Brewing Flavored Coffee the Right Way
Our flavored coffees are infused with natural oils during roasting. This method produces complex, aromatic cups without added sugars — but it also means a little extra care when brewing:
Clean equipment regularly. Oils can linger; rinse grinders, presses, or drip machines after each use.
Consider dedicated gear. Many coffee lovers keep a separate grinder or French press for flavored roasts to avoid carryover.
Use filtered water at 195–200°F (90–93°C).
Ratio: 1:15–1:16 (e.g., 20g coffee to 300–320g water).
Grind: Medium, just before brewing.
Methods that work best: Pour-over, drip, or French press. Avoid boiling water or over-extraction, which can mute both the Kona base and the natural flavor infusions.
Storage tip: Keep beans in an airtight container to protect freshness and aromatics. After brewing, rinse equipment thoroughly, especially mesh filters, if you plan to switch back to non-flavored beans.
