At Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama, coffee is hand-picked and processed quickly to prevent any unwanted fermentation. Freshly harvested cherries go straight from the field to the wet mill, where ripe cherries are carefully selected and pulped. The pulped coffee is first dried on patios, then finished in mechanical driers to achieve optimal moisture content. Finally, the batches are stored in a humidity-controlled warehouse, protected from unwanted odours to preserve their quality.

The farm’s management places a strong emphasis on social and environmental sustainability. Initiatives include planting native species to maintain ecological balance, providing a school, a club, and a soccer field for workers, offering 47 houses for employees and their families, and treating wastewater to protect groundwater resources.

The coffee from Cachoeira da Grama is the product of meticulous attention at every stage—from seed selection to harvest and processing—reflecting the dedication and care that define the farm’s work.

The Colombia coffee in this blend is from Huila and is a part of a regional select program which was created to highlight unique flavours and designed to further reward farmers for the quality in beans that they produce. This allows us to pick the most premium coffees to deliver to you.

The naturally processed Ethiopia is a fruity and floral, full bodied coffee that originates from the region of Sidama. Farmers in Sidama dedicate themselves to the quality of the coffee process. Good land along with healthy rainfall in Sidama contributes to the full flavor of the cup. The drying process of this Ardi bean is often meticulous. Farmers will dry the coffee on beds for 8-10 days while punctually turning the coffee every 30 minutes to ensure even drying. This attention to detail produces the distinct flavors and aromas.

Produced small holder farms, the Mexico is an clean, easy-drinking, mild cup. Flavors of cocoa with a nutty aftertaste.

Mixed all together the Free Radical is the perfect blend of fruity flavors with hints of chocolate that create a creamy smooth finish.

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.
