What flavor profile should I expect from Gran Riserva Filtro?

This blend emphasizes dark-roast depth balanced by subtle sweetness. Cocoa and caramel aromatic notes are noticeable on the nose and in the cup; acidity is low, and the body is medium to full for a satisfying mouthfeel.

• Roast level: dark roast for pronounced roast character
• Body: medium to full, low acidity
• Suitable for: those who enjoy rich, slightly sweet coffees

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

For clarity and sweetness, grind fresh immediately before brewing. Medium-coarse to coarse grind works well for French press; medium grind suits drip machines. Use filtered water heated to about 195–205°F and a coffee-to-water ratio that matches your taste.

• French press: coarse grind, 4 minutes steep, 1:15–1:17 ratio
• Drip coffee maker: medium grind, standard machine settings
• Grind fresh to preserve cocoa and caramel aromas
• Adjust dose to taste for strength and extraction

How long will the 2.2 lb bag stay fresh, and how should I store it?

Whole beans retain peak flavor longer than preground coffee; use them within a few weeks of opening for best aromatics. Store the sealed bag in a cool, dark place away from heat and moisture. If you transfer beans to a container, use an airtight, opaque vessel to reduce oxidation.

• Best freshness: grind within 2–3 weeks after opening
• Storage: airtight, opaque container away from heat
• Keep whole beans until ready to brew to preserve aroma
• Avoid refrigeration or freezing for daily-use beans
