Filter Roast

Flavor : Deep and rich notes of sweet tasting yellow nectarine and orange marmalade with a buttery finish.

We love drinking this coffee in any alternative brew application.

A few of our team members are espresso-only enthusiasts and they just adore using this Ethiopian filter style roast as their daily cup (which takes a bit of adjusting to extract on espresso duty).

Lighter roast levels result in the natural fruit elements intensifying.

It's important to expertly develop the bean during the roast without introducing roast notes so that all sourness or grassy notes are eliminated.

Filter coffee is the best way to enjoy the clarity and original characteristics developed by brewing the coffee with a clean extraction of the coffee oils.

Our Filter Roast is prepared on a specialized hand-roasted smaller platform - dedicated to precise filter roasting.

It will deliver a beautiful flavor, having a delicate acid balance without excessive citric or malic astringency.

Guide - For espresso this coffee will take some adjustment to dial in as it's a fully natural grade 1 that has been light roasted. Start coarse as the coffee blooms and swells far more than others which could lead to the shot choking.

Alternative brewers, this coffee is ideal and highly adaptable.
