Overview
The mothership of 200 Degrees Coffee. Our signature espresso blend is loved by thousands of people who frequent our shops, and it makes for a crowd-pleasing coffee in any shape or form. It is medium roasted and has plenty of body, producing a great crema and a strong, bold finish.
Sustiainability
We worked with our importer Volcafe to source our coffees from farms who are supported to deliver coffee in a way that is ethcial, and good for the community. For example, the Brazilian farm Fazenda Pantano funds various training schemes and courses for employees, as well as supporting a nearby school. It is certified by the Rainforest Alliance.
Team Recommendation
Sinead, Communications Manager: Like most people, my first taste of 200 Degrees coffee was in a shop, and it was love at first sip. This blend is a real people-pleaser, and the notes of chocolate, caramel and hazlenut taste exactly how coffee should taste (in my opinion!). I've not met a single person who doesn't love a cup of BLA. I keep it simple, brewed to recipe in my cafetiere and topped up with hot milk.

•Total brew time: between 3 minutes and 3 minutes 30 seconds
•Coffee to water ratio 1:18
Method:
1.Fold filter along the crease and place in the v60
2.Saturate the filter paper with hot water to ensure there’s no papery taste from the filter
3.Place v60 on top of your chosen vessel, then onto the scales and tare
4.Add 14g coffee to the v60 and tare scales again
5.Start timer and add 50g water going in smooth, circular motions working from the centre outwards (avoid pouring your water onto the filter paper at this point)
6.At 30 seconds add another 50g water
7.Continue to add 50g water every 30 seconds until you reach 250g
8.Gently swirl the v60 then let stand until all the water has passed through. This should be achieved somewhere between 3 minutes and 3 minutes 30 seconds.
Tips:
•If the water passes through before 3 minutes is up, then you will need a finer grind size
•If the water takes longer than 3 minutes 30 seconds to pass through, then you will need a coarser grind size
