Why Our Beans?
What Makes Our Beans Special?
High-Altitude Grown
Our beans are grown at elevations above 2,000 feet in Puerto Rico's mountainous regions, where cooler temperatures and rich volcanic soil create ideal conditions for developing complex, vibrant flavors.
Hand-Selected Quality
Every bean is carefully selected for size, density, and quality. We work directly with Puerto Rican farmers who share our commitment to excellence, ensuring only the finest beans make it into your bag.
Freshly Roasted
When we order our beans, they're roasted fresh specifically for us. This ensures you're getting coffee at peak freshness, not beans that have been sitting on a shelf for months. Fresh roasting means maximum flavor in every cup.

Our Grinding & Brewing Guide
How To Brew the Perfect Cup at Home
Grinding
For the freshest, most flavorful coffee, we recommend buying whole beans and grinding just before brewing. Below is our suggested grinding guide:
Coarse Grind
Why This Size: Coarse grinds need longer brew times (4-12 hours for cold brew, 4 minutes for French press). The larger particles prevent over-extraction and bitterness during extended steeping.
Texture: Distinct, chunky particles that feel gritty between your fingers.
Visual Description: Like sea salt or coarse breadcrumbs—you can clearly see individual chunks
Best For: French Press, Cold Brew, Percolator
Medium Grind
Why This Size: Medium grind is the most versatile. It allows proper extraction in 3-5 minutes, making it perfect for most home brewing methods. This is what most people should use.
Texture: Even, gritty texture that flows easily but isn’t powdery.
Visual Description: Like regular sand or granulated sugar, similar to what you’d find in pre-ground grocery store coffee
Best For: Drip Coffee Makers (most common), Pour-Over (Chemex, Hario V60), Aeropress (with 2-3 minute brew), Siphon Brewers
Fine Grind
Why This Size: Fine grinds expose more surface area for quick extraction (20-30 seconds for espresso). The small particles create the pressure needed for espresso and prevent water from flowing through too quickly.
Texture: Smooth, powdery feel with a slight grit, similar to flour but slightly coarser.
Visual Description: Like table salt or very fine sand, noticeably powdery but still grainy.
Best For:Espresso Machines, Moka Pot (Stovetop Espresso Maker), Aeropress (with 1 minute brew)

So How Are We Sustainable?
