Fellow's Take on Lights Out Decaf by Mom ’n’ Em Coffee Roasters

This washed light-roast decaf with a flavor as rich as the family story behind it from Cincinnati-based Mom ‘n’ Em Coffee!

This Caturra coffee is produced by the Bayter family, who transformed their El Vergel farm into a pioneering Colombian specialty coffee producer after a crop disease that devastated their avocado business.

Its silky smooth flavor profile unfolds with bright notes of milk chocolate and orange zest, creating a comforting cup that honors both craft and family tradition.

🔬 Variety: Caturra

⛰️ Elevation: 1,500 MASL

🔥 Roast: Light

Note: Mom ‘n’ Em suggests resting this coffee for 10 days for optimal brewing!

Grind Guidance

Start in the middle of your espresso range on your grinder, and Series 1 will tell you to go finer or coarser after your shot pulls. It is expected that you might need to adjust based on your specific variables (i.e. location, climate, water mineral content, etc.). Small adjustments go a long way!
