From Jinotega to your door
Nicaragua is the easiest origin to love: sweet, balanced and forgiving at every roast level, from a citrusy light roast to a molasses-dark one.
It's grown in the mountains of Jinotega, much of it under shade trees, then washed and dried. Pick your roast level and we roast it in our Friday batch, after you order.
Brew it
A starting recipe for a medium roast. Lighter levels like hotter water and a finer grind; darker ones, the reverse.

Frequently asked questions
Which roast level should I pick for Nicaragua?
Medium (FL250) is the crowd-pleaser: milk chocolate, caramel and almond. Go Light or Blonde for a brighter, honeyed cup, or Bold for milk drinks.
Is Nicaraguan coffee good for espresso?
Yes. At Medium or Bold it makes a sweet, chocolatey espresso that's easy to dial in.
When will my coffee arrive?
Order by Thursday night and we roast it in our Friday batch and ship it the same day. It usually arrives about 4 days after the roast.
How does Scheduled work?
Pick the roast level, the grind, how many bags and which Friday of the month we roast it. Scheduled saves 10%. We email you before every charge, and you can change, skip or cancel in one click.
Can I change the grind?
Yes, and grinding is free: whole beans, espresso, moka pot, pour-over, drip, french press, cold brew. Whole beans stay fresh longest.
