FAQ

  • Is coarse ground Brazil Santos coffee good for cold brew? Yes. Cold brewing softens the acidity and brings the sweeter, chocolatey side of the cup forward.
  • Why use a coarse grind for French press? Coarse grounds stay behind the mesh filter and extract evenly over a 4-minute steep, so your cup isn't gritty or bitter.
  • What does it taste like? Medium acidity and a smooth body, with mandarin orange, chocolate and a clean finish.
Why it tastes smoother

Try it black first. Bitterness in most coffee comes from beans that are stale, low grade or roasted too dark. We fix all three.

  • Fresh roasted. Roasted in small batches and shipped fresh, not aged for months in a warehouse. Coffee loses its sweetness as it goes stale and turns flat and harsh.
  • Specialty-grade beans. Carefully sourced coffee from named regions and growers, with natural sweetness you can taste.
  • Roasted to the sweet spot. We roast each coffee medium to medium-dark, depending on the bean, which brings out chocolate and caramel instead of burnt, ashy bitterness.
  • The right grind. Ground for your brewer, so it doesn't over-extract, the most common cause of a bitter cup.
How to brew

Drip: 2 tablespoons (about 10 g) of standard grind per 6 oz of water.

Pour over: about 1:15 coffee to water, water at 195 to 205°F, 2 to 4 minutes total.

French press: coarse grind, 1:15 ratio, steep 4 minutes, press slowly.

Cold brew: coarse grind, 1:4 to 1:5 ratio for a concentrate, steep about 12 hours, strain, then dilute to taste.
