The Chemex
the Chemex
Invented in 1941, the Chemex represents the perfect symbiosis of madness and genius. It is now part of the MoMA (The Museum of Modern Art) collection and appears on the prestigious list of the best inventions of the 20th century according to the Illinois Institute of Technology. With its unique design and the smooth, balanced coffee it produces, it is a favorite among filter brewers.
the French press
the French press
Two French inventors (Meyer and Delforge) patented a precursor to the French press coffee maker in 1852. A modern patent was filed in 1929 by Attilio Calimani of Milan. After undergoing several modifications, another patent was filed in 1958 by Faliero Bondanini, who launched production in France, where it quickly gained popularity. French presses were subsequently distributed in Europe by the British company Household Articles Ltd. and, most notably, by the Danish household goods company Bodum.
The Aeropress
aeropress
The AeroPress® was invented in 2005 by Aerobie president Alan Adler. The coffee is steeped for approximately 60 seconds (depending on the grind and preferred strength), then brewed through a filter by pressing the plunger through the tube. The result? A unique brew you'll never find anywhere else.
espresso
espresso
The espresso machine is believed to have been invented in 1884 by Angelo Moriondo, a Turin-based restaurant owner. To meet the growing demand from his customers, he conceived the idea of creating a machine to serve coffee more quickly.
Since then, machines have obviously evolved a lot, but espresso is and always will be obtained by percolation under high pressure by rapidly passing pressurized hot water (9 bars).
The V60
the v60
The V60's simple and versatile brewing system allows you to have control over all components of coffee extraction.
The siphon
the siphon
The siphon is traditionally a method of hand-brewing, requiring a very precise temperature, attention and skill.

The coffee, on the grounds
Nurseries
nurseries
"Before reaching your cup, your coffee goes through several equally important stages. The first, and certainly not the least, is the nursery. Indeed, the process of planting new coffee trees begins with the careful selection and preparation of the seeds. Discover more in this segment from our latest field trip to Colombia!"

"Colombian coffee-producing regions are increasingly vulnerable to climate change-induced disasters such as irregular rainfall, drought, and disease... and they are not alone."
the Wet Mill

Coffee is processed using different methods. By "processed," we mean the process by which the cherry bean is extracted from the pulp, dried, and prepared for export and roasting.
