This coffee makes a surprisingly clean French Press and maintains its bright notes even with sugar and cream. Ever tried coffee with a lime wedge? This roast would pair great with any citrus.

What Grind Should I Use?
You can have your Nate’s Coffee order ground to your preferred brewing method before shipping!
- Whole Bean: Whole bean coffee. Ideal if you prefer the freshest coffee experience and use a grinder at home. We recommend using a burr grinder.
- Coarse: A coarse, sea salt like grind. Great for french presses and percolators.
- Drip: A medium grind, consistency of sand. This is the most standard grind. Ideal for most drip coffee makers (like Mr. Coffee) and Clever brewers.
- Pour over: A medium-fine grind, in between drip and espresso grind. Great for pour overs and Chemex.
- Espresso: Little less fine than table salt, great for espresso.
What if I use an Aeropress? Use this as your guide:
- Drip: 3 minute brew time
- Pour over: 2-3 minute brew time
- Espresso: (our preferred method) 1-2 minute brew time
