Coffee Cheat Sheet


Here at Joffrey's coffee is our language.

  But to those who may not know much about coffee or are beginning to learn, the countless types of drinks and brewing methods may be overwhelming. To help navigate the caffeinated waters of coffee, we've put together a coffee cheat sheet with all you need to know.

Brewing Methods:

  • Cold Brew
    • Made by steeping ground coffee in cold water for 14-24 hours. So easy you can make it at home with our step-by-step instructions here!
  • Nitro Cold Brew
    • Made the same way as regular cold brew, but instead of being served over ice it is infused with nitrogen, giving it a creamy and rich flavor. Learn more about the differences in iced coffee/cold brew and nitro cold brew here!
  • Drip
    • The method used at most homes with a regular coffee maker  - hot water drips through ground beans and into a cup or carafe.
  • French Press
    • Made by steeping ground coffee in hot water for 4 minutes - learn how to make it at home with our step-by-step guide here!
  • Pour Over
    • Just like it sounds! Made by hand pouring hot water over a filter filled with ground coffee, which then drips into a mug - learn to make at home here.

    • Diluted espresso - made with 2/3 part hot water and 1/3 part espresso.

  • Flat White
