Customer reviews★★★★★定期的に利用してます。エクアドル深煎りは絶品ですよ。これに奮発してグラインダー上位クラス買いましたが正解でした。豆のポテンシャルが発揮されて更にリピ確定です。値上げにもめげず💪
★★★★★ここのコーヒー豆はおいしい。いくつか都内のスペシャルティコーヒーを飲んだけど個人的には1番好き。千葉の水は硬度が高くえぐみが出やすいです。お湯の温度と水の硬度を調整するとすごくおいしい。おいしいコーヒーを飲みたい人は試しましょう。ちなみにわたしが好きなのはイルガチェフ ナチュラルです。ご参考でした。
★★★★★オーガニックで最高に美味しい珈琲豆が購入できます。お勧めです☕
★★★★★オーガニックに力を入れて豆を仕入れられてます。 初めは、コーヒーの淹れ方、機材の購入すらわからなかった状態で伺わせてもらいました。 何もわからなかった僕に親切に教えて頂き、とても助かりました。 ここの豆で作るコーヒーはとても美味しいです。 これからもよろしくお願いします😊

★★★★★20201207 再訪 早々に、2回目の訪問です。 今回は、有給休暇を頂いたので、 このチャンスで、珈琲豆追加購入です。 今回は、前回購入していない種類2種類を購入。 これで、デカフェ以外はコンプリートです。 サンプルで、デカフェも頂きました。 充実のコーヒーライフが過ごせます。 ありがとうございます。 20201203 初訪問 月曜日と木曜日に直売されているとの情報をインスタで拝見して、訪問しました。 焙煎所の付近は、珈琲の香りがしていい匂いです。初めて訪問しましたが、焙煎したての珈琲豆を購入出来て大満足です。 平日のみの販売の為、なかなか伺う事が難しいですが、また伺います。

Achieve the Best Flavor with Chiba Water! Brewing Methods for Home and Decaf Recommendations
Have you ever felt, Why doesn't the coffee I brew at home taste like the coffee shop's? In fact, water is a crucial factor that significantly influences the taste of coffee. Chiba's water, in particular, has a relatively high hardness, which can sometimes lead to a bitter taste in coffee. We offer free, specific advice to help solve such problems.
Furthermore, for those who wish to limit caffeine or enjoy coffee at night, we offer a wide selection of flavorful decaffeinated coffee beans. They are very popular among pregnant individuals, allowing them to enjoy their coffee time with peace of mind.
Advice for Brewing Delicious Coffee
To brew the best coffee at home, consider the following points:
- Water Selection and Temperature
Considering Chiba's water hardness, choosing mineral water is one approach. Adjusting the water temperature according to the bean type and roast level is crucial. We provide specific advice on temperature and extraction time tailored to the water quality you use. - Utilizing Brewing Equipment
The taste varies significantly depending on the brewing method, such as hand drip or French press. Please feel free to consult us on which equipment suits your preferences and how to brew deliciously. We can also guide you to the optimal brewing equipment. - Choosing Fresh Beans
Coffee flavor changes over time after roasting. We sell freshly roasted beans directly, so you can take home beans in their peak condition.
Gentle on Body and Mind: Decaffeinated Coffee
Our decaf coffee boasts a rich flavor and aroma that is surprisingly full-bodied for a caffeine-free option. We carefully decaffeinate selected beans and roast them to preserve their original deliciousness. For pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those sensitive to caffeine, or anyone wishing to relax at night, decaf can open up new ways to enjoy coffee.
Decaf coffee beans are also available at an affordable price, starting from 900 yen for 100g. Please give them a try.
