The best medium-roast specialty coffees in stock

We currently have 20 medium-roast coffees in our catalog. These selections prioritize clarity and balance, with 14 of the lots processed using the washed method. You will find a heavy representation of Caturra, Bourbon, and Castillo varieties sourced from regions like Huila, Kirinyaga, and the Cerrado. George Howell Coffee leads this group with 10 of the featured lots, joined by roasters like Onibus, Detour, The Barn, and Sightglass. Whether you are brewing the Mamuto AB from Kenya or the Daterra Sundrop from Brazil, these coffees emphasize the inherent character of the bean rather than the roast profile. We have curated these based on our composite scoring to ensure you are looking at the most consistent performers currently available on our shelves.

What to taste for:Look for clean acidity, structured sweetness, and a lingering finish that highlights the specific terroir of the growing region.
