East View Bold Ascent is a Costa Rican dark roast sold as ground coffee in a 5 lb bag. It is the roaster's darkest offering, built for heavy body, developed sweetness and low perceived acidity, with the aim of avoiding a burnt or harshly bitter cup. It suits drinkers who take coffee black or load it with cream and sugar, and the large bag makes it a practical everyday option for heavy households or offices. The trade-off against lighter single-origin Costa Ricans is that origin character is largely replaced by roast flavor, and the farm, cultivar and process are not disclosed.

For a batch or pour-over brew, start with 30 grams of coffee to 500 grams of water. Use a medium grind, water around 195–200°F, and about three to four minutes of contact time. For French press, use 32 grams of coffee to 500 grams of water and steep for four minutes. If the cup tastes smoky or drying, lower the water temperature slightly or grind coarser.
