Brew Guides

We roast it to an exact profile. Here is how to land it in your cup.

Dial in the brew. Every Javai coffee is roasted to a precise, repeatable curve. The rest is just landing it.

Grind fresh

Grinding just before you brew gives the brightest cup. No grinder? Our pre-ground is sealed fresh and roasted to order.

Off the boil

Heat water to about 96°C / 205°F, just off the boil. Too hot scorches, too cool under-extracts.

Weigh it

Our baseline is 1 gram of coffee to 16 grams of water. A small scale is the single best upgrade.

Ceremonial Matcha

Whisk it yourself.

Move the whisk around the bowl, any direction, and watch the powder whisk into froth.

Move the whisk to froth

Loose wrist. Any direction works.

Matcha

2g / 1 tsp

Water

60ml

Temp

80°C / 175°F

Whisk

15 to 20s

Sift 2g of matcha into a wide bowl to break up clumps.
Add 60ml of water at 80°C / 175°F. Hotter water turns matcha bitter.
Whisk briskly in a W or M zig-zag, not a circle, until a fine froth forms.
For a latte, whisk with 30ml water first, then top with steamed milk.

Flux Pods

Drop. Brew. Done.

Single-serve and roasted to the same standard as everything we make.

Cup size

6 to 8 oz

Roasts

Light / Med / Dark

Grind

Pre-dosed

Effort

None

Drop a Flux pod into your Keurig-style brewer.
Select a 6 to 8 oz cup. Smaller pulls a bolder cup; larger sizes dilute it.
If the machine has been sitting, run a water-only cycle first to warm it through.
Pick your roast: Flux Light, Medium, or Dark, roasted on demand.

Grind Guide

Match the grind to the method.

The single biggest lever after freshness. Get this right and everything else falls into place.

Coarse

French Press · Cold Brew

Chunky, like coarse sea salt.

Medium

Pour-Over · Drip

Even, like granulated sugar.

Fine

Espresso

Powdery, like table salt.

Keep It Fresh

We roast on demand and ship within two business days, so freshness is on your side. Protect it.

Store sealed, cool, dark, and dry.
Skip the fridge and freezer for daily coffee; temperature swings pull in moisture.
Buy what you will drink in a few weeks and let the roast date work for you.
