Origin 20 | Brewing Resolute
Sourced seasonally across the bean belt, Resolute has been developed to create a timeless classic; a blend with consistency and quality at the forefront of each component, curated to produce a well-rounded and brilliant brew.
Resolute
Often found in the hopper at our independent speciality coffee shop partners, and at our own sites, Resolute provides a reassuringly familiar, great-tasting coffee all year round. Our roasters create blend recipes so that when the components change, due to the seasonality of coffee, the tasting profile remains the same. For a regular, well-rounded cup of coffee to start the day, Resolute is a perfect choice for a reliable everyday brew.
Brewing Resolute
We spent some time behind the counter with Barista Trainer for Edinburgh, Fraser Ballantyne, who shared his insights on Resolute with us, plus some recipes that have us looking at this Origin classic in a whole new light.
Oat Flat White
“A flat white is one of the most popular espresso-based drinks, it’s quickly become a modern classic. To make a good flat white, we need to start with a great espresso. This recipe is designed to yield a very punchy espresso that will really cut through the milk and retain the chocolatey, caramel notes that this coffee is renowned for.”
One of our most popular blends, Resolute is a full-bodied, comforting coffee that makes for a classic and consistent cup. Smooth notes of chocolate, caramel, and stone fruit make for easy drinking brewed black, or with milk.

How Fraser Brews Resolute
What you’ll need:
- Espresso machine
- Tamper
- Grinder
- Scales
- 6oz Cup
- Milk Pitcher
- 18g Resolute beans
- 170ml oat milk
Method:
- Remove portafilter from the machine + clean with a towel. Flush.
- Dose 18g of finely ground coffee into the handle
- Distribute the coffee evenly + tamp
- Lock the portafilter into the machine and begin the extraction into your cup
- Stop the shot when it reaches 30g of espresso—aiming to achieve this in 29-31 seconds
- Steam the oat milk in the pitcher to reach 60°C, only adding a small amount of air to keep a light, thin microfoam
- Try your hand at some latte art + serve
“I chose oat milk for this recipe because, in my opinion, it has a cleaner flavour than dairy milk and leaves a sweeter aftertaste."
AeroPress Bypass Flash Brew
What you’ll need:
- 20g of coarsely ground Resolute
- 120g water at 85°C
- 60g ice
Method:
- Add coffee to the inverted AeroPress
- Add all water + stir 10 times
- Attach filter + cap
- Flip onto your cup
- Start timer, and at 1 minute start plunging slowly, until you reach 2 minutes
- Add 60g ice, stir to melt + serve
“This beverage is delicious enjoyed as it is, but also becomes an incredibly versatile ingredient in an array of cocktails or cold coffee drinks. If you substitute hot water instead of ice, to the same ratio, you will get a great hot cup of complex, fruity, and full-bodied coffee.”

“Our favourite way to brew Resolute is espresso. We, and our customers, love the consistency that it provides, it’s the perfect daily driver coffee. I thoroughly enjoy the chocolate notes, however, what I feel is really special about Resolute is that regardless of season/components within the blend, there is always familiarity within the final cup.” Nine Squared
