The amount of coffee and quality play a decisive role in the final result of any brewing method. With the pour-over method, you have more control over these factors than with other brewing methods such as the French Press or Espresso. But how do precise dosing and preparation affect coffee quality, and why does Pour Over offer particularly high precision? Why is the amount of coffee so important for Pour Over? The pour-over method allows you to precisely control the exact amount of ground coffee and water, resulting in a more consistent and balanced taste. This flexibility offers more control than other brewing methods, where fewer adjustments are often possible. How does the amount of coffee affect the taste? The exact dosing of ground coffee and water ensures that the coffee is neither over- nor underextracted. An incorrect amount can make the coffee taste either too bitter or too weak. Tips for the ideal amount of coffee for Pour Over Recommendation: For Pour Over, you should use about 60 grams of ground coffee per liter of water to achieve a balanced taste. Depending on the bean variety and preference, you can slightly adjust this amount. Controlling quality with Pour Over Compared to other brewing methods such as French Press or Espresso, with Pour Over you have more influence on the quality of the final product. The slow and even extraction gives you full control over the brewing process, ensuring consistent extraction and thus high coffee quality. How does the brewing process affect the quality of the coffee? By slowly pouring the water, you have the opportunity to extract the coffee optimally. This minimizes bitter substances and brings out the delicate aromas better. This control is lacking in many other methods where the brewing process is faster or less precise. Why is Pour Over often better suited for high-quality coffee beans? Pour Over is particularly well suited for specialty coffees like single-origin coffees or light roasts, as the method optimally extracts the complex aromas. Compared to French Press or Espresso, the subtle nuances of the coffee are better preserved. Comparison with other brewing methods: What about French Press and Espresso? With the French Press, the amount of coffee is also adjustable, but you have less influence on the extraction because the coffee remains in direct contact with the water. This often leads to a stronger, but also less precise taste. Espresso, on the other hand, works with high pressure, so the amount and quality of the coffee depend heavily on the machine and the grind size, but less on the brewing method itself. Advantages and disadvantages of coffee quantity control for French Press and Espresso French Press: Strong, full-bodied taste, but less control over the exact extraction. Espresso: High intensity, but dependent on the machine and pressure. Less flexible in adjusting the amount of coffee. Conclusion: Why Pour Over is the best choice for precision The Pour Over method offers unparalleled control over the amount of coffee and the quality of the final product. The slow and precise extraction allows you to optimally adjust the taste, which is particularly advantageous for high-quality coffee beans. Compared to other methods such as French Press or Espresso, Pour Over allows for finer tuning to personal preferences and ensures a more consistent taste experience.

Dear coffee lovers, What an intense year 2025 lies behind us! We are infinitely grateful for your loyalty, which has carried us through the challenging moments of the past twelve months. Before we bid farewell to a well-deserved "year-end reflection" starting December 22nd to recharge our batteries, we have today the most important information of the year for your holiday planning. ———————————————————— Quality that convinces: Our 2025 Highlights Despite all circumstances, our product development never stood still this year. We are proud that we were able to offer you true taste experiences: The introduction of our Nanolot Espresso (https://tegernseer-kaffeeroesterei.de/produkt/espresso-tansania-lunji-estate-fully-washed/) from our coffee research plantation in Tanzania was a complete success, as was the refinement of our blend with Il Mario V.2 (https://tegernseer-kaffeeroesterei.de/produkt/il-mario-v2-omni-roast/). The launch of the DECAF Carbonic Natural (https://tegernseer-kaffeeroesterei.de/produkt/decaf-entkoffeinierter-kaffee-carbonic-natural/) and the new filter coffee from Colombia Las Petunias (https://tegernseer-kaffeeroesterei.de/produkt/kaffee-kolumbien-las-petunias/) has shown: Uncompromising quality is our standard, with or without caffeine. To sustainably finance exactly this level of quality, from nanolot to blend, and to remain fair, adjustments to prices and minimum order values were necessary this year. We know this is not a given and sincerely thank you for your understanding. Only this way can we maintain transparency and bring you the quality you deserve in your cup. ———————————————————— Big things cast their shadows ahead… We are not only using our winter break for recovery. Behind the scenes, we are working on a strategic reorientation that will culminate in March 2026. Get ready: The countdown to the start of our new roaster era, which focuses even more on sustainability and quality, begins on January 5th!

Dear coffee lovers, we hope you had a good start to the new year and wish you a happy, healthy and successful 2025! We would like to inform you about an important decision that we have not taken lightly. Despite intensive efforts to keep our costs as low as possible, we have experienced significant increases in our production costs in recent months. Here we would like to explain the reasons why we are forced to adjust our prices. Reasons for the price adjustment Increased green coffee prices: The prices for Arabica and Robusta coffee have doubled since October 2023, which has massively increased our purchasing costs. As you can read in Handelsblatt, this is a global trend affecting the entire industry. Higher logistics costs: Transport costs for overseas freight have increased significantly due to global supply bottlenecks and ongoing uncertainties, such as attacks on cargo ships in the Red Sea. Energy and operating costs: Persistently high gas and energy prices as well as general inflation affect almost all areas – from warehousing to packaging materials and operating costs. General price increases: According to an analysis by Wallstreet-Online, consumers must expect price increases of up to 30%. Our response From rising raw material costs to higher operating expenses – the economic conditions make an adjustment of our price structure unavoidable. We have explored all options to keep the impact on you as small as possible. The adjustment is necessary to continue offering the usual quality and service. It enables us to invest in modern technologies and sustainable processes and to continuously improve our offerings. Price adjustment from January 13, 2025 As of January 13, 2025, we will adjust our prices according to the new circumstances. A central reason for this is the increase in green coffee prices – especially Arabica beans, whose prices have reached a 27-year high. Our focus remains unchanged Despite these challenges, our focus remains: Fair prices for our coffee farmers. Promotion of sustainable projects. Transparency throughout the supply chain. We source many of our coffees directly from farmers with whom we work closely. These partnerships enable us to import selected coffees with full transparency, support the people behind the beans, and value their work. Your understanding and loyalty We know that price adjustments are always a challenge and would like to thank you for your understanding. We assure you that we will do everything possible to keep prices as moderate as possible without compromising on quality. Thank you very much for your loyalty – your support enables us to remain your first choice for high-quality coffee enjoyment in the future. With warm regards and best wishes for 2025,Your Team at Erste Tegernseer Kaffeerösterei
