Is Big Trouble a dark roast?

It is a medium-dark roast. Expect body and chocolate sweetness rather than the smoky, oily character of a true dark roast.

How should I brew it?

It works in drip machines, pour-over, French press and espresso-style brewing. The medium-dark roast is forgiving, so small grind and dose changes rarely ruin the cup.

Is it whole bean or ground?

It is whole bean, so you need a grinder. Grinding just before brewing keeps more of the aroma and sweetness.

Does it taste bitter?

Most buyers describe a smooth, sweet finish with little bitterness. If it turns bitter, try a coarser grind or cooler water.

How does it compare with Counter Culture's lighter coffees?

It is heavier and sweeter, with far less acidity and fruit. Choose it for a comforting daily cup; choose a light roast for brightness and origin character.

How should I store it?

Keep the beans in an airtight container away from light and heat. Whole bean coffee is best within a few weeks of the roast date.

Our take on the Counter Culture Coffee Big Trouble Blend Whole Bean Coffee

Big Trouble is Counter Culture's medium-dark whole bean blend, built for a sweet, balanced cup with nut, caramel and chocolate notes. It is the roaster's best seller and a forgiving everyday coffee: it works in a drip brewer, pour-over or French press and holds up with milk. Compared with Counter Culture's brighter single-origin and light-roast offerings, it trades acidity and fruit for body and a smooth finish, which is why it suits drinkers who want a dependable, low-surprise cup rather than a showcase roast.
