Blend Recipes

• Not quite your cup?

• Love the cup but want to change it up?

• Just love to experiment?

• Other reasons?

Blend them. (No blender required.)

Maybe one origin is almost right but you want more body, more brightness or a little more sweetness. Blending lets you combine origins, or the same origin at different roast levels, into a cup that’s yours. A small shift in ratio or roast can change the cup a lot, so there’s always another version to try.

How to use these recipes

Percentages are by weight of roasted coffee, so a kitchen scale makes it easy. For a 100 g batch, 50% is 50 g. Mix the whole beans, then grind what you need for each brew. Flavor notes are what we typically taste. Your grind, dose, water and brewer will shape your cup.

Blue Tex

Built for espresso, and great in a latte. Measured for a 20 g double shot.

Brazil: 50%, Medium (Full City Roast), 10 g

Peru: 40%, Light/Medium (City+ Roast), 8 g

Colombia: 10%, Light/Medium (City+ Roast), 2 g

Typical notes: lemon bitters, ripe blueberry and a smoky finish.
