This coffee’s roasted in our filter style — meaning it’s designed to shine as black coffee rather than with milk. That doesn’t mean you have to brew it as a pour-over though. You can make it however you like — espresso, moka pot, AeroPress or anything in between. We simply roast it a little lighter to highlight the bean’s origin flavours giving you a cup that’s clean, vibrant and full of clarity.

Lighter roasting keeps more of the natural acidity and sweetness intact which makes for a beautifully expressive black coffee — and this one happens to play nicely with milk too. Expect a softer balanced cup where the sweetness carries through without turning sharp.

If you prefer your milk coffee with richer caramel, toffee or nutty flavours you might enjoy our espresso range more. Those roasts are taken a little darker to bring out deeper sweetness and balance beautifully with milk.

Origin and Sourcing

Coffee Storage Standard Warehouse Storage

?

This coffee is stored in standard warehousing palletised under ambient conditions. Usually these coffees are in GrainPro bags to keep out moisture and protect beans. Suited for high-volume blends and economical Single Origins, frequent rotation ensures freshness.

Roast Details

Roast Style Filter

?

Filter roasts are lighter with a shorter development time, designed to highlight clarity, acidity, and fruit-driven complexity — perfect for black coffee and filter methods. These roasts can also be used for espresso, especially if you enjoy brighter, more vibrant shots. Try longer brew ratios or turbo shots to tame acidity and bring out sweetness. Espresso roasts, on the other hand, are developed further to encourage deeper caramelization and Maillard reactions, producing richer, chocolatey, and nutty flavours that shine in milk and offer a fuller-bodied espresso. We don't usually roast omni (one roast for all brew methods) — in our experience, it tends to be a compromise that's average at both. But occasionally, for larger lots or versatile blends, we may do an omni roast to suit both black and milk drinkers.

Roast Level Light

?

This is a more accurate reflection of the actual roast level rather than internal & external colour readings and is based off roasting weight loss %. <11% is Nordic ultra-light; 11-13% is Light with balanced acidity and sweetness; 14-16% is Medium for rounded body and caramel; 16-20% is Dark for rich, chocolatey and intensity; 20%+ is Starbucks/Italian for bold, smoky depth. Some would say the higher the %, the 'stronger' the coffee.

Roasting Weight Loss 13.5%

?

Coffee roasting weight loss refers to the significant reduction in the mass of green coffee beans during the roasting process, typically ranging from 9% to 25% depending on the roast level. This phenomenon primarily occurs due to the evaporation of moisture, which constitutes about 9-13% of the bean's initial weight

Internal Agtron: 89

?

This is a more accurate reflection of the actual roast colour than external as its measured after grinding, internal Agtron reveals how far into the bean the roast has penetrated. Our filter roasts often score over 100, preserving acidity, florals, and the unique vibrant characteristics of each origin and process. Please bear in mind that grind courseness can affect the internal colour readings, so it is impossible to compare from roaster to roaster using this colour reading.

External Agtron: 70

?

This refers to the surface colour of the whole roasted bean, but it's not always a reliable indicator of roast level - Some of our most vibrant and lightly roasted coffees like our Ecuadorian Sidra, may appear medium-dark (Agtron 50–60) due to their surface color, yet are in fact light roasts with minimal development time. Surface colour can be affected by the original green colour, bean type, density and moisture - so don't judge a bean by its exterior.

Agtron Spread: 19

?

The Agtron spread is the difference between the colour of whole beans and ground coffee, showing how deeply the coffee is developed. A spread of 0–10 usually are very dark, oily roasts typical of Italian-style which we dont offer at our Roastery. Spreads between 11–20 and 21–30 represent the roast levels you'll find in our espresso coffees, balancing sweetness, acidity, and body. Spreads above 30 make up most of our filter coffee range, featuring very light, bright roasts that highlight fruity, floral, and complex flavours. Within this, spreads from 31–40 offer clarity and vibrancy, while spreads of 40–50 showcase ultra-light roasts with delicate acidity and nuanced character.

Micron Adjustment: 0

?

This shows how the recommended grind size for this coffee differs from our baseline Coastal Blend setting. A negative number means a finer grind is recommended; a positive number means coarser. It helps dial in your grinder without starting from scratch.

Roasted On: Loring S35 Kestrel

?

The Loring S35 Kestrel is a high-capacity, half-bag (up to 35 kg) gas coffee roaster renowned for its integrated afterburner that incinerates smoke inside the machine—eliminating the need for external emissions equipment—while achieving up to 80% fuel savings and reduced CO₂ output. Built in the USA from stainless steel under ISO 9001:2015 standards, it features a stationary drum with rotating paddles to tumble beans in a convection-dominant airflow for even roasting and flavor clarity. Its touchscreen PLC control lets users program and store roast profiles, monitor real-time curves, and automate hopper loading, bean discharge, and cooling operations—complete with water quench and high‑speed cooling tray paddles that finish the roast within minutes. Typical roast cycles range from 10–16 minutes, powered by natural or propane gas, and can accommodate loads as low as 7 kg up to the full 35 kg.

Taste Profile

Tasting Notes: Tastes like Cherry, caramel, Milk Chocolate

Suitable To Go With Milk?: Yes

?

Some of our light roasted filter coffees are bursting with bright, fruity acidity—think citrus, berries, or tropical notes. While these flavours shine on their own, they don't always play well with milk. The acidity can clash with milk's natural sweetness and creaminess, sometimes creating sour or chalky flavours.

Decaffeinated? No

Import into Beanconqueror

Components: Colombia based, blended with a seasonally appropriate Central American coffee, often Peru or Nicaragua.

Legends more lighter, more modern blend. It features two rotating high quality A grade or AA grade coffees. It's clean, sweet and super smashable. The Seasonal Blend is designed to work with any brew method.

As espresso, we'd aim for 21g of coffee, 50-52g of espresso and a 29-33 second extraction. She's as versatile as they come and will work in Stovetop, Plunger, Aeropress and V60.

How does my coffee come packaged?

Despite some of our product images looking very fancy our coffee is packaged into a plain brown paper foiled lined bag with a Swiss WIPF degassing valve. This offers superior oxygen and moisture protection. We recommend once you crack the seal you store your coffee in AirScape containers or Weber Workshop Bean Cellars for a single dosing option.
You can also freeze/vacuum seal in small lots, then use straight away once removed from freezer.

We don't have fancy printed bags with ziplocks (more plastic), we save that cost and buy better quality green beans so you can focus on your cup quality instead of fancy marketing and artwork.
