When selecting Colombian coffee beans, pay attention to the roast level that suits your taste preferences. Whether you prefer a medium roast with balanced flavors or a dark roast with bold intensity, there's a Colombian coffee waiting to captivate your senses.

Once you've chosen the beans that speak to your coffee-loving soul, it's time to move on to the next step: grinding.

Grind to perfection:

Embrace the ritual of grinding your coffee beans just before brewing. Invest in a high-quality coffee grinder to achieve the desired consistency. For Colombian coffee, a medium grind works well for most brewing methods. Aim for a uniform grind size that allows for optimal extraction and flavor.

Measure and proportion:

To ensure consistency and precision, pay attention to the coffee-to-water ratio. As a general guideline, use 1 to 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 6 ounces of water. However, feel free to adjust this ratio based on your personal taste preferences. Remember, precise measurements are key to brewing the perfect cup.

Choose Your Brewing Method:

At Lattenda, we celebrate the artisanal approach to coffee brewing, embracing the rich flavors and traditions of Colombian coffee. Discover the perfect brewing method that aligns with your passion for craft and authenticity:

• French Press: Engage your senses with the rustic charm of the French press.
