Revel Roast Suggested Brewing

Best Match:

Pour-Over (V60)

• Grind Size: Medium, similar to coarse sand.
• Coffee-to-Water Ratio: 1:15 (e.g., 20g coffee to 300g water).
• Water Temperature: 200°F to 205°F (93°C to 96°C).
• Brew Time: 3–4 minutes.
• Instructions:
  1. Rinse the filter with hot water.
  2. Add coffee grounds and pour a small amount of water to bloom (30–45 seconds).
  3. Pour remaining water slowly in circles, allowing full drainage between each pour.

Tip: The medium-dark roast of Revel Roast holds up well to a pour over — the washed process keeps the cup clean and structured while the dark chocolate and caramel notes come through with clarity.

French Press

• Grind Size: Coarse, resembling breadcrumbs.
• Coffee-to-Water Ratio: 1:15 (e.g., 30g coffee to 450g water).
• Water Temperature: 200°F (93°C).
• Brew Time: 4 minutes.
• Instructions:
  1. Add coffee grounds to the French press and pour in hot water.
  2. Stir gently, then place the plunger on top without pressing.
  3. Steep for 4 minutes, press the plunger down slowly and serve immediately.

Tip: Full immersion brings out Revel Roast's bold dark chocolate and almond depth — don't rush the press.

Drip Coffee

• Grind Size: Medium, similar to coarse sand.
• Coffee-to-Water Ratio: 1:16 (e.g., 1 heaping tablespoon per cup of water).
• Water Temperature: 195°F to 205°F (90°C to 96°C).
• Brew Time: 5–6 minutes.
• Instructions:
  1. Place a filter in the basket and add coffee grounds.
  2. Fill the reservoir with fresh, cold water.
  3. Turn the machine on and allow the coffee to drip fully before serving.

Tip: Clean your machine regularly — mineral buildup can dull the caramel notes that make Revel Roast so satisfying.

Espresso

• Grind Size: Fine, like powdered sugar.
• Coffee-to-Water Ratio: 1:2 (e.g., 18g coffee to 36g espresso out).
• Water Temperature: 195°F to 200°F (90°C to 93°C).
• Brew Time: 25–30 seconds.
• Instructions:
  1. Grind beans finely and distribute evenly in the portafilter.
  2. Tamp firmly and evenly with consistent pressure.
  3. Pull the shot for 25–30 seconds until a rich, dark espresso with a golden crema is achieved.

Tip: Revel Roast's bold profile concentrates beautifully under pressure — the dark chocolate and almond notes become especially pronounced in espresso.
