Is Single Origin Co. a restaurant, coffee franchise or food delivery service?
No. Single Origin Co. is an editorial media blog and brew-lab on Queen Street West in Toronto. We publish specialty coffee brewing method reviews, ratio guides, and sensory documentation for professional and enthusiast audiences. We do not serve meals, operate a franchise chain, deliver food or beverages, or function as a retail café open to walk-in drink service. If you are looking for dining or takeaway coffee, our studio is not that destination — though we welcome roasters and trainers by appointment for editorial sessions.
What brewing methods do you review?
Our 2026 index covers six methods: Hario V60 pour-over, AeroPress inverted immersion, French press full immersion, single origin espresso dial-in, Chemex thick-filter pour-over, and refrigerated cold brew concentrate. Each review includes dose, yield, timing, TDS readings, and sensory notes from blind panel scoring. Additional methods may be commissioned through our editorial services programme.
Do you sell roasted coffee or brewing equipment?
We do not sell roasted beans, green coffee, brewing devices, or branded merchandise. Reference samples are used strictly inside our brew-lab for editorial trials. Equipment mentioned in reviews is documented for reproducibility — not as affiliate or retail promotion.
Can I visit the Queen West studio?
Yes, by appointment Monday through Friday between 09:00 and 17:00 Eastern Time. Our address is 883 Queen Street West, Unit 204, Toronto, ON M6J 1G3. Contact [email protected] or call +1 (416) 555-5273 to schedule a method review discussion or editorial collaboration session. Walk-in beverage service is not available.
How are extraction measurements taken?
We use calibrated refractometers for TDS, gravimetric scales for dose and yield, and temperature-stable kettles logged at each session. Water is prepared to 150 ppm TDS unless a review explicitly tests variance. Extraction yield is calculated from TDS, beverage mass, and coffee dose using standard specialty coffee formulae. All equipment receives periodic calibration checks documented in review appendices.
How do I request a method review or brew ratio consultation?
Use the contact form at singleoriginco.life/contact.php and select "Method review enquiry" or "Brew ratio question." Include your organisation, roast details if applicable, and intended use (training, menu launch, internal QC). We respond within two business days during studio hours.
How often is content updated?
Method reviews display a last-reviewed date; the 2026 index was audited on 26 June 2026. Major revisions — such as grinder calibration changes or new reference roast seasons — trigger changelog bulletins to subscribers. Minor typo corrections may occur without bulletin notification.
Can I cite your brew guides in training materials?
Yes, with attribution to Single Origin Co. and a link to the relevant review page where distributed digitally. Commercial republication of full ratio cards or diagrams requires written permission via editorial collaboration enquiry. We appreciate — but do not require — notification when guides are referenced in workshop settings.
