Exclusive Blend
Cranberry, Orange, Caramel
$20
Our coffee team carefully selected top lots from Colombia, Costa Rica, and Ethiopia for this blend honoring the athletes participating in the 2023 Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Intelligentsia is proud to partner in the race and provide coffee to runners, volunteers and spectators alike.
Tasting notes of cranberry, orange, and caramel makes for a naturally sweet coffee to be savored at the start of the race with a bright, citrusy finish.
We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the ground coffee. For our blends we recommend either a pour over or a automatic drip home machine. We recommend a grind size 5 or 6 or if you are grinding at home mimic the size of Morton Coarse Kosher Salt.
Recommended Method Automatic Drip
