Recipe for great coffee

1. Use cold, filtered water and a clean machine.
2. Grind beans just before brewing:
   • Coarse for coffee press
   • Medium for automatic drip
3. Measure 2 tbsp (10 g) ground coffee for every 6 fl oz (180 ml) water.

To help preserve that fresh flavor, keep this bag sealed tight in a cabinet (not in the refrigerator) and brew within a week of opening.

Each coffee requires slightly different amounts of time and temperature during the roasting process to create a cup at its peak of aroma, acidity, body and flavor. We classify our coffees in three roast profiles so you can easily find your desired flavor and intensity.

• Blonde: Blonde-roasted coffees have a shorter roast time, lighter body and mellow flavors.
• Medium: Medium-roasted coffees are balanced with smooth and rich flavors.
• Dark: Dark-roasted coffees feature a fuller body and robust, bold flavors.

We’re committed to ethically sourcing and roasting the highest-quality arabica coffee in the world. When we buy coffee this way, it fosters a better future for farmers, and a more stable climate for the planet. It also helps create a long-term supply of the high-quality beans we’ve been carefully blending, roasting and packing fresh for more than 40 years.
