COMPETITION COFFEE x MK.STUDIO CERAMICS

INCLUDES | 1 X 6 - 8 OZ CUP + 100g BAG 

In honor of this year's USBC 2023 and our team from Black & White Coffee who competed, we are releasing their competition coffee along side the beautiful ceramics from MK.Studio. Jake McFarland and Anthony both used these ceramics in their competition routines. 

Mk.Studio is Denmark based ceramics studio crafting white porcelain into art. They love to experiment and play. At MK Studio there are truly no guidelines or rules. If it hasn't been done before, they will try to make it. If they think it's awesome, they will do it again. They are truly having fun working with ceramics and want you to have a lot of fun using them too. Each piece is unique and has different patterns and textures.

Brewing Suggestions For Our Coffee At Home

“How should I brew coffee from Black & White?” We get this question a lot, and we love chatting about how folks can get the most out of the coffees we roast. But, since everybody’s gear setup, water sources, and preferences are different, we haven’t found a great way to post definitive brew guides for specific coffees. 

We do have some tips that have seemed to help most folks, though…

First, our coffees do great with a bit of rest. In our cafes, we’ve discovered that things really start to shine at or after 14 days post roast. You certainly don’t have to wait so long, but you’ll notice the cup’s clarity increase over time. Clean, washed coffees tend to need less rest than funkier coffees that feature higher-impact fermentation methods (like naturals, anaerobic naturals, or co-ferments). 

For espresso, we start all of our coffees at a 1:2 ratio with a brew time around 24 seconds. This recipe usually works great for year round coffees and single origin coffees with lower impact fermentations. Funky coffees often get the longer ratio treatment (sometimes up to 1:3), but your preferences may lead you elsewhere. We celebrate that!

For filter style coffee, we tend to like hotter (at or above 205F), faster (at or under 3 minutes) brews. Our roasting philosophy focuses on maximizing sweetness and solubility in all our coffees, so you’re probably safe applying your favorite recipe. 

If you have more questions, feel free to shoot us a DM or email. We’re always here for curiosity. Oh! And don’t forget–if it tastes good, it is good.
