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.

Starbucks Willow Blend™

We've gently coaxed the sparkling flavors out of this blend of Latin American and East African beans with a unique lighter roasting style. Starbucks® Blonde Roast was developed by our master roasters especially for those beans whose delicate flavors reach their pinnacle at a shorter roast time. The bright, crisp flavor and subtle complexity shine through beautifully to create a breezy, deliciously easy-to-drink cup.
