What you get in the sampler
The Fresh Roasted Six Pack Sampler - Organic Single-Origin Medium Roasts contains six packs of organic* medium roasts from around the world. Each pack holds 2.5 ounces of whole bean coffee, roasted to a balanced level — not too dark, not too light. The sampler includes Organic Papua New Guinea, Organic Bali Blue Moon, Organic Colombian, Organic Sumatra, Organic Ethiopian Yirgacheffe, and Organic Mexican.
Because each origin has its own character, brewing them well starts with understanding a few basics about whole bean preparation and what happens right after roasting.

How to brew each pack
Because all six packs are whole bean, you will need a grinder. Grind only what you plan to brew for the freshest cup. A medium grind works well for most pour-over, drip, or French press methods. Adjust slightly finer for pour-over if you prefer a brighter cup, or slightly coarser for French press to avoid over-extraction.
Use about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per 6 ounces of water, then adjust to your taste. Water temperature matters: just off the boil (around 200°F) is a good starting point for medium roasts. Steep or pour according to your brewer’s instructions.
- Grind fresh: Grind only the amount you need for each brew. Whole bean coffee stays fresh longer than pre-ground.
- Choose your brew method: A medium roast like these works well with pour-over, drip, French press, or AeroPress. Each method highlights different aspects of the bean.
- Adjust for origin: Ethiopian Yirgacheffe may taste brighter with a slightly finer grind; Sumatra may be fuller with a coarser grind. Experiment with one variable at a time.
What to know about degassing
Coffee degasses for several days after roasting, and this process varies by the type of coffee and by roast. If your sampler contains bags that are "puffed up" in appearance, it means that the coffee beans were packaged and sealed soon after roasting and continued the degassing process within the bag. This is normal and does not affect quality.
For best flavor, let the coffee rest a few days after the roast date before brewing. The medium roast level in this sampler means degassing is generally moderate, so you can enjoy the coffee soon after receiving it.
Storing your sampler
Keep the unopened packs in a cool, dark place. Once opened, transfer any unused beans to an airtight container and use within a couple of weeks. Because each pack is only 2.5 ounces, you will likely finish it quickly — which is ideal for freshness.
The sampler is available in whole bean only (as of the current information). If you prefer a specific grind, you will need to grind the beans yourself.
