How to make good coffee

Needless to say, the success of a good coffee unfortunately doesn't depend on just one factor, that of choosing a good coffee; there are two basic principles to know to make good coffee.

First, the 4 M's, which are Machine, Mix, Grind, and Hands.

When I talk about Machine here, it means it's imperative to choose the percolation method (Machine) adapted to our needs and consumption habits. Our in-store advisors will be happy to guide you. You'll understand, then, that for the same Origin or the same Mix, the taste experience will differ from one percolation method to another.

The Mix, for its part, plays an equally important role. At Couleur Café, we will ask you about your taste preferences. That is, are you more of the Bold type or the Velvety type? Are you a fan of dark roast (Italian style) or rather light roast (Robe de moine style)? These are all questions that will help us guide you!

Please note that the Grind must be chosen according to your percolation method (Machine). For example, too fine a grind will give you an over-extracted coffee, and conversely, too coarse a grind will give you an under-extracted coffee. In both cases, you will miss out on the good taste of your chosen coffee. So, take your time to choose the right grind; it's essential!

The Hand (or handling) represents the person preparing the coffee. By taking the time to prepare your coffee well and enjoying it, while respecting the other three M's, the coffee will be all the more excellent!

Secondly, the journey of the bean from Tree to Cup is just as crucial to the success of a good coffee. This work is the object of our great passion: to select for you a product of quality and traceability, where human values will be most respected. Thus ensuring you a quality product.

Enjoy your Coffee! ☕️
