These coffees are one of the most user-friendly beans we’ve ever experienced, being very responsive and obtaining the heat efficiently, so don’t start too aggressively. Some of them have more tendency for slight crashing, some of them not really. Just hit your demanded roast degree and enjoy that beautiful complexity.
Please note this is a general, not a specific tip. Each coffee tends to behave a bit (or a lot!) differently and should be approached individually. We highly recommend working with a colorimeter machine. Your local data, depending on your grinder, grind size and the way you prepare coffee surface for measurements, will be the most precise tool for your QC routine aside from cupping.

Carlos’ connection to the rich coffee heritage of his family
stems from his father, Daniel Ulloa. Their coffee journey commenced back in the 1970s when Daniel began cultivating coffee.
Over the years, they sold their harvest to Don Cantalicio Paz, who was the grandfather of Benjamin and Arturo. Carlos joined his father in this endeavor during his formative years and adolescence.
