by conscious cup coffee roasters - crystal lake · chicago, usa
expect caramel. this is station street blend, a colombia + papua new guinea from conscious cup coffee roasters - crystal lake.
station street blend leads with caramel sweetness, a profile shaped by its medium roast level, which keeps the cup smooth and balanced rather than sharp or heavily dark.
the blend draws from two origins, colombia and papua new guinea, though specific farm, altitude, or processing details have not been provided by the roaster for this blend.
a medium grind with a drip machine or pour-over works well for this medium roast, using water around 200°f and a 1:15 to 1:17 coffee-to-water ratio to bring out the caramel sweetness without over-extracting.
