An Ethiopian single origin from Forty Road Roastery, carrying the Beloya name. Ethiopia is the original home of coffee, and its coffees are usually met black so the cup reads on its own terms. This is a 250g bag of specialty coffee, best ground at the moment you brew rather than days ahead.

Start on filter, a V60 at 1:16 with a medium grind and water around 93°C; a conservative recipe that shows you the coffee honestly before you tune it. Coarsen the grind a touch if the acidity comes through sharp, go finer if the cup tastes flat. Drink the first cup black, and keep the bag sealed somewhere dry, away from heat and sunlight.

A single-origin El Salvador coffee from Forty Road, classified for both espresso and filter — and that alone tells you it is a balanced lot that holds up either way. Pull it dense in the morning and brew it as filter in the afternoon, out of the same bag.

Start with espresso: 18 g in, 36 ml out in 28 seconds, then taste and adjust the grind — coarser if it runs sharp, finer if it runs thin. If you want it as filter, try a V60 at 1:16 with water at 93 C. Buy it whole bean and grind each cup right before you brew; 250g gives you weeks of dialing in.

• Grind fresh right before each brew
• 250g net weight
