- Is this coffee acidic?
- It is a dark roast, so acidity is low. Most drinkers find it smooth and easy on the stomach compared with light roasts.
- How should I brew it?
- It works in drip, French press and espresso. Use water just off the boil and avoid over-extracting, which brings out ash and bitterness.
- Is it whole bean only?
- Yes, this is whole bean, so you need a grinder. Grind just before brewing for the best flavor.
- Is it certified organic?
- Yes, the beans are certified organic.
- How does it compare with Blue Bottle's lighter roasts?
- It trades fruit and brightness for body and chocolate depth. Choose it if you want a strong, low-acid cup rather than a complex light roast.
- Where is the Blue Bottle Coffee Organic Extra Bold Dark Roast Whole Bean cheapest?
- At Target, for $18.99, as of our latest check.
