Smooth and rich and easy drinking. That's what we were looking for when creating our newest feature coffee, Easy Rider. A great drip or pour over coffee. Also excellent in an Aeropress or French press.
Give Easy Rider a spin while you can - as with all our feature coffees, it's here just for a short time.
Curse you, internet!
Now that I've discovered the Empty Cup Awards, I’m not just going to be mentally critiquing the choice of coffee drunk on TV (really? she’s drinking that swill?!), I’m going to be watching for empty cups, too!
As you may know, most of our coffees are blends. This time, to switch things up, we have a single origin* coffee made of wonderful beans from Brazil.

Most of us don’t pay attention to this and don’t clean our grinder regularly. Over time, coffee oils and residue build up and can start to affect both the taste and performance of your grinder. Darker and oilier coffee beans are especially bad for gumming up your grinder. (Take note Globetrotter fiends!)
The good news is that cleaning a grinder is quick and easy. Read on for our tips - and we've got you covered, whether your grinder is blade or burr.
Not sure what you’re in the mood for? Are you reading through our coffee selections and thinking “they all sound good!”? Well there is a solution!
We created the Sparkplug Coffee Sampler so you can try them all. It puts together generous 200 g bags (almost 1/2 lb. for you old school peeps) of our 3 signature blends plus the current feature coffee. That’s 800 g of coffee altogether - almost 2 pounds and enough of each to get a good sense of how you like each one.
To celebrate, we're custom building a special blend - Up Shift - just for the Motorcycle Supershow. We'll have samples to try at the show and you'll be able to take a bag home or order some for delivery after the show.

Full Throttle. That seems to be the speed we're running at around year end. So we mixed up a blend of beans to match our mood. Full on, big bold flavours. Spicy and a tad quirky.
The super special flavours of the Full Throttle blend come from exotic Monsooned Malabar beans from India. Then we add in a melange of beans from around the coffee world - including our beloved Ethiopian, of course - to get just the right balance.
If you loved our Hey Honey feature last year with the honey processed beans from Costa Rica, you won't want to miss Full Throttle.
