Brewing Instructions

KEIN KAFFEE brews just like coffee, with a few simple tips for the very best cup.

Lupine grounds naturally absorb more water and expand during brewing, so giving them a little extra room helps achieve a smooth, balanced extraction.

Four tips

1. Allow space for expansion

   Lupine grounds swell more than coffee. Leave a bit of extra room in your filter, French press or portafilter so the grounds can bloom properly.

2. Add slightly more water

   Because the grounds absorb more liquid, using a touch more water keeps the brew from becoming too strong and preserves the clean, roasted flavor.

3. Choose a coarser grind

   A medium-coarse grind works best. It lets water flow evenly and gives the grounds the space they need to expand.

4. Never tamp

   KEIN KAFFEE should stay loose in the portafilter. Tamping compresses lupine grounds too tightly and restricts water flow, especially in espresso machines.
