Grind Size
Whilst our 227g and 1kg bags of beans are both available as whole beans, we currently only offer ground beans in our 227g bags to help you maintain freshness and the perfect cup of coffee. Our ground coffee is a general - purpose grind, which is suitable for all styles of filter coffee, (e.g. cafetiere, drip, V60, Aeropress), but for best results we don't advise using it in espresso machines.
