THERE’S SOMETHING PROWLING

A giant cat with glowing eyes. Razor claws. A serious appetite. We decided to get to know it a little better. Our version starts with a fresh Colombian single-origin, roasted medium to bring out its sweet, caramelly character and balance. In the cup, it’s cozy and comforting with a bright finish, a little more fireside than frightening. Maybe the Yule Cat was never looking for trouble. Maybe it just wanted a warm mug and somewhere to curl up. We can relate. A winter coffee for creatures of all kinds.

Available for a limited time.

THE LEGEND BEHIND THE CUP

We’re Coffee Geeks. We taste a lot of coffee. Sometimes we taste one and immediately know we’re done. That’s what happened here.

This Colombian lot comes from Nariño, where small family farms grow coffee high in the Andes on volcanic slopes between Doña Juana and Galeras volcanoes. Most farms are less than a hectare, so producers work together through associations and cooperatives to create traceable community lots.

Cool nights, high elevations, volcanic soils, and careful washed processing give Nariño coffees their sweet, bright character. Producers are also protecting water sources, restoring forests, diversifying shade, and finding better ways to care for the soil.

And somewhere between those mountain slopes and our Milwaukee roastery, this coffee found its way into the story of a giant winter cat with glowing eyes and razor claws. We like to think the Yule Cat has been prowling toward this cup all along.

OUR APPROACH TO THIS COFFEE

Kelly roasted Yule Cat to a sweet, caramelly medium, bringing out plenty of chocolatey warmth and cookie-like sweetness. Brewed as a V60 pour over, expect milk chocolate, sweet molasses cookie, and a pop of lemon-forward citrus. A drip brewer leans into the creamier side, emphasizing chocolate and cookie sweetness with softer acidity and more muted citrus. Yule Cat is delicious starting on day 3 off roast, with peak flavor around day 14. For the best of its bright, sweet profile, give this V60 recipe a try:

V60 Recipe:

Grind: 15
Coffee In: 24g
Bloom: 70g water for 30 seconds (no agitation)
Total Brew Water: 360g (no agitation)
Final Brew Time: 2:15–2:45

What grind should I choose for my brewing method?

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.

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.
