How do you brew Inafi?
Inafi is a roasted jasmine rice coffee alternative that should be brewed like coffee using a filter or strainer.
For one 8 oz cup, start with: 1–2 tablespoons of Inafi
Use 1 tablespoon for a lighter cup or closer to 2 tablespoons if you prefer a stronger roasted flavour.
The important part is filtration. Do not simply pour hot water over the grounds in a cup and drink it without straining.
What can you use to brew Inafi?
You do not need a special machine. Inafi works with several familiar coffee-brewing methods.
1. French press
A French press is one of the easiest ways to brew Inafi.
Add 1–2 tablespoons per 8 oz cup, brew as you normally would, then press the plunger down to separate the brewed drink from the roasted rice grounds.
A French press is a good choice if you enjoy a fuller, more robust cup.
2. Drip coffee maker
You can brew Inafi in a regular drip coffee maker using a paper filter.
Simply add the desired amount of Inafi to the filter basket and brew it much like you would ground coffee.
This makes Inafi easy to prepare when brewing several cups at once.

3. Pour-over
A pour-over dripper works especially well when you only want to make one cup.
Place a paper filter in the dripper, add 1–2 tablespoons of Inafi per 8 oz, and brew it using the same basic process you would use for pour-over coffee.
4. Hanging ear drip coffee bag
Hanging drip filter bags are another convenient option, especially when you do not own a coffee maker.
Place the filter bag over your cup, add Inafi, and brew directly through the filter.
They are compact, inexpensive, and useful for making a single serving.

Can I use a reusable K-Cup?
Inafi can also be prepared using a K-Cup setup when a suitable paper filter is used to keep the grounds properly contained.
The goal is the same with every brewing method: allow the water to pass through the roasted rice while keeping the grounds out of the finished drink.
Can I use a moka pot or espresso machine?
No. We do not recommend brewing Inafi in a moka pot or espresso machine.
Inafi is roasted jasmine rice, not ground coffee beans, and it is intended for filtered or strained brewing methods such as:
- French press
- drip coffee maker with a paper filter
- pour-over
- hanging drip filter bag
Stick with these methods for the best brewing experience.
Do I need special equipment to brew Inafi?
No.If you already own a French press, drip coffee maker, or pour-over setup, you can probably brew Inafi with equipment you already have.
For the simplest one-cup setup, a basic pour-over filter or hanging drip bag works very well.
How strong should I make Inafi?
A good starting point is:
1 tablespoon per 8 oz for a lighter cup
2 tablespoons per 8 oz for a stronger cup
Taste preferences vary, so experiment within that range until you find the strength you enjoy most.
Can Inafi be served iced?
Yes. Brew Inafi using one of the filtered methods above, then cool it and serve it over ice.
You can enjoy it black or prepare it with milk or cream depending on how you like your cup.
The easiest way to remember it
Brewing Inafi is simple:
Scoop. Filter. Brew. Enjoy.
Start with 1–2 tablespoons per 8 oz cup, use a filter or strainer, and choose a French press, drip coffee maker, pour-over, or hanging drip bag.
Just remember: skip the moka pot and espresso machine.
Inafi is roasted jasmine rice, brewed like coffee.
