Frequently Asked Questions
Our Six Bean Blend is specifically formulated for espresso extraction. The Indonesian robusta ensures exceptional crema formation, while the carefully balanced arabica beans from five different origins create a complex flavor profile that shines in concentrated form. The dark roast level is optimized for the high pressure and short extraction time of espresso brewing.
Thanks to the Indonesian robusta component, this blend contains approximately 20-30% more caffeine than pure arabica blends. While exact amounts vary, you can expect around 150-180mg of caffeine per double shot of espresso, compared to 120-140mg from typical arabica-only blends.
For espresso, use a fine grind that feels slightly coarser than powdered sugar. The grind should allow for a 25-30 second extraction time with proper resistance. If your shots pull too fast, grind finer; if they're too slow or bitter, grind slightly coarser.
Store your Six Bean Espresso in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Avoid the refrigerator or freezer, as condensation can damage the beans. For best flavor, use within 2-4 weeks of the roast date and grind just before brewing.
Absolutely! While optimized for espresso, this blend works excellently in moka pots, French press, and even pour-over methods. The robust flavor profile and higher caffeine content make it versatile for any brewing method where you want a bold, full-bodied cup.
Arabica beans offer complex flavors and pleasant acidity but have lower caffeine content. Robusta beans provide more caffeine, better crema formation, and a stronger, more bitter taste. Our blend uses primarily arabica for flavor complexity, enhanced with robusta for crema and caffeine boost.
