Grind guide

Whole Bean

Whole bean coffee is unprocessed and unground, preserving peak freshness and flavor until ground to the desired consistency for various brewing methods.

Espresso

Espresso grind is a fine, powdery grind with a texture like granulated sugar, crafted to create high-pressure extraction, resulting in a rich, concentrated shot with bold flavor and velvety crema.

Aeropress

Aeropress grind is a medium-fine to fine grind, similar to table salt or slightly finer, allowing for versatile brewing times and methods, resulting in a clean, rich, and full-flavored cup.

Cone Filter or V60

Cone filter grind is a medium-fine grind with a consistency similar to table salt, designed to optimize water flow and extraction in cone-shaped coffee makers, enhancing clarity and balanced flavor.

Flat Filter or Cold Brew

Flat filter grind is a medium grind with a consistency like sea salt, ideal for flat-bottom drip brewers, promoting even extraction and producing a balanced, smooth cup of coffee.

Chemex or Kalita

Chemex grind is a medium-coarse grind, similar to coarse sand, designed to ensure a slower extraction and clean, bright cup with pronounced clarity and delicate flavors.

French Press or Clever

THE ORIGIN & PRODUCER

This Black Orange Honey Costa Rica comes from Marvin Barrantes’ Finca Reina Elizabeth, a small 8-hectare farm in West Valley, Costa Rica. Named after Marvin’s mother, nicknamed “Reina Elizabeth” for her striking blue eyes and kindness, the farm specializes in single-variety lots, including Milenio, the star of this coffee. Marvin’s meticulous approach, from selective handpicking to on-site milling, ensures exceptional quality. His micro-mill, established in 2012, allows full control over processing, revealing the farm’s distinct microclimate and environment.

THE PROCESS & FLAVOR

This coffee undergoes an intricate black honey process, where all of the sweet mucilage surrounding the bean is carefully preserved. The coated beans then dry slowly for 12 days on African beds under careful supervision, allowing the natural sugars to ferment and develop the coffee's signature fruit-forward character. Once dried, the coffee rests in parchment for two months, further developing its complexity. The result is a vibrant cup with juicy cherry, floral bergamot, and crisp Gala apple notes, balanced by a silky medium body and bright, sparkling acidity. This exceptional process, combined with the unique Milenio variety, creates a coffee that truly represents the innovation and quality of Costa Rica's micro-mill revolution.

How fresh is your coffee?

Our coffee is roasted fresh to order and ships within 24 hours to ensure peak flavor. For optimal taste, we recommend brewing between 4 and 21 days after the roast date—this allows the coffee to degas and fully develop. After that window, it will still taste great for several weeks (or more), especially if stored in a cool, airtight container.
