What to consider before buying

Roast

Lighter roasts keep origin character. Medium and dark roasts are often easier in milk drinks and everyday drip coffee.

Freshness

Look for a roast date and a bag you will finish within a few weeks of opening.

Brewing method

Espresso, pour-over, and cold brew extract differently. Match the bean to the method you use most.
