Lucent is for when there is no time but there are still standards. Freeze-dried 100% Arabica, so more of the aroma survives: a clean, sweet black cup with vanilla and hazelnut in it, from the coffee itself, nothing added.

How to make Lucent
No brewer, no grinder. Three ways to take it, and how well each one suits Lucent.
Hot, black
Our pick
What Lucent is made for. Boiling water only burns off the aroma that freeze-drying kept.
Coffee
About 2 g, one heaped teaspoon, in 150 to 200 ml.
Water
80 to 90 °C, not boiling
Time
Stir for 10 seconds
Iced
Works well
A clean, sweet iced black coffee in a minute.
Coffee
About 2 g, one heaped teaspoon, in 150 to 200 ml.
Method
Paste with a splash of cool water, then cold water and ice
With milk
Works, with a tweak
Fine, but the vanilla and hazelnut get lost under milk. Easy is made for that cup.
No. It is 100% Arabica coffee, freeze-dried. Vanilla and hazelnut are tasting notes of the coffee itself.
How is Lucent different from Easy?
Lucent is freeze-dried and 100% Arabica, made for a black cup. Easy is spray-dried and Arabica-forward, made for milk. The process is why Lucent costs more per gram.
Which jar should I choose?
The 100 g jar is the better value per gram. The 50 g jar is the one to try first.
When is it dispatched?
Every bag carries its roast date. Orders are packed and handed to the courier in the order they arrive; you get a tracking link as soon as it ships.
