Why This Coffee Tastes This Way
Colombia Supremo 17/18 is the broad, everyday Colombian option in the 1718 range rather than a named micro-lot. The published cup profile combines cocoa, caramel, dark chocolate and dried fruit with a full, smooth body and balanced acidity. “17/18” refers to screen size, which is a physical sorting specification.
Recommended Brewing
-
Espresso: A natural first choice for the cocoa, caramel and fuller-body direction.
-
Flat White / Latte: The chocolate and caramel profile is designed to remain familiar in milk-based drinks.
-
French Press: Useful when you want to emphasize body and darker flavor notes.
-
Drip / V60: A cleaner option when you want the caramel and dried-fruit side with less weight.
1718 Brewing Tip: If you use the same bag for espresso and V60, choose whole beans so you can adjust the grind instead of forcing one ground setting across both methods.
