THE STORY
[Transmission from the roaster]
July 2066
40 Years ago in the midst of an all-out war between Man and Machine, a malevolent robotics development corporation created a legion of AI-powered cybernetic combat units to infiltrate the small-roaster businesses as false baristas and social media influencers to trigger an apocalyptic end to all independently owned coffee businesses. Thanks to the roaster’s resistance, the machines failed.
However, in the future, while the growth of small-roasters around the globe has flourished, a threat of more sinister forces of advanced AI tech has returned to terminate roaster-kind once and for all – Judgement Day. Against overwhelming odds, the resistance and Sterling Coffee reforged old alliances and sent into the past a new offensive to eradicate the oncoming conflict – T2: Tak’s Blend.
A reprogrammed coffee blend that was instrumental to the first resistance, Tak’s Blend returns to delight coffee-lovers in the PNW and home brewers across the nation. With a flavor swirl of Demerara and caramelized peach, and embraced by a milk chocolatey sweet body, this newest Roaster’s Choice blend will not stop, ever, without remorse, pity, or fear... until it has hasta la vista’d false coffee for good.
I told you I’ll be back.

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!
