Grind:

Imagine waking up to the gentle warmth of the sun peeking through your curtains. You brew your new favourite coffee roast and it helps start your day with intention and good vibes. La Sonrisa means smile in Spanish and that is the essence of this roast. La Sonrisa is like a warm hug in a cup, it puts a smile on your face. 

Our La Sonrisa blend is slowly roasted by hand to a medium-dark profile. This creates an expertly balanced, predominantly sweet flavour with a clean aftertaste.  We choose the best beans to curate the warm and inviting cup that is characteristic of our LaSonrisa roast. The flavour profile is smooth with a caramel sweetness and a hint of toasted nuts. 

This roast is lovely for a slow drip method for a sweet, mellow and comforting cup of coffee. La Sonrisa can also be brewed as an espresso. Brewing with an espresso method elevates the acidity creating a citric and vibrant shot.

      Whole Bean Grind Chart

      If you are purchasing a bag of whole bean coffee on our website, you can select your grind method of choice (at no extra charge!) from the dropdown and we will grind and ship it to you. We grind the beans freshly for you at our warehouse in ECS Coffee Burlington right before your order is shipped, and reseal the package to maintain optimal freshness in transit.

      If you are visiting us in store, you can also request for your beans to be ground in store before you take them home.

      We use a commercial BUNN Burr Grinder to grind the beans.

      Please note: Freshly ground coffee is non-refundable and not returnable. To ensure that you receive a ground coffee that is consistent with your brew method of choice, refer to our Grind Chart below! 

      FINE

      For use with espresso machines. Fine coffee grinds will have the size and feel of sand.

      MEDIUM FINE

      Choose a medium fine grind if you are brewing with a Moka Pot, stovetop espresso brewers or an Aeropress.

      MEDIUM

      Cone Filter - We use two medium settings depending on your brewer. The Cone Filter medium setting is a bit finer, and is suitable for pour-over drip brewers (cone style) such as Hario, Melitta, Clever. It is also used for cone style automatic brewers.

      Flat Bottom Filter - This setting is suitable for coffee machines with a flat bottom basket filter, such as commercial automatic drip machines. It is also an appropriate setting for if you have a refillable coffee capsule for use in Keurig® machines. Medium coffee grinds will be around the same size as sea salt.

      PERCOLATOR

      If you are brewing with a percolator, the grind setting is a bit coarser than your standard medium grind, to minimize grinds making it through the filter. We use a percolator-specific setting on our grinder.

      MEDIUM COARSE

       Vaccuum brewers, Chemex. 

      COARSE

      For french press, cold brew coffee. A coarse grind is very chunky in look, like crushed peppercorns.

      Remember that this coffee grind chart is a guideline! If you use a coffee brewing method that is not listed here, feel free to reach out and we will let you know which grind is the best for your brewer.

      A little pricey but worth it. Smooth and flavourful. We’ll be back for more.
