Fast Forward
Nutty, sweet, creamy, three plain words for a plain-spoken coffee. A washed Guatemalan blend, medium roast, organic and kosher. Nothing on the list is trying to surprise you. That's the right call for a weekday pot.
Pick it if sweet and creamy sound good to you; organic matters to you.
Best for Weekday drip drinkers who want organic and easygoing

Nutty, chocolate, cocoa, nougat: it reads like a candy bar. Volcanica sells this Brazilian blend as an espresso roast, roasted medium rather than dark. If you like your shots sweet and nutty, the notes point your way.
Pick it if chocolate, cocoa and nougat sound good to you.
Best for Home espresso drinkers who like chocolate and nuts
