What it is
Member's Mark Columbian Coffee is a medium roast coffee made from 100% Arabica beans sourced from Colombia. These beans are known for their balanced flavor profile, often described as having bright acidity and a smooth finish. The medium roast level aims to bring out the natural characteristics of the beans without over-roasting, providing a pleasant aroma and a rich taste that is not too bitter or too mild. It is suitable for everyday enjoyment.
How people cook with it
This coffee is a versatile choice for a morning beverage or an afternoon pick-me-up. It can be brewed using various methods to suit your preference.
- Brewed hot for a morning cup
- Chilled for iced coffee
- Used as a base for coffee drinks
- Enjoyed black or with additions
To brew, measure your desired amount of coffee grounds into your coffee maker. For a standard pot, a common ratio is one to two tablespoons of coffee per six ounces of water. Adjust the amount of coffee and water to achieve your preferred strength. Heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling point. Pour the hot water over the grounds, allowing it to drip through. The brewing time will vary depending on your equipment. Serve immediately for the best flavor.

How to keep the rest
