Which brewing methods work best with these whole beans?

Grizzly Claw is versatile and performs well across common manual and automatic methods. The beans are recommended for medium‑fine grinds, but whole‑bean users can tailor the grind to their equipment for optimal extraction.

• French Press: coarse grind for a bold, full extraction
• Drip & Pour‑Over: medium to medium‑fine grind for clarity and balance
• Cold Brew: coarse grind with extended steeping for smoothness
• Espresso: darker roasts can be pulled in concentrated shots with adjusted grind and dose

How should I store and grind these whole beans?

To preserve aroma and flavor, keep beans in a cool, dark place in an airtight container and grind just before brewing. Whole‑bean storage reduces staling; if you open a 10 oz bag frequently, plan to use it within a few weeks for peak character.

• Storage: airtight container, away from heat and sunlight
• Grinding: grind on demand for best freshness
• Portioning: buy whole beans and dose as needed for single‑day brews
• Use window: best within 2–4 weeks of opening for optimal flavor

Who is this for: Grizzly Claw is aimed at coffee lovers who favor a powerful dark roast with clear chocolate and nutty accents, environmentally conscious buyers who want organic and Fairtrade certification, and home brewers who enjoy dialing grind size for French press, drip, pour‑over or cold brew. The 10 oz whole‑bean pack is a good fit for individuals or small households who prefer frequent grinding for fresh, bold cups.
