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

French press grind is a coarse grind, with a texture like breadcrumbs or coarse sea salt, allowing for full immersion brewing and producing a rich, full-bodied cup with minimal sediment.

Forged in Fire

The soul of Dark Dragon was forged in the volcanic highlands of Costa Rica’s Central Valley, where smallholder farmers deliver their finest coffee to the Palmichal Mill. Unlike traditional systems that exploit growers, Palmichal pays fast and fair—securing exceptional quality while empowering the people behind it. Grown at 1,200–1,600 meters, these Caturra and Cataui beans develop a dense, sweet intensity under the tropical sun, then undergo a meticulous washed process to highlight their bold potential.

Fierce As Its Name

We take Dark Dragon beyond dark, transforming its high-altitude strength into a cup of smoldering richness. The roast coaxes out deep smoke and dark chocolate, balanced by a subtle graham cracker sweetness. Despite its power, the mouthfeel remains velvety—proof that even the boldest coffee can have finesse. This is a brew for those who like their coffee untamed, unapologetic, and unforgettable.

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.

Do you offer subscriptions?
