CHOOSING YOU GRIND

Grinding your coffee beans is a very important step in making good coffee. The type of brewer you are using and you own taste dictate the best grind for your beans. Although we have the capability to grind at many levels, it usually comes down to 3.

Coarse: French Press
Medium: Electric perk or Auto Drip
Fine: Gold Mesh Filter (auto drip) or Espresso.

If you have a grinder at home then only grind what you are going to use. We always recommend only buying beans that you will use in the next 5 to 7 days to ensure their freshness.

Ethiopian Harrar OCFCU Certified Organic Full City Roast Ethiopian Harrar is grown between 5,000 and 6,000 feet in the dry highlands surrounding the ancient city of Harrar (we use the ancient spelling of Harar, but "Harrar" is also used). Coffee grows wild here, as it did when first discovered in Ethiopia. During the tenth century, coffee was considered food. Small, family farmers harvest and process the beans naturally, without the use of water, allowing the cherries to ferment right on the beans.  Ethiopian Harrar can have a strong dry edge, winy to fruit-like acidity, rich aroma, and heavy body. In the best Harrars one can observe an intense aroma of blueberries or blackberries. Some years are more tea-like and some are more earthy and heavy. 1/2 Pound $8.00 Whole Bean Course Grind Medium Grind Fine Grind 1 Pound $16.00 Whole Bean Course Grind Medium Grind Fine Grind 5 Pounds $75.00 Whole Bean Course Grind Medium Grind Fine Grind
