Who can resist chocolate? The combination of chocolate and coffee is wonderful, as you know. Now you can have it all in one cup! Even though there's no sugar or calories in this coffee, the chocolate taste is full and delicious because we add chocolate flavor to this coffee.
This coffee is a delicious seasonal blend of Central and South American beans with a medium roast to bring out the complex notes that enhance the chocolate flavor.
The coffees we use for this product is not certified organic, although they come from co-ops and producers who grow using organic methods - they did not certify these beans. The flavor we add is also not certified organic, but fans of this offering have been enjoying it this way for over a decade.

Coffee to Water Ratio
Using the correct amount of coffee will ensure that your coffee is brewed to strength, without over-extracting or under-extracting the coffee to compensate for an inappropriate dose. We recommend 2 grams of coffee for every fluid ounce of water used to brew. Weighing coffee is the most accurate way to measure the appropriate dose. If a scale is not available, we recommend 2 heaping tablespoons of ground coffee for every 5 ounces of water used to brew.
Grind Size
Producing the correct particle size in ground coffee is one of the most important steps in coffee brewing. In general, a finer grind will produce a more intense brew and a coarser grind will produce a less intense brew. At the same time, a grind that is too fine will produce an over-extracted, astringent brew, and a grind that is too coarse will produce a weak, under-extracted brew lacking flavor. In pour-over methods, grind size also affects the rate of extraction, as water will pass more slowly through a finer grind, and more quickly through a coarser grind. We strongly recommend burr grinders over blade grinders.
Water Temperature and Quality
Water temperature dramatically affects the extraction of coffee’s flavor during brewing. We recommend brewing with water at 200-202° Fahrenheit for best results. Using fresh, clean, chlorine-free water is essential.

"Usually not a fan of flavored coffee but Thanksgiving is the exception. This one is rich and true to taste. Originally was thinking about a great dessert, turns out it's a good morning cup as well."
