Seasonal espresso blend 

Black Velvet dark blend coffee, a tribute to traditional Italian espresso.

This year, it is our Brazilian, Fazenda Bananal (Natural) paired with our Indonesian, Sumatra Gayo (Wet-hulled) and Colombia La Esperanza (Washed). Black Velvet celebrates the darker side of coffee, emphasizing notes of caramel, molasses, dark chocolate and spices. For those wanting something rich and smooth, Black Velvet dark roast coffee is for you.

Espresso recipe we are using:

•⁠  ⁠⁠Ground coffee weight: 19g
•⁠  ⁠⁠Beverage weight: 39-40g yield
•⁠  ⁠⁠Brew Ratio : 1:2.1
•⁠  ⁠⁠Brew (extraction) time: 26-27 seconds
•⁠  ⁠⁠Water temperature: 92°C
•⁠  ⁠⁠Resting Period: Rested (27-35 days from roasting date)

*Note: As each machine is different, start with an amount of coffee that comfortably fits in your basket. We are using VST 20gm baskets for our recipes. For example, if your portafilter fits 16g of coffee, you need to down dose it as per our recipe. Dose and distribute carefully using a scale capable of reading to an accuracy of 0,1g. 

Hot tips:
Make sure the portafilter is hot when you start brewing. If it’s not, run some hot water through it to heat it up. The espresso shot should first come out as drips and be heavy and oily, and eventually become a steady stream. Please use your grind setting to achieve the recommended brew time.

COFFEE BY COLOUR

Colour can intuitively communicate
how coffee tastes.

At THREE we communicate how our coffees taste through colour. We have grouped all of the
coffees we offer into three different colour groups, based on their sensory characteristics. This
makes it easy for you to find coffees you like.
