Story

Triangle Accent

*New Name Note* We wanted a fresh name, but the components are staying exactly the same as always: sweet and easy seasonal, micro municipality lots from Guatemala, Honduras and Colombia.

New Biodegradable packaging on all 12oz bags*

This is our iconic house coffee, the one we've been roasting and loving since the early days. If you are looking for your perfect everyday coffee, you've found it. Only the freshest, in-season coffees purposefully and thoughtfully picked. Classic is a fresh crop blend for those who want complexity, consistency and quality in the cup. The coffees will change with the seasons, but the flavor profile of caramel, chocolate and stone fruit attributes will never waver. This blend will be a thoughtful mixing of our latest Central Americans and South Americans, usually municipality lots.

Prep:

For Use as an Espresso or Filter

Our recommended starting point for espresso extraction is 18 grams in, 42 grams out in 27-30 seconds. For filter, start with a 1:15 ratio coffee to water (filtered, delicious water), 3+ minute brew time, minimal agitation. Adjust to your preference.

Kuma means bear in Japanese. The founder of the company spent time in Japan before moving back to the states and adopting a big shaggy dog that looked like a bear, so they named it Kuma. Years later came the coffee company and they named it after their dog.

Kuma Coffee started as a guy roasting coffee in his garage in Seattle, Washington. A guy with a passion to find coffee that tasted excellent, roast it very carefully, and get that coffee into people's hands. It was not about how shiny the package was, it was about how delicious the coffee inside it tasted.

    Another great Kuma roast. I do a normal grind on this and use it in a couple of Italian stove top pots. Works great with some warm milk and a bit of agave. I get a lot of compliments on this.

    This was a pretty tasty coffee. Inoffensive and easy to drink. I would order this again.
