BEACH WEEKEND BREW GUIDE
brew it how you love it
Morning ritual or afternoon reset, slow and quiet or quick and on-the-go—there’s no wrong way to brew a Beach Weekend.
Coffee’s been fueling movement for centuries—from early morning rituals in Ethiopia to midday café breaks in Havana. And while the methods have evolved, the reason stays the same: a good cup brings you back to yourself, then gets you going.
Whether you're steeping slow or brewing on the fly, here’s how different brew styles came to be—and why they still work for the way we move now.
Drip Brewer
Rooted in reliability. The automatic drip machine took off in 1970s America, replacing percolators with something smoother, simpler, and more hands-off. It became the gold standard for home brewers—and for good reason.
Why we love it: It’s the easiest way to fuel the whole crew. Flip a switch, get great coffee, and get moving.
French Press
Classic and full-bodied. The French Press originated in Italy in the 1920s, and became a go-to across Europe for those who wanted a strong, immersive brew without the flash.
Why we love it: It gives you a rich, textured cup with almost no equipment. It’s the kind of coffee you sip slowly on a quiet morning, dockside or on your porch.
pour over
Precision meets pause. Pour over brewing is rooted in Japanese and European coffee cultures, especially popularized in the third wave coffee movement. It’s for those who like their coffee bright, clean, and mindful.
Why we love it: It turns your coffee ritual into a moment. Slow pour, steady hand, and a cup that lets every note of the bean shine through.
Aeropress
Invented by an engineer, loved by travelers. The Aeropress was created in 2005 by the same guy who made the Aerobie flying disc. It’s become a cult favorite for its speed, flavor, and zero-fuss design.
Why we love it: It’s small, quick, and surprisingly smooth—perfect for van life, boat mornings, or hotel counters. Take it anywhere, brew it your way.
Cold Brew
Old technique, new cool. Cold brew has roots as far back as 17th century Kyoto, but it's made a comeback for good reason: it’s bold, smooth, and ready when you are.
Why we love it: Prep it the night before, and you’ve got an ice-cold, mellow kick waiting for you the next day. No bitterness, no heat, no rush.
espresso
Short, strong, and built for momentum. Born in Italy in the early 1900s, espresso was designed to deliver coffee fast—with flavor that hits hard and stays with you.
Why we love it: It’s the base of nearly every modern café drink, and when done right, it's an art form. We use it to craft everything from our iced lattes to Cuban-style café con leches.
