Lightkeepers Blend - Medium Roast

Our Medium Roast selection for the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse is a fair trade and organic version of our most popular medium roast coffee, with a big, bold, sweet and fruity cup of coffee with a long finish. 
Sourced from our producer-partners and small farmer cooperatives in Nicaragua, Guatemala, Peru, and Ethiopia - many of which we have been working with for over two decades. These long-standing relationships allow us to present only the finest sustainable, fair trade and organic coffees.

Point Cabrillo Lighthouse

Brewing Basics

Customer Review

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.
