"I purchased two bags of Brazil Santos Brisa, but unfortunately, the coffee had a very strong green, vegetal flavour rather than the chocolate, caramel, and nutty notes described. I contacted the roaster to understand whether this was the intended flavour or an issue with the roast. They suggested some brewing adjustments, but the green, vegetal flavour remained very noticeable. Unfortunately, I couldn’t enjoy the coffee and ended up throwing both bags away. Really disappointing, as I was looking forward to trying it."

Coffee questions
Questions, answered
The things people ask us most.
What does it taste like?
Smooth and balanced, with milk chocolate, caramel, hazelnut, and brown sugar. Low acidity and easy sweetness make it very approachable.
Which brew methods suit it best?
Espresso, drip machine, French press, and moka pot. It works well as a dependable daily coffee.
Does it work well in bean-to-cup machines?
Yes. It is smooth, sweet, and forgiving, so it dials in easily on automatic machines for consistent everyday coffee.
What is the difference between the medium and dark roasts?
Medium is soft and rounded, leaning on hazelnut, cocoa, and praline with a clean finish. Dark develops deeper sweetness and a fuller mouthfeel, moving toward bittersweet chocolate, roasted peanut, and caramel.
Which roast should I choose?
Choose medium for a clean, comforting cup, or dark for a bolder, richer espresso that still stays smooth.
Is this a good coffee for beginners?
Yes. It is smooth, sweet, and low in acidity, one of the easiest coffees to enjoy whether or not you are new to specialty coffee.
How should I grind my coffee for my brew method?
Pick your grind above, or choose whole bean and grind at home. As a guide: fine for espresso, medium for pour over and drip, and coarse for French press.
How fresh is the coffee when it arrives?
We roast weekly in small batches in Ottawa, and your order ships within 3 business days of being placed, so your coffee reaches you soon after its roast for peak flavour.
Should I choose whole bean or ground?
Every coffee is available as whole bean or ground to your brew method. Whole bean stays fresher longer; ground is ready to brew right away.
How should I store my coffee to keep it fresh?
Keep it in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Avoid the fridge, and use it within a few weeks of opening for the best flavour.
Can I subscribe and save?
Yes. Choose Subscribe above to save up to 10% and get coffee on your schedule. Skip or cancel anytime.
