Geisha Collaboration Project
This Berry Bag delivers delight. Here, the focus is on the variety. Geisha beans from top farms in different countries harmonise to form a symphony for your palate, in which nots of bergamot and jasmine are played.
This experimental endeavour exudes our extreme love and excitement for coffee and quality. Our goal was to blur the borders between brilliance and madness and bring a bit of both to your cup. We are overjoyed to share the result with you: Geisha Madness.

Zubereitung Espresso
There are many different recipes that lead to an excellent cup of espresso. This example should serve as a basic recipe and can be changed and adapted according to your wishes and willingness to experiment. For each espresso of our line-up we provide a recipe that works well for us.
Preparation in a portafilter (general rules of thumb)
Water temperature | 90-96 °C |
Brewing ratio | 1:2,8 |
Dose | 18 g |
Yield | 50 g |
Time | 25-30 s |
Step by step instructions
- Take the portafilter out of your brew group and rinse the group briefly.
- Place your clean and dry portafilter on a scale and tare it.
- Grind the desired amount of coffee (dose) into your portafilter.
- Distribute the ground coffee evenly in the sieve, you can use your finger here or a distributor.
- When tamping, it is important to apply pressure vertically to the coffee to ensure even compaction. It is also important to apply pressure only once to avoid channeling.
- Remove any coffee residue from the edge of the screen.
- Start your shot as soon as you place the portafilter in the group.
- Stop your shot when your target yield is reached.
- When there’s no more coffees to make, empty, clean and dry your portafilter, flush the group and place the portafilter back into the group to ensure it stays hot.
