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.

If the Antigua Valley of Guatemala is the crown of the world's coffee regions, this blend of coffee from four of Antigua's best farms is its most brilliant gem. Developing slowly at altitudes of over 5,000 feet, these dense beans offer a remarkable complexity. Floral aromas, lemony flourishes and deep, dark cocoa notes combine to create a smooth, versatile brew that pairs with the entire meal, from savory herb dishes to rich chocolate desserts. Ideal for espresso, coffee press or automatic brewer.

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.

I absolutely love this coffee and have been addicted to it for the past few years... Even got my girlfriend and good friend hooked on it...
Great flavor.
So when I heard that it had gone out of season, I rushed to get online and buy 6 more pounds before it was gone...
Yes, I recommend this product.

We love this coffee. It has a great rich flavor. The only problem is that its not availbale very long. This year we ordered more so we could have it longer. They need to have it for a month or so, not just a few weeks. And next yeear we will stock pile it while its available. Great coffee. Great taste
Yes, I recommend this product.

Opened the bag this morning and was greeted with a wonderful aroma that increased my anticipation for that first taste.
I was running late and hurriedly poured one from my french press; my 40 minute commute was made tolerable when I tasted this wonderful coffee. On my return trip I kept thinking about my morning cup. I am thoroughly enjoying my second cup as I sit here and write this.
Thanks Starbucks!
Yes, I recommend this product.

I would love this to be available all year. I would really love it to at least be available in my local stores - but it is constantly sold out. What does that tell you?! Starbucks - could you please consider having it around more often? We love it!!!
Yes, I recommend this product.
