Your Colombian beans smell incredible in the bag, but the cup keeps tasting thin, sharp, or oddly flat. Sound familiar?
Our Real Colombia medium roast is built around red apple, sweet caramel, and hazelnut notes. When those delicate flavours go missing, it's almost always down to three easily fixed brewing mistakes. The biggest culprit? Scorching the beans with water straight off the boil.
In our latest guide, we've mapped out the simple tweaks to water temperature, grind size, and your blooming routine, so you can pull those caramel and hazelnut notes out of every brew without the guesswork.
If you've been wondering why your Colombian doesn't taste like the label promises, this one's for you ☕
