“Love this coffee. Tastes like dessert but I still slept like a baby. Didn’t think decaf could actually hit this hard.”

Brewing Guide:
Drip / Filter
Ingredients:
- Filtered water 1000 g
- Heist Coffee 14.5g
How to make:
- Grind to a medium, table-salt texture. Decaf throws more fines than caffeinated coffee, so if the brew stalls, go coarser before you change anything else
- Rinse a flat-bottom paper filter with hot water and discard the rinse water.
- Add the grounds and level the bed flat. An uneven bed is the most common cause of a weak pot.
- If your brewer has a pre-infusion setting, use it.
- Brew. Most machines take four to six minutes on their own.
- Stir the carafe before you pour. Batch brews stratify, and the first cup and the last cup are different coffees otherwise.
- Drink within 30 minutes. Thermal carafe, never a hot plate.
Espresso Martini
Serving size:
Ingredients:
- Vodka 2 oz
- Coffee Liqueur 0.5 oz
- Smooth Talker espresso, fresh 1 oz (a double, 38-40 g)
- Demerara syrup (2:1) Demerara syrup (2:1)
- Coffee beans, to garnish 3
How to make:
- Chill the coupe
- Pull the espresso straight into the shaker.
- Add the syrup and a full scoop of ice.
- Shake as hard as you can for 15 seconds.
- Fine strain into the chilled coupe.
- It should land with a dense, hazelnut-coloured foam on top. Three ingredients, 45 seconds, no alcohol.
Pour Over
Ingredients:
- Smooth Talker, whole bean 20 g
- Filtered water 320 g
How to make:
- Boil, then let the kettle rest 30 seconds. You want 200-204 F / 94-96 C.
- Rinse a V60 paper thoroughly and discard the rinse water. This is what removes the paper taste and preheats the brewer.
- Add the grounds, tap the bed flat, and make a shallow well in the centre.
- Bloom with 50 g of water. Swirl gently, then wait 45 seconds.
- At 0:45, pour steadily to 200 g.
- At 1:30, pour to 320 g. Keep the stream central and off the walls.
- Swirl once to level the bed, then leave it alone.
- Drawdown should finish between 2:45 and 3:00. Past 3:30, grind coarser next time.
Espresso
Ingredients:
- Smooth Talker, ground 18 g
- Yield in the cup 38-40 g
How to make:
- Set the brew temperature to 200 F / 92-93 C. Lower than you would run a caffeinated medium roast.
- Set the brew temperature to 200 F / 92-93 C. Lower than you would run a caffeinated medium roast.
- Break up the clumps with a needle tool. Decaf pucks channel more than caffeinated ones, so this step is not optional.
- Level, then tamp straight and light.
- Pre-infuse for five to eight seconds, then run the shot.
- Stop at 38-40 g in the cup, around 27 to 30 seconds total.
- If the shot gushes or runs pale early, the puck channeled. Redistribute and re-tamp. Do not grind finer to chase it.
Affogato
Ingredients:
- Vanilla gelato, high butterfat 85-100 g
- Smooth Talker espresso 38-40 g
- Flaky sea salt a pinch
How to make:
- Put the glass in the freezer for a few minutes. A cold glass is what stops it turning to soup.
- Scoop the gelato in. Use the highest butterfat you can find — cheap ice cream goes watery the second the espresso hits it.
- Pull the espresso and pour it straight over, at the table.
- Add a pinch of flaky salt. Optional, and also the best version.
- Serve immediately, with a spoon.
Cold Brew
Ingredients:
- Smooth Talker, whole bean 150 g
- Cold filtered water 1200 g
- Fine sea salt a pinch
How to make:
- Grind coarse, coarser than you would for French press. Fines make cold brew muddy and they never settle out.
- Combine the grounds and cold filtered water in a large jar.
- Stir once, only until every ground is wet. Then leave it alone, stirring mid-steep pulls bitterness.
- Steep 12 to 14 hours at room temperature, or 18 to 20 in the fridge. Decaf extracts faster than caffeinated coffee, so pull it earlier than a recipe you have used before.
- Strain through a fine mesh.
- Strain a second time through a paper filter or a clean cloth, and do not squeeze the bed. Two-stage filtering is the whole difference between cafe and home cold brew.
- Add a two-finger pinch of fine salt per litre. It kills the residual bitterness and reads as sweetness. Try it before you dismiss it.
- Dilute 1:1 with water, milk or oat milk over ice. Keeps 10 to 14 days sealed in the fridge.
AeroPress
Ingredients:
- Smooth Talker, whole bean 16 g
How to make:
- Boil and rest the kettle to 200 F / 92-93 C.
- Rinse one paper filter, cap it, and stand the AeroPress on your mug the normal way up. Use two papers if you want a cleaner cup.
- Add the grounds, then pour all the water in one go, right to the top.
- Stir for 10 seconds.
- Cap it and steep until 1:30 on the clock.
- Press slowly for 30 seconds. Stop the moment you hear the hiss, pushing past it only forces fines through.
French Press
Ingredients:
- Smooth Talker, whole bean 30 g
- Filtered water 450 g
How to make:
- Boil and rest the kettle to 200-203 F / 93-95 C.
- Add the grounds, pour all the water, and start a timer.
- At 4:00, break the crust with three gentle stirs.
- Skim the foam and floating grounds off the top and throw them away.
- Rest the plunger on the surface but do not press. Wait five more minutes — the fines settle on their own.
- Press just to the surface, then pour out every drop immediately.
- Never leave brewed coffee sitting on the bed. It keeps extracting and turns bitter.
