Coarse ground Kenya coffee built for the French press and cold brew. These beans come from Othaya in Kenya's Nyeri County, grown at 1,700–1,890 meters and roasted medium-light. It's a bright, lively cup: orange and lemon up front, floral aromatics and an almost sparkling finish. Steep it overnight and wake up to cold brew worth a saga.

FAQ
- Is coarse ground Kenya coffee good for cold brew? Yes. Cold brewing tames the bright acidity, leaving a smooth, citrusy glass.
- 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? Bright acidity with orange, lemon and floral notes and a lively, effervescent 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.
