Having an ultra-specific recipe for every coffee is a bit unrealistic and, frankly, not much fun to keep track of.

So, instead of giving you a strict recipe, we’re sharing a broad guide to help you get started with your pour-over.

Think of it as a template, not a rulebook. The fun really begins with your second brew. Once you’ve tasted the first cup, you can start experimenting by changing one variable at a time and seeing how it affects the flavour.

Over time, you’ll develop a recipe of your own that suits your taste. Some people love a fuller body and punchier flavours, while others prefer clarity and distinct flavour separation.

There’s no right or wrong way to brew. Find what you enjoy, and make it your own. ☕️

Meet Asman Gembira ☕️

Behind this coffee is Asman Arianto, a producer from the Gayo Highlands of Sumatra who brings together local farmers with a shared passion for quality. Through careful processing and a commitment to better coffee, he’s helping showcase a different side of Indonesian coffee.

His latest coffee is here, and we’re excited to share it with you.

Sweet, creamy and full of character, Asman Gembira is our latest espresso roast, made for a little more joy in your daily cup.

Meet Kintamani Surya ☀️

From the highlands of Bali, this washed coffee is a little reminder of why we’re so excited about Kintamani.

One of Indonesia’s most exciting coffee regions, Kintamani is known for producing exceptionally clean, bright coffees, with varieties that go beyond the usual Indonesian line-up — including some unique to Bali itself.

Behind this coffee is a producer who helped pioneer specialty coffee farming in the region, paving the way for the quality we see today.

Expect juicy mandarin, golden kiwi and the sweetness of baked apple. 🍊🥝🍎

A little taste of Bali, in a very different light.

People love debating dripper materials, but most of what material changes is heat retention, not flavour.

Think of spoons in hot soup:

Metal → gets hot fast
Ceramic → heats up slower, stays warm
Wood → stays cool
Plastic → barely heats up

Drippers work similarly.

Less heat pulled away from your brew = more temperature stability.

Will material change everything? No.
Recipe, grind size, and pouring matter more.

But for consistency and practicality?

Plastic is still the classic.

Not every coffee we name tastes exactly like the thing it’s named after.

Take Frinsa Canele.

We didn’t call it that because it literally tastes like biting into a canelé. It’s more of a feeling — the kind of coffee that reminds us of that satisfying honey-like sweetness, caramelised edges, and rich depth you get from one.

Sweet, syrupy, comforting, with just enough roast character to feel indulgent.

A vibe, more than a flavour note.

Dialling in your pour over?

Rather than memorising recipes, start understanding the key variables behind brewing.
Let’s start with one of the most important: ratio.

Brew ratio controls how strong or light your coffee tastes — and small changes can make a big difference.

As a general guide:
• Lower ratios (1:14–1:15) → stronger, heavier
• Higher ratios (1:17+) → lighter, cleaner

This is a general guide — not a rule.
Every coffee is different, and your grind, water, and technique all matter.

Start with 1:16, adjust from there, and trust your taste.

is now serving our Frinsa Peach Tart.

If you haven’t been — Warkop Sandwich Shop is one of the most exciting Indonesian-influenced sandwich spots around right now.

No exaggeration… their filet-o-fish sandwich is one of the best versions I’ve ever had. And the fried chicken? Super addictive, proper Indo-style flavour.

Proud to see Indonesian specialty coffee sitting alongside Indonesian flavours on their menu.

Go try it!

The best thing about lactic acid process is that it has the fruity notes of an anaerobic natural, but the lactic acid makes it much smoother and gentler.

Making coffee at home has never been better.

Cafés still have the edge: better equipment, experienced baristas, and dialled-in recipes.

But at home, you have control!

You choose the beans.
You adjust the recipe.
You brew it exactly how you like it.

And today, it’s easier than ever, with better gear, better knowledge, and access to incredible specialty coffee from around the world.

Don’t just chase café-quality coffee. Make coffee that’s perfect for you.

Not all coffee roasters are the same and they shape how your coffee tastes.

Drum roasters (cast iron) use a mix of conduction and convection for balanced, well-developed flavours.

Air (fluid bed) roasters use hot air for cleaner, brighter profiles.

We use cast iron drum roasting for that full flavour development.
