THE ART OF BREWING

Josef Bischofs is director of the Maastricht Academy of Architecture, architect of Blanche Dael's coffee roastery and Blanche Dael's porcelain designer.

The Cafè Ristretto is his signature coffee. As an architect, Josef is used to paying attention to every little detail. So, also at making coffee. Making a perfect cup of coffee sounds simple, but it is not. The coffee beans of Blanche Dael are carefully selected, roasted in a controlled way and delivered freshly. However, all of these qualifications does not fully guarantee a perfect Ristretto in the end.

It all starts with the mill. It is very important to know exactly how many grams coffee are ground and how fine this grind is. The art of brewing, tasting and judging. Only with the correct parameters you will make the perfect cup of coffee.
