This is the blendBlendCoffees from multiple origins roasted or mixed together for a consistent, balanced profile year-round — the traditional backbone of espresso menus. that lives on the same street as that bakery in Little Italy. Like New York tri-color cookies with rich chocolate, but it went to the motherland. It's a trip to the Amalfi Coast or at least the idea of it. Tiramisu and amaretto, like a dessert after a long dinner of pasta and clams. All with that old moon above the Mediterranean sea. Tutto va bene, bellissimo Patrick THE DETAILS Regions: Colombia, Rwanda, Zambia Varietal: BourbonBourbonOne of the two foundational arabica varieties (with Typica), named after Île Bourbon (Réunion). Sweet, balanced, caramel-leaning; parent of countless modern cultivars., CastilloCastilloColombia's leaf-rust-resistant variety, bred by Cenicafé from Caturra and Timor hybrid. Long dismissed by purists, it now wins competitions when grown and processed well., Catimor 129 Process: NaturalNatural processThe whole cherry is dried with the fruit still on the seed.

BREWING RECOMMENDATIONS Brewing coffee shouldn't be difficult, so let's keep it simple. On an auto drip or pour over, a good brewing ratio to start with is 1:16 (aka, the golden ratio ) of coffee to water. For example, when making one 9-10oz mug of brew, 20 grams of coffee with 320 grams of water should do the trick. Fine tune the brew to your desired taste by incrementally adjusting the measurements. Have a home espresso bar setup? At our cafe we typically aim for a 30g double shot (or up to 35g with light roasts) using 20g of ground coffee and extract between 28-32 seconds. Voilà ! Whether you want to extract espresso, polish your brew on a chemex, enjoy the richness through a French press, or simply brew on drip -- Make it yours!
