Read about Grind Types

We have recently adjusted our grind options. With that in mind, we wanted to offer this primer so that you can choose the best grind-style for your preferred brewing method.

Whole Bean-- While we are happy to grind your beans, your coffee will stay fresher longer if you grind it as you go. There are many great home grinder options out there and many are surprisingly inexpensive.

Drip-- This is a medium grind that is the most versatile. Brewing methods using drip include home coffee drip machines, pour-overs (like Hario), Chemex, and AeroPress.

Espresso-- This grind is generally used for espresso makers. This includes home machines and stove-tip espresso pots. The grind is the most fine and is optimized to work with a high pressure extraction system.

Coarse-- Coarse is for percolators, french press, cold brewing, and sometimes AeroPress. Coarse is the biggest/loosest grind and enables water to move more freely steeping coffee for extraction.

All of the above, while generally true in the industry, also should be adjusted for preference. Feel free to experiment and please contact us if you have questions and we will be happy to work with you.

Product Overview

Fondo Paez – Café Naftewesh: Grown in the remote highland regions of Cauca, Colombia, this organic, fair trade coffee is produced by the Paez (also known as the Nasa, or “the people”), the largest indigenous group in the country. Founded in 1992, Fondo Paez set out to revive traditional agricultural knowledge and preserve indigenous culture that had been buried by centuries of conflict and oppression. Coffee remains the region’s main cash crop, and to ensure a stable income for their members, Fondo Paez formed a cooperative of community-based coffee farmer associations. By 2000, they were organized enough to sell directly through the Coffee Federation’s Specialty Coffee program. Today, they are proud members of the fair trade coffee community, producing shade-grown, specialty-grade Arabica beans. They process, market, and export their coffee via the regional plant at ExpoCosurca while maintaining full independence in their internal decision-making process. Available in a variety of grind options.

    Perfectly smooth

    Posted by Melinda Smith on Jul 12th 2025

    I have subscribed the Columbia Roast for more than a year now. It is a favorite for me and my spouse. I panic if I run out. We grind our own beans and even take our coffee when we travel because it is so good. I am a native Georgian and do my best to support local. This coffee is far superior to anything you can buy at that store with the green logo.

    We first had this coffee on a trip to Georgia. We absolutely love the smooth flavor and now order it to be shipped to us in Oklahoma.

    This coffee is outstanding! A rich and delicious bean, roasted to perfection, is one of my two top favorites from Café Campesino.

    BEST COFFEE

    Posted by Mary on Aug 14th 2024

    We went to a coffee shop in North Carolina that served this coffee. It's the best coffee we've tasted in years. Not bitter at all. We've been ordering it since. We order the whole bean, several bags at a time. Very good coffee.

    I tried this, and the Original Espresso Blend Medium Roast Coffee and I like the espresso blend more because it has a more balanced taste.

    GREAT COFFEE

    Posted by Mary on Nov 27th 2023

    We were on vacation in North Carolina when we came across a coffee shop 'The Cardinal". The coffee was the best if ever had. I got the man off the company and I'm on my second order. I bought 12lbs this time taking advantage of the 25% discount coupon. Truly a great coffee. I order the medium roast.

    So Good

    Posted by Shelby on Nov 10th 2021

    Always love the quality from Cafe Campesino. It's hard to find a roast that isn't too dark nowadays.
