Groundwork Round Midnight Whole Bean Coffee — 10 oz Dark Roast, USDA Organic, Bold Chocolate & Nutty Notes

Groundwork's Round Midnight is a USDA Organic dark-roast whole bean coffee crafted for rich, intense flavor in a 10-ounce bag.

Groundwork Coffee Co's Round Midnight blends organic, responsibly sourced beans into a deep, full-bodied dark roast designed for whole-bean brewing at home. The 10 oz package preserves freshness for those who prefer grinding beans immediately before brewing, and the USDA Organic label confirms the beans were grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. Ideal for drip machines, French press, espresso, or manual pour-over when you want a bold cup with approachable balance.

What flavor profile should I expect from Round Midnight?

This roast emphasizes bold, roasty notes with a smooth finish rather than sharp acidity. You’ll notice cocoa, toasted nuts, and low-fruit sweetness layered beneath a smoky, caramelized background—typical of a dark roast that still preserves origin character.

• Primary tasting notes: dark chocolate and toasted nut
• Mild sweetness from caramelized sugars
• Low acidity and a lingering, clean finish

How should I brew these whole beans for the best results?

Grind to match your brewing method right before brewing to capture volatile oils and aroma. Use slightly higher dosage or a finer grind for a robust cup, and adjust extraction time to avoid over-extraction and excessive bitterness.

• French press: coarse grind, 4–5 minutes steep
• Drip/pourover: medium grind, 1:15–1:18 ratio favored
• Espresso: fine grind, adjust dose and tamp for crema

What does the USDA Organic label and Groundwork sourcing mean?

USDA Organic certifies the coffee was cultivated without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or GMOs, and inspected by accredited certifiers. Groundwork also emphasizes responsible sourcing practices and supports options like fair trade and locally-minded relationships with producers.

• Certified USDA Organic beans
