Brew Guides
French Press
Best for: rich, full-bodied coffee
Recommended roasts: Backwoods Black, Timberline Blend, Mystic Hollow Mushroom
Copy:
French press brings out body, depth, and those campfire-worthy flavors. It’s slow, simple, and exactly the kind of brewing method Squatch respects.
Quick guide:
Use coarse-ground coffee, hot water just off the boil, and steep for about 4 minutes. Press slowly. Sip proudly.
Cold Brew
Best for: smooth, low-acid coffee
Recommended roasts: Hollow Ridge Colombia, Timberline Blend, Mystic Hollow Mushroom
Copy:
Cold brew is for hot days, lake mornings, and anyone who wants coffee that goes down smooth but still means business.
Quick guide:
Use coarse-ground coffee and cold water. Steep in the fridge for 12–18 hours, strain, and serve over ice. Dilute with water or milk if needed.
Drip Coffee Maker
Best for: everyday mornings
Recommended roasts: Timberline Blend, Hollow Ridge Colombia, Backwoods Black
Copy:
The reliable workhorse. Use freshly ground coffee, clean filtered water, and don’t be afraid to brew it a little stronger than the scoop says. Around here, weak coffee is considered a trail hazard.
Quick guide:
Use 1–2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water. For a bolder cup, use a slightly finer grind or add an extra half scoop.
Pour-Over
Best for: bright, clean flavor
Recommended roasts: Andean Trail Peru, Volcanic Ridge Guatemala, Hollow Ridge Colombia
Copy:
Pour-over is where the lighter roasts shine. It brings out fruit, chocolate, acidity, and all those highland notes without weighing the cup down.
Quick guide:
Use medium-fine coffee, bloom the grounds with a little hot water for 30 seconds, then pour slowly in circles until your mug is full.
Camp Coffee
Best for: outdoors, cabins, trail mornings
Recommended roasts: Backwoods Black, Timberline Blend, Andean Trail Peru
Copy:
No machine. No problem. Camp coffee is part science, part patience, and part accepting that a few grounds in the mug build character.
Quick guide:
Boil water, remove from heat, stir in coarse-ground coffee, let it sit 4 minutes, then pour carefully. Bonus points for an enamel mug.
Mushroom Coffee Guide
Best for: steady focus and daily routine
Recommended roast: Mystic Hollow Mushroom
Copy:
Mystic Hollow Mushroom is built for calm focus, not jitters. Brew it like regular coffee, but give it a slower morning — the kind with fewer notifications and more trees.
Quick guide:
Works well in drip, French press, or pour-over. Avoid over-brewing; keep it smooth and steady.
