There are moments in life when you do not have the perfect brewing equipment at hand. That is the ideal time for a drip coffee or steeped coffee bags. I had the pleasure to taste four different coffees from STITCH COFFEE, two drip coffee bags: one Ethiopian single origin, and one blend (Higgs Filed). Furthermore, I got two steeped coffee bags: a Black Filed Blend as a “normal” black coffee, and the same Black Field Blend as a mocha with cacao nibs and husks.
You just needed a mug, hot water, and a vessel to pour the hot water. That’s it. For the drip coffee bags, you just added 200 ml of hot water (95 degrees Celsius). The two steeped coffee bags had two different recipes: for the black coffee, you add 230 ml, submerge the bag and agitate for 15 seconds. Agitating is important! After 5 minutes your coffee is ready. For the mocha stepped bag, you use a little less water, 180 ml instead of 230 ml.
That’s it again. Brew specialty anywhere at anyway without expensive state-of-the-art is possible. You also do not need to be a barista, no skills are required, no knowledge about grinding, such as particle size distribution, or flowrate. Simply brew great coffee.
All coffees were very distinct: the Ethiopian single origin (Buki, natural) was slightly floral with notes of blueberries, red berries and milk chocolate in the aftertaste. You could clearly taste the origin country, the processing method. That was nice. The Higgs Field blend had a more traditional profile with chocolate notes. I added a dash of almond milk. That gave it a creamy, smooth texture. The coffee, although a filter brew, still cut well through the dash of oat milk, and it was a very tasty morning brew. Perfect in case you do not have all the brewing equipment at hand. The mocha was a huge, positive surprise: you could clearly smell the cacao nibs aroma and in the cup it tasted delicious, like the cacao nibs I received from Marysabel Caballeros for my WBC preparation in 2017. Great memories. I also added a dash of milk… and went to heaven! Soooooooooo good.

Read moreThis place is serious about coffee. Alot of the reviews about coffee places in Sydney is more about the food. I've even read reviews on Google about espresso bars and coffee shops not having good food and being voted down. That's so silly and unfair. Inversely, subpar coffee shops are being highly rated just because they have great bagels or whatever. Anyway you'll be happy that this place is an actual coffee specialist. They've got multiple blends and single origins, either milk based, batch brew, long black, or pour overs. Limited edition beans and 3 styles of cold brew: nitro, geisha and yuzu tonic. Need I comment more? I didn't eat here but they look like they have good pastries. They were happy enough to let me sample some coffee and I walked away with a...
Read moreIt was quite an unexpected that we bumped into this coffee shop while walking around the city. The design and decor were nice and modern and gave an inviting vibe for us to come and check it out. All the staff was friendly and knowledgeable and coffee and they also took care of us really well. The iced mocha was a nice balance between chocolatey and coffee flavours. While the pour over was made correctly so that my friend told me it was nice and flavourful. After finishing the coffees, we ordered a soft serve which is made from their house blend. Unfortunately I didn’t like it as much because it lacks the coffee flavours and tastes very sweet and icy but not smooth. At the end, we got gifts to take home which was the drip...
