What does Dark Roast Blend 5LB taste like?

Stone Street Coffee describes this blend as thick and chocolaty without tasting burnt, with a taste that is both strong and silky-smooth. The beans come from Indonesia and South America, creating a mix that the roaster calls the perfect blend of strong and smooth.

Which grind should I choose for my brewer?

The 5LB bag is available in four grind options: Whole Bean, Coarse Grind (French Press), Medium Grind (Drip), and Fine Grind (Espresso). Choose the grind that matches your primary brewing method, or select whole bean if you prefer to grind right before each brew.

Can I use this dark roast for espresso and lattes?

Yes. The product description specifically mentions homemade lattes, fresh espresso, and a simple pot of drip coffee as suitable uses for this blend. The fine grind option is intended for espresso.
