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.

    Type A Espresso

    Posted by Jonathan Slater on May 9th 2025

    This espresso finally tastes the way I hoped--and I've tried many! Full bodied, flavorful, rich and satisfying--alone, or as the base for Americano.

    Freshly roasted?

    No roasting date on the package. It did not make a very good cup of espresso in my manual machine; I suspect it wasn't terribly fresh. I wish the labelling was more informative.

    Inky, smokey brew

    Posted by Kent on Sep 5th 2017

    Brewed in my little Melita pour-over it tastes like I was just pulled a double shot. What I think of as an Italian-style espresso, mahogany colored and very strong without being bitter, for me it brings back memories of Caffe Trieste in San Francisco. Very satisfying with a touch of cream. Probably will be very good for baking and cooking with too...
