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.

Sustainability

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 hazelnut 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.

Brazil

Uganda

Peru

Brazil has been the world’s largest producer and exporter of coffee beans for over 150 years. The Fazenda Pantano farm is located in the Cerrado Mineiro, a region recognised for consistently producing high quality coffees.

Coffee exports are an important part of Uganda’s economy being 27% of their total exports, around 3 million bags of coffee per year. Robusta coffee makes up 90% of the country’s total production and is farmed in a radius of 300 km around Lake Victoria.

•Coffee to water ratio 1:18 

Method: 
1.Fold filter along the crease and place in the v60

•If the water takes longer than 3 minutes 30 seconds to pass through, then you will need a coarser grind size
