—— Sun’s out (ish), looking to make cold brew coffee?

Whether you’re a speciality coffee purist, a person who loves trying something new, or someone anywhere in between, there is no denial that cold brew coffee has made waves in the speciality coffee scene.

Perhaps more popular Down Under or over in Europe or USA than in UK or Scandinavia - you know, where it’s warmer - but if the sun has come out and you fancy making a cold brew coffee at home, visit our online School Fundamentals section to view our cold brew brewing guide. There, we outline our two favourite methods - slow infused and hot coffee over ice.

As a subscription service that isn’t like any others who provide a simple format for a limited amount of offerings, we’ve always a fine balance between information and over-information, looking attractive to use but remain super functional to be usable.

Hoppenworth & Ploch coffee roasters are producers of outstanding specialty coffee and handcrafted baked goods who seek to do an excellent job for all the stakeholders. The precondition for this is a kind and collaborative atmosphere. They invite their customers to be part of this culture by an open and welcoming interaction, all the while they desire to provoke excitement, curiosity and awareness towards their daily ambitions as well as the stories behind their products. This endeavor is enabled by the maximum possible transparency and implementation of the latest innovations, methods and products.

In addition to several cafes across Frankfurt, also supply cafes and business partners right across Germany. We’re huge fans of their decor, and coffees too, of course.
