the colombia nelson chaves natural is roasted by metric and comes from colombia, processed using the natural method, where coffee cherries dry whole before milling. that extended contact with the fruit skin pulls sweetness and texture into the cup alongside bright citrus character. expect lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, a profile that sits on the sharper, more aromatic end of naturals. because the acidity is prominent, this coffee responds well to brew methods that give you control over extraction, such as pour over or aeropress, where you can dial in temperature and ratio to keep the citrus clean rather than harsh.

about metric

chicago has a deep specialty coffee culture, and a lot of it runs through the west side, where fulton market has pulled serious roasters and curious drinkers alike into its orbit. metric, at 2021 w fulton st, sits right in that current. it's an independent roastery with a genuine following, the kind of place where regulars don't just drift in and out, they come back with intent. you're not picking this spot because it's convenient; you're picking it because the quality holds up, and people who care about that sort of thing have noticed. west fulton is still a working stretch of the city, which gives the whole block a less performative feel than some of the shinier corridors nearby. worth planning your morning around a filter coffee here.
