THE AEROPRESS

SHOW ME HOW TO BREW

We like the AeroPress for a lot of reasons. It's durable, portable and flexible, ideal for brewing your Grumpy Mule coffee, anytime, anywhere.

THE FRENCH PRESS

SHOW ME HOW TO BREW

More commonly known as the Cafetiere! An easy and reliable home brew method that when used correctly produces a cup with a fuller mouth feel than a pour over.

ESPRESSO MACHINES

SHOW ME HOW TO BREW

Making a home espresso is like hosting a house party. Get the conditions and the ingredients right, and it’s great. Don’t, and you could be left with a real bad taste in your mouth.

V60 POUR OVER

SHOW ME HOW TO BREW

V60 is the name for a single cup brewer designed by Hario – the 60 stands for the angle in degrees that forms the shape of the cone. Cool, hey.

THE
CHEMEX

SHOW ME HOW TO BREW

An iconic piece of coffee design and a great way to make coffee for more than one cup. Different size Chemex brewers are available, but we really like the 6 cup which is best suited to brews of between 400ml to 1litre.

THE
MOKA POT

SHOW ME HOW TO BREW

The Moka Pot is seeing a comeback! An Italian invention from Bialetti. It was quickly adopted by the domestic market of Italy as a way of producing a coffee similar in style to an espresso at home.

Choose your Weapon

Grumpy Mule coffees are suitable for use in a wide range of brewing equipment. For espresso machines, finely grind your beans for best results.

Load Up

Use 2 heaped dessertspoonfuls (those big ones your mum only had out for special occasions) of fresh, ground coffee per cup. If you want to be a nerd about it that’s 15g per 250ml of coffee.

Espresso-heads, a good extraction time for our coffee is about 27 seconds per shot. Just don’t count mississipily.

Fire

Allow heated water to come off the boil (about 93-95º) before pouring. It’s just enough time to tweet a pic of the pack at a jaunty angle.

Serve the coffee immediately once brewed.
