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

Lyon performs well across common home brewing techniques; grind size and water temperature will tailor the extraction. Use a medium grind for drip or pour-over and a coarser grind for French press to preserve the coffee’s sweet and toasty character.

• Drip/pour-over: medium grind, 195–205°F water, 1:15–1:17 coffee-to-water ratio
• French press: coarse grind, steep 3.5–4 minutes, then plunge for fuller body
• Espresso: fine grind, shorter extraction to keep sweetness without bitterness
• Store sealed and whole until grinding to maintain aroma and flavor

What makes Lyon a good everyday coffee choice?

Its balanced profile and moderate roast make Lyon reliable for daily cups that won’t overpower milk or sweeteners. The smooth, nutty base complements a variety of pairings and is forgiving in different brewing setups, which is ideal for routine use.

• Consistent, mellow flavor suitable for morning and afternoon cups
• Pairs well with dairy, plant milks, and light pastries
• Whole bean format keeps flavors fresh until you grind
• Free from dairy, wheat, and yeast per product details

How should I store and handle this 12 oz bag to keep it fresh?

Keep the beans in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight. Transfer to an airtight container after opening and grind only what you need for each brew to preserve volatile aromas and taste.

• Keep bag sealed; reseal with a clip or move to an opaque, airtight jar
• Grind immediately before brewing to maximize flavor
• Avoid refrigeration or freezer for daily use to prevent moisture pickup
• Use within 2–4 weeks of opening for best tasting results

Who is this for? Lyon suits coffee lovers seeking a gentle, dependable daily bean with clear nutty and toasted notes rather than heavy roast intensity.
