VARIETY — MIXED

Bourbon | Tanzania

Bourbon is a classic Arabica variety known for its sweetness and balanced acidity. When grown in Tanzania, it often expresses refined structure with soft fruit tones and a clean finish. In the cup, it contributes round sweetness, gentle acidity, and clarity, supporting a polished and approachable profile.

Mundo Novo | Brazil

Mundo Novo is a natural hybrid of Bourbon and Typica, widely cultivated in Brazil for its productivity and cup stability. It is known for delivering full body, chocolate-forward sweetness, and low acidity, forming a solid foundation in blends designed for richness and consistency.

Lempira | Honduras

Lempira is a Honduran-developed cultivar bred for resilience and reliability. When carefully cultivated and processed, it contributes clean sweetness, mild acidity, and structural balance, enhancing consistency while supporting the blend’s overall depth and drinkability.

---

PROCESS — WASHED

Washed coffees are processed at wet mills where cherries are depulped, fermented briefly, rinsed, and dried. This method removes all fruit material prior to drying, resulting in clarity, balance, and clean sweetness.

---

DRYING — RAISED-BED DRIED

Drying takes place on traditional raised beds, optimizing airflow and ensuring even moisture reduction. This method stabilizes the coffee and preserves aromatics while supporting clean fermentation character.

ROAST LEVEL — MODERATE MEDIUM

Agtron (Gourmet Scale)
Whole Bean: 60–65
Ground: 

Moderate Medium roasting builds caramelization and body while retaining balance and sweetness. This level softens acidity and emphasizes cocoa, molasses, and rounded structure—ideal for espresso-focused preparation.

Measuring Roast

Roast color is measured using an Agtron M Basic III spectrophotometer and reported on the Agtron Gourmet scale. Readings are calibrated hourly to ensure consistency. Each value represents a single roast unless otherwise noted.

Roast Development

Our roast categories describe development, not darkness. Development is managed through precise control of time and temperature, allowing sweetness and structure to build without introducing harsh bitterness. Roast supports the coffee—it never overwhelms it.

PREFERRED EXTRACTION

Espresso • Filter

calibrated by our QC team specifically for espresso. Expect syrupy texture, layered sweetness, and a balanced finish. Grind calibration is essential—too fine leans bitter; too coarse drifts thin or sharp.

Our goal is clarity, richness, and consistency in every shot.

EXTRACTION

Extraction unfolds in stages: early acids, mid-stage sugars, and late-stage bitters and fats. Dusty’s Blend is designed to emphasize mid- to late-stage solubles, delivering sweetness, body, and stability while maintaining balance.

DIALING IN

Grind size is the most powerful variable. Finer grinds increase extraction and body; coarser grinds reduce intensity and sweetness. The ideal setting finds the midpoint—where cocoa sweetness, winey depth, and structure align.

We recommend grinding fresh and following the brew parameters below for best results.
