Making lupin coffee - as easy as making coffee.
Lupin coffee is prepared in much the same way as classic coffee. Whether stovetop pot, filter or French press - with a few tips, you can easily get the maximum aroma and the best taste from your daily coffee. Loffee out.
You can find detailed instructions for making lupin coffee in a filter or French press here in this article.
The difference? The roast.
In general, the way your lupin coffee will taste depends on the degree of roasting and grinding. Lighter roasts are best prepared in a filter. This is where the subtle flavors are best extracted and not overpowered by roasted aromas. As the roasting temperature increases, the beans build up more roasted and bitter substances and are increasingly better suited as espresso.
The 20/20 rule
The degree of grinding is also crucial for the success of a delicious coffee. As lupins swell much more than coffee, the beans must be ground coarser overall. The total amount of powder must also be reduced.
We call this the 20/20 rule: grind the beans approx. 20% coarser than you are used to with conventional coffee and use 20% less powder. In general, please do not use more than 30g Loffee when preparing in the filter.
If you are not sure about the grind, you can also order all our varieties already ground. We grind all varieties so that they are suitable for every type of preparation. We call this "omni-grind".
The premier class: the fully automatic machine
Special care should be taken when preparing coffee in a fully automatic machine: With your machine, it should be possible to adjust the grind and the amount of coffee used. Otherwise the grind will be too fine and the machine will have problems extracting the powder. You can find all further details on successful preparation here:
