The things people ask

Beans from Colombia, Brazil and Guatemala, roasted medium. In the cup: caramel and milk chocolate first, a little cardamom behind them, and a soft, creamy finish. Strength 3 of 5.

No. It is a medium roast: darker than most filter-style specialty coffee, lighter than a traditional Italian espresso roast. It drinks clean black and holds its flavour in milk.

Yes. The caramel and milk-chocolate notes carry through oat, almond and soy without turning sour, which is the usual problem with lighter roasts.

No. Roasted coffee beans only. Nothing added, no flavouring. It is naturally plant-based and gluten-free.

Keep it sealed in its bag, away from heat and light, and it is at its best for about a month after opening. Whole beans keep longer than ground. Don’t refrigerate it. There is more on this on the Our coffee page.

Whole beans if you have a grinder of any kind: coffee loses most of its aroma within a day of grinding. Ground if you don’t. Our ground option is a medium grind that suits a plunger, filter cone, batch brewer or stovetop.

Not well. Espresso needs a much finer grind than plunger or filter coffee, and it needs to be ground just before brewing. For espresso, order whole beans and grind at the machine.

There are step-by-step brew guides for espresso, plunger, AeroPress and filter, with doses, grind sizes, temperatures and times for this blend.

A 250 g bag makes about 12 to 14 espressos, or 8 plungers at 30 g each. A 1 kg bag makes about 50 espressos or 33 plungers.
