Impact Roasters is moving away from official organic certification for its Ethiopian coffee to focus more on real sustainability and direct trade. While no longer certified, the coffee remains organic in practice—grown traditionally without harmful chemicals. The team continues to work closely with Ethiopian farmers to deliver high-quality, ethical coffee without compromise.
A perfect cup of coffee starts with the right grind size, which influences the extraction rate and flavor profile. Using the wrong grind size can lead to under-extraction, resulting in a weak and sour taste, or over-extraction, causing bitterness. Understanding the relationship between grind size and brewing method is essential. Coarse grinds work best for French press, medium-coarse for pour-over, medium for filter coffee, and fine grinds for espresso. However, adjustments may be needed based on equipment and bean type, particularly when brewing with Ethiopian beans. Experimenting will help you find the ideal balance for a flavorful cup.
