Suitable for manual Espresso machines, this is the finest grind available. The aim is for extraction times of between 20 and 30 seconds.
Slightly less fine than the Espresso grind, this grind is suitable for Italian percolators (or “moka” coffee makers). Extraction time varies between 2 and 3 minutes.
This medium-fine grind is suitable for commercial electric machines with filter holders. The brewing time is longer, approximately 4 to 5 minutes.
This is the coarsest grind. It is suitable for French press coffee makers and Slow Coffee equipment (Hario, Chemex, etc.). Brewing time is between 4 and 5 minutes.
As we state on the back of our chocolate bar sleeves and coffee bags, currently only “some of our raw materials” are transported by sail, so not all our products are for the time being. Indeed, when the design of the 1st Grain de Sail ship was launched (in 2016) we were far from imagining that our products would have met with such success: over 330 tonnes of chocolate produced by 2021! Today, coffees represent a smaller portion of our sales than chocolate, so we have chosen to prioritize the transport of cocoa mass in order to meet the volumes required. As a result, a large proportion of our coffees are still shipped conventionally.
