Weekly on Fridays

Every coffee we share has been tasted and recommended by our expert Tasting Panel who have years of experience in specialty coffee. We cast a wide net, trying hundreds of coffees, keeping an open mind to new regions, processes, and roasters, and going through many rounds of cupping. If there was an easier way of choosing each coffee, we wouldn't want to do it.

This coffee benefits from a medium grind setting, moderate water temperature, and a rather long ratio; to extract the sweetness and soft mouthfeel.
Below is a recipe we have been enjoying, but of course tastes are subjective, feel free to tweak the variables to suit your preference; for example, condense the ratio if you prefer a thicker tactile; grind finer or raise the temp if you want to extract more flavors.

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!
