From Sierra Madre to AUS
AUS is named for Austin and colored like Barton Springs on a hot afternoon: a smooth, crowd-pleasing coffee with just enough fruit to keep it interesting.
It's grown in the Sierra Madre of Chiapas, Mexico, by smallholder cooperatives, often under shade trees. A medium roast balances milk chocolate and toasted pecan with a little red fruit.

Frequently asked questions
Is AUS a good everyday coffee?
That's what it's for. It's balanced enough for a drip machine, sweet enough to drink black and solid enough for milk.
How do I make AUS less bitter?
Grind a little coarser or use slightly cooler water, around 195 to 200°F. If it tastes strong rather than bitter, move from 1:15 to 1:16 or 1:17.
How fresh is it?
It's roasted within days and shipped fast. Keep the bag sealed, away from light and heat, and grind just before you brew.
Is it whole bean or ground?
Whole beans only: coffee stays fresh longest when you grind it right before brewing. Our coffee-to-water ratio guide shows the grind for each brewer.
How much is shipping?
US shipping is free on orders of $49 or more, which is any 3 of these bags. Smaller orders ship for a flat $6.95.
