Medium to dark roast, after the 2nd.
Good for Espresso & a cup of funky filter.

Light Fruity body
Sweeter orange acidity
Strong citrus orange Aroma

Operation Cherry Red is an initiative which ensures proper picking, packaging & pay for producers. For instance, we receive the coffee in 20kg vacuum packed bags instead of the traditional airy 60kg jute bags.

The most classic & refined coffee from Ethiopia.
High grown and tripple picked with a light & fruity acidity.

Light to Medium roast : Ideal for filter. I wasn’t recommending Yirg on espresso before, but OCR proves different – nice and sweet but still lite.

Single Variety: Red Bourbon
Ripe sweetness & a complex bright acidity.
Jammy juicy & bold mouthfeel.
Flavours of bergamot, black tea & marmalade.

From a few thousand small scale producers. Hand picked, washed & sun dried.

Roasted to a definite brown – this sounds obvious & aloof but it just struck me like it should be defined as THE color brown. Still, before the 2nd crack.

Likewise the crema it produces is very dark.

A deadly espresso but totally killer filter.
One of the best filters I’ve had – full flavours, as above, & lingering

Semi Washed. 1410-1600M

Typical Red Bourbon sweetness, gorgeous as espresso with medium acidity. Very forward on the palate revealing caramel & buttery notes. Slightly mellow & fruity along the sides.

Medium roasted. Works great as filter – this enhances many flavours but in particular there is a noticeably lingering aftertaste.

Aged and Dry Processed.
Rich and full bodied
Very Low Acidty
Slow & lush syrup mouthfeel

Notes of Earth, wood, chocolate, some vanilla
Aftertaste: Lingering pleasant tar-ish residual
Fragrance: Wet earth& Musk

Generally this coffee is great for giving body to a blend. If you like your sweet red wines then you would love this as an espresso or with milk. Sweet & full bodied in filter – no bitterness but not a refined cup either due to the absence of acidity. Very popular entry level espresso.

Our premium house five-bean blend.

100% Arabica – two varieties contributing towards a deep woody and chocolate body. A further chosen for refined orange acidity and sweet lift. And two semi washed Brazilians and to provide backbone stability to crema.

With the emphasis on body, sweetness and a complex yet sweet & fruity acidity, this blend is tailored for the the modern Irish pallet. As an espresso or short black, aficionados will find these many layers within the shot – this is not an Italian styled espresso : see our Red Rock for that. For the milk based flat’s, latt’s and cap’s the sweet complexities of smooth fruit completely compliment early morning soft warm milk.

Best in espresso, good for filter as well.

A traditional North Italian medium roast, espresso blend – our most popular café blend.

We were very proud to see this blend used by the world-reknown Italian espresso machine manufactuer “GAGGIA” on their stall during the Wolrd Barista Championships held at Caffe Culture in London’s Olympia, June 2010.

A three bean blend, built with two Arabicas and only the very best Robusta there is: from India’s Sethuraman Estate voted 3 years in a row by American Coffee Guru, Kenneth Davids. The Sethuraman Robusta is processed in the pulped natural sytle, leaving it with a brilliant deep red, rich crema. Not to be shunned purely because of the Robusta – this is a traditional Italian blend by design and the Robusta plays a essential part in giving the overall coffee much substance and kick. The other 2 Arabicas are completely different, both high grown, one for a deep, thick & fruity body and the other contributing a refined and bright acidity tending toward oranges and grapefruit.

Perfect tradtional espresso blend.

Lose the caffeine? Sure! ..but you won’t miss out on body, flavour & acidity too! Swiss water decaf’ is the chemical free process for decaffeinating coffee – a very attractive alternative to the dichloromethane and ethyl acetate process of decaffeinating coffee – for obvious reasons :)

This device is most popular among home speciality coffee enthusiasts as it delivers an exceptionally smooth cup – importantly the Aeropress gives a broader reflection of why a speciality coffee might be that extra bit special – an essential tool if you are going to be exploring the depths of any of our speciality coffees and wanting to experience the finer points of what our coffees are really about.

Update August 2011: Slightly change to the design with a cool smokey blue in the plastic instead of being clear.
