Our Rough Guide to calibrating the Rhinowares hand grinder




Here is Part 3 of our series of Steampunk Coffee Rough Guides.

In this guide we show you how to calibrate the Rhinowares Ceramic Burr hand grinder for the three most common brew methods - Moka Pot (Stovetop/Bialetti), Aeropress and Cafetiere (French Press).

Check out our earlier Rough Guide (Part 1 & 2) which shows how to assemble and use the grinder.

We hope these guides will help you get the most out of your beans at home!

Free Chocolate for Coffee of the Month Subscribers


We think our pal Ailey Mae's Raw Chocolate goes just perfectly with our coffee so we are giving away a free bar of her Steampunk Chocolate (made with our coffee) to everyone who subscribes to our Subscribe & Save option on our Coffee of the Month before 31st October. We will choose the best, newest or most exciting beans and roast them and send them out to you at the start of November along with the free chocolate.
Subscribe & Save allows you to subscribe to 1, 2, 3 or 4 bags of coffee. Then at the beginning of each month afterwards your card will be deducted automatically and new beans will be sent out. You can amend, suspend or stop your subscription super easily at any time. This way you can be sure of always having fresh and amazing coffee at home. Also, Subscribe & Save also gives you a fantastic discount from the standard price of all of our coffees. Win win all round!

Steampunk Coffee in Budapest

We are so pleased that Bean Busters in Budapest is now serving Steampunk Coffee. They started showcasing our coffees earlier this summer as a guest offering but have now started serving them as their main coffees as they have gone down such a storm with their customers. They are currently serving our newest coffee from Costa Rica Mirian 1 and our Guatemalan Las Terrazas on espresso alongside our Kenyan Thunguri on filter. This week we have also shipped out our very first batch of our latest coffee from El Salvador which will be available on our website soon. In addition to serving our coffees they are available in the shop in retail bags for their customers to enjoy at home.
Lilla is a big fan of our Kiriani Theresa (Kenya) and used it when she competed in the Hungarian Brewer's Cup this summer. She is pictured here on the left, alongside Adam and Dori (another one!!) in front of the shop.
We are particularly pleased to have our coffee served in Bean Busters as they are not only an excellent speciality cafe but we also have many connections with Hungary. Dori (Head Roaster) and Marcsi (Trainee Roaster) both hail from there and Neil (who has worked at Steampunk over the summer for years) is currently 'Our man in Budapest' as he is studying there this year. He is delighted to still be able to get access to his Steampunk fix!
