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.

Fondo Paez – Café Naftewesh Located in the remote, highland regions of Cauca, the Paez (who also call themselves Nasa, or “the people”) is the largest indigenous group in Colombia. Fondo Paez was founded in 1992, with the primary goal of recuperating traditional agricultural knowledge and indigenous culture which had been buried by centuries of conflict and oppression. The main cash crop of this region is still coffee. Therefore, to ensure a stable income for their members, Fondo Paez proposed a cooperative of community based coffee farmer associations. By 2000, they were sufficiently self-organized to be selling coffee through the Coffee Federation’s Specialty Coffee program. Today they are active members of the fair trade community and process, market, and export their coffee via the regional plant at ExpoCosurca, but maintain full independence in their internal decision-making process. Available in a variety of grind options.

House Warming gift

My friend loved the coffee. They’ve been to Columbia and prefer your coffee to what they had in Columbia. Paul

Columbia Medium Roast

Love this coffee! Not bitter, very smooth, a just perfect blend. So glad I found it! Michelle

Wonderful taste!

I look forward to my morning cup(s) before I even get out of bed. So worth the effort to plan ahead when ordering. I started doubling my order so that I wouldn't run out again. Thank you for this Columbian blend! Anita

Absolutely wonderful! Smooth, well balanced coffee. Michelle

A Perfect Morning Coffee

If you like to start your day with a great cup of coffee then this is your coffee! It's mild - not bitter, but has just the right amount of umph to get your day started. Feels great supporting a small farmer too! Tom
