COFFEE
What does single-origin mean?
What does single-origin mean?
Single-origin means that the coffee beans can be traced back to a single farm, farmer, producer, crop, or region within a country. Single-origin coffees carry a distinct flavour that's a direct result of the region's climate and processing methods
Filter roast or Espresso roast? What is the difference?
Filter roast or Espresso roast? What is the difference?
Our espresso beans are roasted with care, using slightly higher temperatures and a longer duration to create a bold and concentrated flavour. By forcing hot water through finely-ground coffee under high pressure, you can achieve the unmistakable intensity, rich body, and velvety layer of crema that define our espresso.
On the other hand, our filter coffee beans undergo a gentler roasting process, bringing out their subtler complexities. Roasted to a lower final temperature and for a shorter time, these beans give a
milder and smoother cup of coffee. When hot water is poured over coarser grounds, it leisurely extracts the flavours, resulting in a cup that showcases the pronounced and nuanced characteristics of our filter coffee.
Varietals,what does this mean?
Varietals,what does this mean?
A coffee varietal represents a unique type of coffee plant. The specific growing location and conditions play a vital role
in shaping the coffee cherry’s flavour, making it a key factor in the taste that awaits in your Axil cup.
What is the difference between each Axil espresso blend?
What is the difference between each Axil espresso blend?
Our seasonal blend is our most popular roast! It is a versatile blend, working well with both milk-based coffees such as lattes & flat whites, or as a black coffee with some extra kick!
Whereas our Heavyweight blend is a more developed roast than our seasonal blend, for those looking for a bigger body and less acidity in their cup of coffee.
Our Pele blend is perfect for those looking for something in between. It caters to both black coffee enthusiasts and those who enjoy their coffee with milk.
What is Direct Trade Coffee
What is Direct Trade Coffee
At Axil Coffee, we are proud to label our coffee as Direct Trade, and it’s an important part of what we do. To achieve this we must meet the following criteria:
- Communication: We have travelled to the farm within this harvest and negotiated a direct price with the coffee producer.
- Price: We guarantee to pay 25% more than the current fair trade price to ensure a stronger and more sustainable relationship with the producaer.
- Quality: Our green bean coffee buying team visits the farms, to assess and score every coffee before we commit to the purchase.
- Sustainability: The producers and farms we visit are committed to maintaining strong environmental and socially responsible practices.
How should I store my coffee beans once the bag is opened?
How should I store my coffee beans once the bag is opened?
Proper storage is essential to preserve the freshness and flavour of your coffee. We recommend following these guidelines:
- Keep it airtight - prevent exposure to oxygen by ensuring your coffee bag is properly sealed after it has been opened.
- Avoid light, heat, and moisture: Coffee is sensitive to light, heat, and moisture, so it's best to store it in a cool, dark, and dry place. Avoid placing your coffee near the stove, oven, or other sources of heat.
- Grind just before brewing: For optimal freshness, grind your coffee beans just before brewing. This ensures maximum flavour extraction and helps to maintain the coffee's aroma and taste.
