How many cups of coffee do I get from a kilo of Costa Coffee Character Bright Blend?

For filter coffee you count on about 5 to 8 grams per cup. A 1 kilo bag then gives you roughly 125 to 200 cups.

For a double espresso you use 16 to 20 grams, which works out at around 50 to 60 double espressos per kilo. The exact amount depends on your machine and on how strong you want your coffee.

Can I also make cold brew or iced coffee with the AeroPress Clear?

Yes. Besides an espresso style preparation, the AeroPress Clear lends itself well to cold brew and iced coffee. The fast extraction with little bitterness works nicely for cold preparations.

For iced coffee you brew a concentrated cup and pour it straight over ice. For cold brew you let the coffee steep for longer before you press down the plunger.

How do I store L'OR Elegant Espresso coffee beans?

Store the bag somewhere cool and dark and keep it tightly sealed. Not in the fridge, because moisture and condensation are bad for the aroma.

Unopened, coffee beans stay good until the date on the packaging. Once opened they taste best within a few weeks to months, so fill your bean hopper with the amount you will get through quickly.

How do I clean the Hario V60 dripper and the glass server?

Clean the server and the pour-over filter with warm water and washing-up liquid. Rinse well, because coffee oil clings to the glass and the plastic and otherwise affects the taste of your next cup.

The paper coffee filters are intended for single use. After brewing, throw the filter away together with the coffee grounds.

How do I store the illy Costa Rica coffee beans after opening?

Seal the packaging well after opening and store the beans in a cool, dark and dry place. Do not put them in the fridge, because beans absorb moisture and odours there.

Ground coffee loses its aroma faster than whole beans, so only grind what you need at that moment.

How do I best store the Kimbo Aroma Organic coffee beans?

Store the beans cool, dark and tightly closed, for example in the original bag with the seal closed or in an airtight storage tin. Do not put coffee in the fridge, because there it takes on moisture and odours. An unopened pack keeps for about a year, but we recommend using up the beans within a few weeks to three months after opening, because the aroma noticeably declines after that.

Do I still need to descale my machine if I use this water filter?

Yes. This water filter cleans tap water of chlorine, lead and copper for example, but your machine will still build up limescale.

We advise you to descale your appliance at least 2 times a year. Always remove the water filter from the tank before you start the descaling programme.

Can I refill the Royal T tea chest later with individual tea sticks?

Yes. The six compartments of the chest are made for Royal-T tea sticks, and we sell those separately by the box.

That way you can keep refilling the chest with the flavours that go fastest in your office or household.

How do you clean the bamboo matcha whisk from the starter set?

Rinse the whisk with warm water immediately after use and do not use any washing-up liquid. Then put it to dry on the whisk holder supplied, so that the prongs keep their round shape.

We advise you not to put the whisk, the scoop and the holder in the dishwasher, because bamboo can be damaged by it. Wash the bowl by hand with a soft sponge.

How do I best store the Millesime Ghana chocolate?

Store the bar cool and dry, preferably at around 15 to 18 degrees, and well sealed in its packaging. Do not put chocolate in the fridge, because cold and moisture make it bloom, which gives a grey haze and a grainy bite. Also keep the bar away from strongly scented products, because cocoa butter absorbs smells quickly.

How do I best store the Original Beans Virunga 70% chocolate?

Store the bar cool and dry, preferably at around 15 to 18 degrees, and well sealed in its packaging. Do not put chocolate in the fridge: the cold and the moisture can make it bloom, giving a grey haze on the surface and a grainy bite. Also keep the bar away from strong smelling products, because cocoa butter absorbs odours easily.

How do I store an opened tin of Lavazza Espresso Italiano Classico?

Close the tin properly after use and store it in a cool, dry and dark place. A kitchen cupboard well away from the hob works better than the worktop next to the machine.

Ground coffee loses its aroma faster than whole beans, because far more surface area is in contact with air. We therefore advise using up an opened tin within a few weeks and not keeping the coffee in the fridge.

Can you also make iced tea from Sweet n Spicy Redbush?

Yes, this rooibos works well as a cold drink. Brew the tea twice as strong, about 4 to 5 grams per 200 ml, and let it cool down completely at room temperature. Then pour it over a glass with ice cubes and garnish to taste with a slice of lemon, fresh strawberries or mint.

How do I best store Kimbo Decaffeinato coffee beans?

Store the beans cool, dark and well sealed, in the original bag or in an airtight tin.

Do not put coffee beans in the fridge, because there they absorb moisture and odours.

The best before date is on the packaging. An opened pack is best used within a few weeks, because after that the coffee noticeably loses aroma.

How many cups of tea do I get from 100 grams of Strawberry Fields Forever?

At about 2 grams per cup, this 100 gram pack gives you around 50 cups of tea. Store the tea dry, dark and tightly closed, and the flavour will stay good for a long time. Do not keep the tea next to strongly scented products, because tea leaves easily absorb odours.
