- Is Port Side Blend a dark roast?
- No. It is a medium roast with medium acidity, a smooth body and nutty nuance. Drinkers who want a dark, smoky cup should look elsewhere.
- Do I need a grinder?
- Yes. It is sold as whole bean, so you need a burr or blade grinder. Grinding just before brewing gives the best flavor.
- Is it gluten-free and kosher?
- Yes. It is labeled gluten-free and Orthodox Union Kosher, and it contains no listed allergens.
- What brewing methods does it suit?
- It works in drip machines, pour-over and French press. It is also formulated for Flavia single-cup brewers.
- How does it compare with Starbucks House Blend?
- Both are medium roasts under the Starbucks umbrella. Port Side is milder and nuttier; House Blend is a bit fuller and more cocoa-leaning.
- How should I store the beans?
- Keep them in an airtight container away from light and heat, and grind just before brewing. Whole bean stays fresher longer than pre-ground.
