OLDE BROOKLYN COFFEE Whole Bean Classic Dark Roast (2 lb) — Bold, Smooth Chocolate Notes & Intense Aroma

OLDE BROOKLYN COFFEE Whole Bean Classic Dark Roast (2lb) is a bold, smooth dark-roasted coffee crafted in small NYC batches to deliver an intense aroma and chocolatey finish.

This two-pound bag of whole beans is made for people who grind at home and want consistent, full-bodied coffee without bitter overtones. Each batch is roasted in Brooklyn, packaged in airtight bags with one-way valves, and designed to preserve the roasted character until you open the bag. Because these are whole beans, you control grind size and extraction method — from coarse for French press to fine for espresso — allowing you to dial in flavor and strength to suit your routine.

What flavor profile can I expect from this dark roast?

This Classic Dark Roast leans toward rich, chocolate-forward notes with a rounded, smooth body and low acidity. The roast emphasizes depth and aroma, producing a satisfying finish that stays clean rather than burnt. It’s crafted to highlight dark-roast characteristics without overwhelming bitterness.

• Primary notes: dark chocolate and cocoa
• Body: full and smooth, medium-to-heavy mouthfeel
• Acidity: low, with a clean finish
• Aroma: intense, roasted and toasty

How should I brew these whole beans for best results?

Grind size and brewing method shape the final cup: coarser for immersion methods like French press, medium for drip, and fine for espresso. Use freshly ground beans within 15–30 minutes of grinding when possible for peak aroma. Start with a typical coffee-to-water ratio (1:15–1:17 by weight) and adjust to preference.

• French press: coarse grind, steep 4–5 minutes
• Pour-over/drip: medium grind, consistent pour for even extraction
• Espresso: fine grind, 18–20 grams yield ~36–40 grams espresso
• Tip: store unopened bag cool and dry; reseal after opening

How fresh are the beans and what packaging keeps them fresh?

These beans are roasted weekly in small lots at the Brooklyn roastery to maintain a lively, developed flavor. After roasting they’re cooled and put into air-tight bags fitted with one-way valves that let CO2 escape without letting oxygen in. That preserves the roast profile until you open the bag; after opening, use within 2–4 weeks for best flavor.

• Roasted in small batches at a Brooklyn facility
• Packed in airtight, one-way valve bags
• Best enjoyed within weeks of opening; keep in cool, dark place
• Whole beans retain flavor longer than pre-ground coffee
