Brewing Guide

Not sure which grind or roast to pick? Here's a quick guide to help you choose.

Choosing a Grind

  • Whole Bean — best if you grind fresh at home right before brewing; keeps flavor and aroma locked in the longest.
  • Coarse — matched to French press and cold brew, where grounds steep for several minutes.
  • Standard (Drip/Medium) — built for drip machines, pour-over, and most auto-brew coffee makers.
  • Espresso (Fine) — matched to espresso machines and Moka pots, which need a fine, even grind under pressure.

Understanding Roast Levels

  • Light Roast — brighter acidity, more of the bean's original character comes through.
  • Medium Roast — balanced sweetness and body; the most versatile everyday cup.
  • Dark Roast — bolder, heavier body with deeper, roasted notes; a common choice for espresso.

A Few General Tips

  • Store coffee in an airtight container, away from light, heat, and moisture.
  • Whole bean stays fresher longer than pre-ground — grind just before you brew if you can.
  • Use filtered water where possible; water makes up most of your cup.
