DISCOVER MORE
Bernardina is one of the most exciting discoveries in specialty coffee over the last several years. First identified by the Pacas family on their farm in 2008, Bernardina is genetically related to both Gesha and Ethiopian Agaro, and has proven itself to be a hardy variety with promising resistance to coffee leaf rust. Named after their farm manager, Ruperto Bernardino Merche, this new variety is still being explored, with trees planted across a range of microclimates and elevation bands to better understand its full potential. That potential is already evident, however, as this coffee won the 2021 El Salvador Cup of Excellence competition.
We first encountered the Bernardina variety while visiting the Pacas farm in early 2020 and knew immediately that we had to have it. We are absolutely thrilled to once again share this unique coffee experience with you.

We offer three different grind sizes on the vast majority of our coffee offerings: drip, espresso, and French press.
- Use drip grind if you plan on making your coffee using a coffee machine, in a pour over brewer, or if you want to try a newer way to make your trusty French press.
- Use espresso grind if you have an espresso machine at home. This grind will be very fine and will over-extract (in other words, taste bitter and chalky) in other methods.
- Use French press grind if you are making a coffee in the more traditional French Press method, or making cold brew, or do very large batches in a Chemex (greater than 60 grams of coffee).

Please visit our brewing page here. Coffee brewing is as much an art as it is a science, and it might take a few tries for you to find a sweet-spot that matches your taste preference. We recommend not getting too lost in the "right" way to brew, but instead focus on what you like and try to educate yourself on some best practices. And then just take it from there!
That said, we offer several how-to's for many popular brewers:

Our blends run from medium-light to dark. You can get a full breakdown of the blends in our Blend Buying Guide.
Core Blends include:
700 is our medium-roast core espresso blend that also tastes great as drip.
Cafe Kaldi has been our house blend since 1994. It contains coffee from Ethiopia that gives it a touch of complexity.
Dancing Goats Blend is a little more developed and gives a bit bolder of a cup.
Highlander Grogg is a fan-favorite flavored coffee.
