The Art of Coffee | Pierre Hermé Paris

The Art of Pierre Hermé Paris Coffee

When Pierre Hermé became interested in the art of coffee, he had only one desire: to discover all its facets, to sublimate its taste to express its quintessence. The bean, precious, becomes the thread of new sensations, new emotions, new creations. Using the notes of each coffee to create a new score, Pierre Hermé, a goldsmith of taste, shapes the aromas, reinvents the textures, giving the coffee a unique aura.

Far from being a full-bodied beverage swallowed without thinking, coffee becomes an exceptional ingredient, asserting its identity, revealing its character sometimes gently, sometimes forcefully. In order to magnify the different nuances of coffee, Pierre Hermé Paris selects with the utmost rigor exceptional vintages while respecting the producers, along with the know-how of the roasters and baristas.

TRACEABILITY AND PERFECTION
All Pierre Hermé Paris coffees come from certified plantations. The coffee cherries are hand-picked when ripe, in different regions of the world, in order to take advantage of the best of their aromas. The beans are then roasted to bring out their full nuances.

OUR SPECIALTY COFFEE
Specialty coffee is a superior quality coffee whose beans have scored above 80/100 in tasting tests conducted by experts from the international Specialty Coffee Association of America.

COFFEE WITH THE PASTRY SKILL REQUIREMENT
As with all ingredients dear to the pastry chef, coffee, after being chosen with the greatest care, must be worked with precision: size of the grind, precise dosage, quality of the water used, temperature of infusion and extraction.

OUR ROASTER
In 2013, after meeting with the founder of the Arbre à café, Pierre Hermé, then in the midst of thinking about the taste of coffee, decided to change the perception of the bean. The coffee, perfectly roasted to sublimate its nuances, became an essential savoir-faire within Pierre Hermé Paris.

THE BARISTA SKILLS
In order to meet the highest standards, it is the baristi who are entrusted with the responsibility of preparing the coffees. Like pastry chefs, they work to the very last bean to grind the coffee to the perfect granulometry, weighing, dosing, and extracting the coffee according to the rules of the art, choosing even the water used to magnify each nuance of this drink.

THE PIERRE HERMÉ COFFEE EXPERIENCE
Pierre Hermé selects each origin for its aromatic notes and imagines his own blends. The exceptional varieties are carefully selected from the coffee plant to the harvest, when they are ripe, and then the time comes to roast them. Coffee becomes an infinite source of inspiration for drinks and pastries.

THE PERFECT MATCH
To make the experience unforgettable, Pierre Hermé also imagines unique places offering a singular journey where the coffee, magnified, natural or in the form of cleverly thought-out recipes, is boldly combined with the pastry creations, imagined with gourmandise.

Carefully selected varieties of exceptional quality, a world of nuances, plants, fruits, size, maturity, roasting and preparation: more than just a simple drink, coffee is transformed into an intense and infinitely sensory experience.
