Roasted exclusively for the dark roast lovers. This intense full-bodied coffee has notes of rich dark chocolate, sweet earth and berries.
Lava Roast offers complexity not only in flavor but in its tactile form - a very creamy and buttery mouthfeel. The best way to experience this coffee is by drip brew, or via a hand brew method such as Chemex.

How should I brew my coffee?
The best coffee is coffee that you love. That said, there are basics for making the most of every brew, such as:
• Brewing Water Temperature: 195-205 F
• Clean, filtered Water
• Proper steep time for the grind setting: Coarse Grind = long brew time, Fine Grind = short brew time
• Proper Coffee to Water Ratio: 1 gram of coffee for every 16 ml (or g) of water
• A consistent grind particle size: Use a burr grinder if possible
• Coffee that is not too far off-roast
We love brewing the Kalita and French Press in particular. Get our recipes here!
