Classic Roast Medium Coffee Beans
What it is
This is a bag of whole coffee beans, roasted to a medium level. The roasting process develops the coffee's flavor and aroma. Medium roast beans are known for a balanced taste profile, often with notes that are neither too light nor too dark. They represent a popular choice for many coffee drinkers seeking a familiar and satisfying cup.
How people cook with it
These beans are intended for brewing your favorite coffee beverages at home. They can be ground to suit various brewing methods.
- Morning coffee brew
- Iced coffee base
- Espresso shots
- French press coffee
To enjoy, grind the beans just before brewing. The fineness of the grind will depend on your chosen brewing method. For drip coffee makers, a medium grind is typically recommended. For espresso, a finer grind is necessary. For a French press, a coarser grind works best. Always use fresh, cold water for optimal flavor extraction. Experiment with the amount of coffee grounds to water ratio to achieve your preferred strength and taste.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining beans in an airtight container. Keep the container in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid storing coffee beans in the refrigerator or freezer, as this can affect their flavor and aroma over time.
