Take it for a spin.
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.

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.

You'll be surprised the difference a clean grinder makes
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.
