How to brew Rooibos Espresso using our RCP™ filter basket
Our custom-made RCP™ portafilter basket is specifically designed to achieve the perfect extraction of our Rooibos Espresso. The result is a shot with a thick, rich golden crema and the signature stronger flavour your customers know and love.
✓ Made of stainless steel
✓ 58mm in diameter
✓ If your group head is not 58mm in diameter, we suggest using a standard double filter basket for our Rooibos Espresso and pre-infusing for best results, or try using an AeroPress
Our RCP™ basket has fewer holes than a typical coffee portafilter basket, which helps slow the extraction to produce a rich, bold shot of our Rooibos Espresso more consistently.
Brewing guide:
Step 1: Place the RCP™ basket in your porta handle. Ideally have a dedicated porta handle for our Rooibos Espresso
Step 2: Scoop 14g of our Rooibos Espresso (1 scoop) into the RCP® basket
Step 3: Level. Ensure our Rooibos Espresso is at an even level in the basket. Do not tamp
Step 4: Using your palm, wipe away any excess Rooibos Espresso from the rim of the filter basket
Step 5: Pull a double shot (60ml). Wipe basket with a damp cloth afterwards if necessary
