Metal, plastic or ceramic? There are plenty of cone-shaped pour-over drippers to choose from, so what's the difference and which one suits the way you brew?

The material affects how a dripper absorbs and transfers heat, which in turn affects preheating and extraction. Shape matters, too: The cone, ridges and opening all influence how the filter sits and how water moves through your coffee.

Choosing a dripper also means thinking about your everyday routine. Will it stay on your kitchen counter or come along on your travels? Do you enjoy taking your time with each brew, or prefer a simpler setup?

We break down all these details to help you choose the right dripper, or better understand the one you already have.

Watch the full guide on our YouTube channel through the link in our bio, and let us know what brewing questions we should cover next!

Tyler’s home roasting journey starts here!
Episode 1 of Tyler Gets Roasted is now on YouTube.

We’re used to choosing coffee that’s ready to grind and brew. Taking a step back to the green beans opens up a whole new set of questions, and Tyler | specialty coffee blog is ready to ask them.

He starts here at Eight Ounce, choosing the tools for his home roasting setup and figuring out what he’ll need for that first batch. There’s plenty to learn, so join us on the inside track as Tyler gets roasted!

Thank you to WE ARE APEX COFFEE IMPORTS for supplying the green coffee and sharing their time and knowledge!

“The best coffee is the coffee you like...” Now that’s a statement we can really get behind!
It’s also the guiding principle of our newest roaster partner, MAME. Based in Zurich, Switzerland, MAME was founded in 2016 by Emi Fukahori and Mathieu Theis, who believe finding the best coffee begins with conversation. Learning what their guests enjoy helps guide their sourcing, roasting and brewing, making room for a wide range of flavours and preferences.

Emi is the 2018 World Brewers Cup Champion, and Mathieu has won the Swiss Barista Championship multiple times. Competing and supporting other coffee professionals has shown them how different brewing approaches can reveal something new in the same coffee. They bring those discoveries (and the care behind them) into their everyday roasting and brewing.

We’re excited to share coffees like Full Bloom, Pearl, and Chelchele with you, exploring flavours ranging from sweet almond and biscotti to blackberry, violet, and Thai tea.

Find MAME through the link in our bio, and let us know which coffee you’re keen to try first. We have a feeling these coffees won’t last long!

What would you put on your favourite mug?

Whether it's your logo, an illustration, or a meaningful design, custom branding is a thoughtful way to make holiday gifts personal for your team, clients, or family.

Maybe it’s a drawing that means something to your team, or your company logo on a mug for a client’s morning coffee. We can help you turn that idea into a gift with a place in their daily routine.

Holiday orders close November 5, so allow yourself plenty of time to plan. Get in touch to start your custom project!

For something so central to specialty coffee, the espresso grinder is weirdly slow to change. Most years, it really does not. So when Rowan told us the Rev Series actually moved the needle, that stuck with us.

And he had the receipts. Consistent in the cup. Easy to clean. Steady on temperature. Sweet shots. Support that picked up the phone when they needed it. Nothing leaning on a single headline feature, all of it quietly adding up.

We asked him for a verdict and got nothing but good things. If another Phil and Sebastian ever opens its doors, he reckons the Rev Series would be one of the easiest calls on the list.

The full conversation with Rowan is linked in our bio. Worth a watch.
