Why we like this coffee
This is a great example of an everyday coffee that holds its strength through milk but also touches on sweeter and slighty floral notes.

Description
Costa Rican coffee is a well known producer of specialty coffee due to its rich volcanic soil. It is generally characterized by its bright acidity, smooth body, and complex flavor profile with notes of citrus, berries, and sometimes a subtle hints of floral undertones. It offers a well-balanced cup that is both refreshing and satisfying, making it a popular choice for both espresso milk based drinks and filter coffee.
Costa Rica Single Origin Classic
Most of our coffees are suitable for all brew methods. Some will shine more brewed certain ways but that is ultimatley down to your own personal preference. However you chose to brew your coffee always make sure your using fresh beans, weigh the amount of coffee your using, time your brew and weigh the yield of your coffee.
A guide for home double espresso could be to use 18.5g of coffee, and extract in 25-30 seconds for a yield of 35-40ml.
A guide for home filter coffee could be to use 19g of coffee, brewed in 3-4 minutes with a yield of 250ml of water.
Once you have these or any other starting point you can then experiment and adjust your recipe to acheive the taaste you want. For example, for a slightly strong cup use more coffee or try a lower yield amount.
