Does filter coffee become bitter more quickly than espresso?
Filter coffee has a longer brewing time, which releases more flavour compounds. This doesn’t necessarily make it bitter, but if the grind is too fine or the water is too hot, the chances increase. Use a coarser grind and check the temperature of the water.
Can milk mask the bitterness?
Yes, milk (especially whole milk) softens the bitter flavours in coffee. The fats in milk bind to the bitter components, making the taste creamier. A splash of milk or a plant-based alternative can certainly help.
What exactly is brewing coffee?
Brewing coffee is the process in which you run water through ground coffee to extract flavours, aromas and caffeine. Depending on how you do this—with pressure, by extraction or through infusion—you get a different taste experience each time.
What is the best temperature to use when brewing coffee?
Between 88 and 96 °C. For lightly roasted coffee, use slightly hotter water (94–96 °C); for dark roasted coffee, use slightly cooler water (88–90 °C). Always allow boiling water to cool down for a moment.
What is the most sustainable way to brew coffee?
Manual methods such as the French press, moka pot, V60 and Chemex are the most sustainable. They use little or no electricity, last a long time and produce less waste – especially if you use reusable filters.

How do I use the Royal T-Stick Earl Grey and what are the advantages compared to regular tea bags?
The Royal T-Stick Earl Grey is very easy to use. Simply take a stick from the packaging and stir it directly into hot water. If you wish, you can add sugar first and stir with the same stick. You can then determine the strength of the tea yourself by letting the stick steep for a longer or shorter time. There is no need for a spoon or tea bag anymore, and you avoid drips, mess, and strings disappearing into the tea. Afterwards, the stick can go straight into the bin.

Are the Royal T-Sticks individually packaged and what does that mean for the environment?
Each T-Stick is individually wrapped in plastic for optimal freshness and hygiene. We understand that some customers wonder if this could be more sustainable. At present, they are packaged per stick; together with our supplier, we are investigating whether more environmentally friendly packaging is possible.
