How to Choose Ground Coffee?

The easiest way to choose ground coffee is to start with how you plan to brew it and what kind of flavour you are looking for. Below, we explain how KALVE adjusts the grind size and what we offer in espresso, filter, and decaf coffees.

Grind Size by Brewing Method

Grind size affects how quickly and how much flavour is extracted from coffee into the water. KALVE adjusts the grind size according to the selected brewing method, so you only need to choose how you plan to brew the coffee. Espresso machines and moka pots generally require a finer grind because the coffee has a relatively short contact time with water, while coffee brewed directly in a cup or in a French press uses a coarser grind.

In the online shop, each coffee can be ordered for one of five brewing methods: espresso machine, moka pot, in-cup, pour-over, or French press. KALVE then selects the appropriate grind size. At a café, you can also ask a barista to grind any coffee for your preferred brewing method at no extra charge.

Espresso Blends Available as Ground Coffee

Espresso blends are well suited to espresso machines and moka pots. Chocolate Bar combines arabica with a small proportion of robusta, adding intensity, chocolate-like bitterness, and a fuller body. It is the only KALVE coffee that contains robusta. Toffee, Marmalade, and Candy Shop are 100% arabica blends, each with its own combination of origins. Toffee, for example, combines coffees from Brazil and Colombia, and is ground to the same fine grind as Chocolate Bar when ordered for espresso.

Filter and Decaf Coffee as Ground Coffee

For filter brewing, including in-cup and French press, you can choose a lighter-roasted coffee with a softer flavour profile. Breakfast Club is silky and mild, with notes of almond, cocoa, and caramel, while Heirloom is juicier, with notes of stone fruit, lemon, cranberry, and black tea.

KALVE also offers decaf coffee as ground coffee. This Colombian coffee from Risaralda is decaffeinated using the sugarcane process and features notes of brown spices, hazelnut, dark chocolate, and dried stone fruit.

Ground Coffee or Whole Beans?

Ground coffee is a convenient choice if you do not have a grinder at home or if you usually use the same brewing method. Every coffee is also available as whole beans, which can be ground as needed for different brewing methods.

KALVE offers ground coffee across its espresso, filter, and decaf range. Both ground coffee and whole beans are available in 250 g and 1 kg packs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes KALVE ground coffee special?

KALVE grinds coffee only after an order is placed, helping to preserve its aroma and flavour as well as possible. The coffee is roasted at KALVE's own roastery in Latvia. KALVE's coffees are specialty coffees, selected for their quality, flavour, and traceability.

How do I choose ground coffee for my brewing method?

Choose ground coffee based on your brewing method, and KALVE will adjust the grind size accordingly. Espresso machines and moka pots generally use a finer grind, while in-cup, pour-over, and French press brewing use progressively coarser grinds depending on the method.

How do I brew coffee using ground coffee?

The recommended dose varies by brewing method. In KALVE's brewing guides, French press uses 12 g of coffee per 250 g of water, Kalita Wave uses 22 g per 360 g of water, and Aeropress uses 13 g per 180 ml of water. A French press brew takes around eight minutes in total, while the Aeropress recipe takes less than three. For precise recipes, it is best to follow KALVE's brewing guides for each method.

Can I also buy the coffee as whole beans?

Yes. Every ground coffee is also available as whole beans, which can be ground as needed for different brewing methods. Whole beans are particularly useful if you switch between brewing methods from time to time.

Is ground coffee available as a subscription?

Yes. Chocolate Bar, Toffee, Marmalade, and Breakfast Club are available as subscriptions in 250 g and 1 kg packs. Subscription coffee can also be ground for your chosen brewing method at no extra charge.

Is KALVE ground coffee arabica or robusta?

Most of KALVE's range consists of arabica beans, which are known for their diverse flavour profiles and natural sweetness. Robusta is used only in the Chocolate Bar blend, where it adds intensity and body. The other KALVE coffees, including espresso, filter, and decaf coffees, are made entirely from arabica.
