How to Brew the Den Blend Like a Pro

Morning rituals, when thoughtfully designed, offer a potent psychological boost by regulating stress, enhancing mood, and improving focus. When we choose activities that resonate with us, they bring us joy... like making a really good cup of coffee.

There’s nothing like waking up on game day and brewing the perfect cup of coffee to kick things off. The Lions’ Den Blend by Ferris Coffee isn’t just any dark roast—it’s bold, rich, and crafted to fuel diehard Detroit fans. Whether you're brewing for yourself or preparing a full pot for your tailgate crew, we’ll show you how to bring out the best in every bean.

Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, increasing alertness and focus, while the routine provides a sense of stability and control, potentially reducing stress. By stimulating the release of dopamine, caffeine can contribute to a sense of well-being and motivation, making it easier to tackle the day's tasks, like cheering the Lions onto a victory.

Start with our freshly ground Den Blend Dark Roast coffee. Because we know you love convenience, the pre-ground coffee is ready to go. Use filtered water heated to around 200°F, and measure about 1-2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water—more if you like it stronger like Coach.

Different Brewing Techniques

Each brew method offers a different experience. The French press gives you a full-bodied cup that highlights the roast’s smoky, chocolatey notes. A drip machine delivers a smooth, no-fuss brew ideal for busy mornings or game-day multitasking. And if you really want to impress? Try a pour-over for precision and clarity.

No matter your method, the Den Blend will deliver big, bold flavor worthy of the Honolulu Blue jersey you're sporting. Explore our brew guides online and shop Lions' Den Blend now to gear up for the next game day.
