Roast Level

Light roasts preserve the bean’s original flavors and acidity, making them ideal for pour-over or drip. Medium roasts balance acidity and body, while dark roasts bring bold flavors—great for espresso or French press.

Origin and Variety

Beans from different regions have unique taste profiles. Ethiopian coffees often have fruity notes, while Colombian beans are known for their balance. Experiment to find what you like best.

Processing Method

Washed, natural, or honey-processed beans each have distinct flavors. Washed tends to be clean and bright; natural is fruity and sweet; honey is a balance of both.

Selecting the right beans is a personal journey. Remember, once you've found your ideal beans, visit our Coffee Calculator to achieve the perfect coffee-to-water ratio every time. Happy brewing!
