FREE SHIPPING ON ALL ORDERS

THE STORY

Daaaaayum! Down in front, Mrs. Parker!

Sterling’s newest addition is She-Fine-uh and got us roasters ecstatic and belting late 90’s pop earworms, so please forgive our amateur karaoke-level vocals as we… ah-1-2-3-4!

She's perfect as she can be

Why should I even bother? A-ah

'Cause she's so high

High above me, she's so lovely–

*record scratch*

We apologize for the nails on the chalk board but we can’t help but praise the new light-roasted Ethiopia Shefina’s delectable notes of papaya and agave, with its limonata brightness, and crisp finish. We’ve been waiting all season long for the return of freshly harvested Ethiopian beans and we are happy to provide the ‘hood with this blissful fruity light-roast brew. So strap in and get ready to be sling-shot around the moon on your first sip of the Shefina… you don’t wanna miss a thing!

BREWING RECOMMENDATIONS 

Brewing coffee shouldn't be difficult, so let's keep it simple.

On an auto drip or pour over, a good brewing ratio to start with is 1:16 (aka, the golden ratio) of coffee to water. For example, when making one 9-10oz mug of brew, 20 grams of coffee with 320 grams of water should do the trick. Fine tune the brew to your desired taste by incrementally adjusting the measurements. 

Have a home espresso bar setup? At our cafe we typically aim for a 30g double shot (or up to 35g with light roasts) using 20g of ground coffee and extract between 28-32 seconds. Voilà!

Whether you want to extract espresso, polish your brew on a chemex, enjoy the richness through a French press, or simply brew on drip -- Make it yours!
