What to Expect
This is Brazil doing what Brazil does best: chocolate, nuts, and a smooth, easy-going body. The natural process from Poços de Caldas brings a gentle sweetness without the funk, making it a reliable, approachable cup whether you drink it black or with milk.
The Cup
The body is smooth and medium-weight, with a soft, rounded mouthfeel that carries hazelnut and vanilla through to a milk chocolate finish. Acidity is low and unobtrusive, which keeps the cup mellow and sweet rather than bright. There's no fermented character here despite the natural process—this is clean, straightforward, and comforting. Think of it as the coffee equivalent of a well-made brownie: familiar, satisfying, and hard to dislike.
Who This Is For
If you prefer chocolatey, nutty coffees with low acidity and a forgiving brew window, this will suit you well. It's also a strong choice if you drink milk-based drinks and want something that holds its own without shouting.
If you're chasing bright, fruity, or floral notes, this won't deliver them.
Best for: Drinkers who want a dependable, smooth, chocolate-forward coffee that works across methods and doesn't demand precision.
How to Brew This Coffee
This coffee is forgiving and versatile. Espresso works well here—the lower acidity and chocolate notes suit milk drinks, and it's easy to dial in. French Press emphasises the body and brings out the hazelnut and vanilla character with a fuller, rounder cup. Aeropress offers a middle ground, giving you clarity on the chocolate sweetness while keeping the smooth mouthfeel intact.

Ways to Brew
-
Espresso
Coffees hand-picked for espresso, chosen by analysing each one's roast, body and flavour rather than relying on the roaster's label. These are beans with the sweetness, depth and structure to pull a rich, balanced shot under pressure, from chocolatey blends to fruit-forward single origins. Every coffee here earned its place by how it actually performs in the basket. New to pulling shots? Read our espresso brewing basics.
-
French Press
A collection of coffees matched to full-immersion brewing, where a metal filter lets body and oils come through in full. We've analysed each one for the weight and richness that suit the press, giving you bold, textured, deeply satisfying cups. If you like your coffee full-bodied, these beans are chosen for you. New to it? See our guide to French press brewing.
-
Aeropress
A curated range of coffees suited to the Aeropress, selected on their own merits through our attribute analysis. We look for the clarity and balance this fast, pressure-assisted method rewards, so whether you brew short and concentrated or long and clean, each bean here is chosen to give you a bright, well-defined cup. Want to get the most from yours? See our Aeropress brewing guide.
