Grumpy Mule Colombia Planadas Organic (Whole Coffee Beans) with notes of Caramel and Red Fruits 500g

Brought down from Planadas in Tolima, deep in the Cordilla central mountain ranges of the Andes, this kick-ass coffee delivers a sweet, smooth, and moreish cup that helps build brighter local futures. Expect vibrant notes of caramel and red fruits that take center stage, reflecting the unique character of its Colombian origin. La Planadas has had its share of rough patches, but here’s the bright side – this specialty-grade coffee has been a game-changer. It has funded the construction of a testing lab that helps check and boost quality, putting more cash in the pockets of producers. Simple as that. Roasted in Meltham, Yorkshire, Grumpy Mule coffee is all about stubborn attention to detail. With Roast 4, a medium-dark roast, this coffee strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and depth.

Ingredients 100% Arabica Whole Coffee Beans Directions Grumpy Mule coffees are suitable for use in a wide range of brewing equipment. For Espresso machines, finely grind your beans or choose espresso grind for best results. Use 2 heaped dessertspoonfuls (those big ones your mum only had out for special occasions) of fresh, ground coffee per cup. If you want to be a nerd about it that's 15g per 250ml of water. Espresso heads, a good double dose for our coffee is 14-18g per double shot with an extraction time of about 27 seconds. Just don't count mississipily (watch friends, it'll make sense). Allow heated water to come off the boil (about 93-95°C) before pouring. It's just enough time to tweet a pic of the pack at a jaunty angle. Serve the coffee immediately once brewed. Safety Warning Store in a cool, dark place, away from heat and moisture. Follow brewing instructions for best results.
