THE SCIENCE OF EXTRACTION

Precision Changes Everything.

Great coffee isn't just about the beans. It's about how you brew them.

Our bespoke precision filter brewing process gives us control over the variables that shape extraction, revealing the coffee's full flavour and character.

Temperature

The right brewing temperature shapes what we extract from the coffee.

Water Flow

Controlled water delivery influences how evenly the coffee is extracted.

Extraction

A bespoke brewing profile brings those variables together for consistent results.

FROM COFFEE TO LIQUEUR

It Starts with the Coffee.

Every decision begins with the flavour we want in the finished liqueur. From selecting the coffee to refining the brew, each stage has a purpose.
01

SELECT

Coffee chosen and roasted to our specification for the depth, flavour and character it brings to the finished liqueur.
02

BREW

A bespoke precision filter brewing profile controls temperature, water flow and extraction to develop the coffee's character.
03

REFINE

The brewed coffee is blended with vodka and selected sugars to balance flavour, sweetness and texture in the finished liqueur.

Real brewed coffee. Never an afterthought.

THE EXPERTISE BEHIND THE EXTRACTION

Built by Coffee People.

Norse Code's brewing process is shaped by co-founder Gordon Howell, a champion coffee brewer with decades of experience in extraction, sensory evaluation and coffee innovation.

As a brewing advisor to TONE, Gordon contributed to the testing and development of its brewing controls. That expertise helped shape the bespoke brewing programme behind Norse Code.

THE RESULT

The Difference Is in the Glass.

Precision brewing gives us the coffee character to build around. From there, we create two distinct liqueurs, each with its own balance of flavour, sweetness and texture.
