How do you brew?

Tips for getting the most out of this coffee, by method.

Brewing this coffee

Drip brewing keeps this blend balanced and approachable. French press adds body, while cold brew softens the acidity and brings out a smoother, richer finish.

Recommended for this coffee
DripFrench PressCold Brew
Drip / Pour-over
1:17 ratio (e.g. 30g coffee : 510g water) · Medium grind · 195–205°F water · 3–4 min total brew. Bloom for 30 sec with 2x coffee weight in water before pouring the rest.
French press
1:15 ratio · Coarse grind · 195°F water · Steep 4 minutes · Plunge slow and even. Pour off immediately — leftover grounds in the press over-extract.
Espresso
18g in / 36g out · Fine grind · 25–30 sec extraction · 200°F. Dial in grind first — finer = slower extraction.
Cold brew
1:8 ratio · Coarse grind · Steep at room temperature 12–18 hours · Strain through fine mesh or paper filter. Concentrate — dilute 1:1 with water or milk to serve.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about this coffee.

What does Island Blend taste like?
Complex and bold with a smooth, rounded body and a hint of island warmth. A medium roast with depth and an easygoing character. It is USDA Organic, 100% Arabica, roasted small-batch to order in Oceanside, California.
What roast is Island Blend?
It is a medium roast — balanced, with more body than a light blend but smooth, not bitter.
How much caffeine is in Island Blend?
Typically around 90 to 120 mg per 8 oz brewed cup, like a regular full-caffeine coffee. Caffeine varies naturally with brewing method, serving size, and preparation.
Is Island Blend good for everyday drip coffee?
Yes — it is an easygoing, all-day cup. It is balanced and forgiving in a drip machine or pour-over and plays well with milk. USDA Organic and 100% Arabica.
What is the shelf life of your coffee?
Unopened, in our original bags with the one-way freshness valve, our coffee has a best-by date of 18 months from the roast date. Once opened, plan to use ground coffee within 2-3 weeks and whole bean within 4-8 weeks for peak flavor, though it remains safe to drink well beyond that.
Should I buy whole bean or ground coffee?
Whole bean delivers better freshness and flavor, beans don't start oxidizing until they're ground. If you have a grinder, whole bean is the way to go. If you don't, ground coffee is convenient and stays fresh in the sealed bag for several weeks. We sell both formats for every flavor in this lineup.
