Tastes great!

I really enjoy Fernwood coffees; I don’t find even the “very dark” “Strongback Blend” to be too strong or bitter. In fact, I found the “Strongback Blend” to be similar to the “West Coast Trail Blend”, even though the former is labelled as “very dark” and the latter is labelled as “dark”. I have actually mixed both of them half-and-half with a Starbucks blend (“True North”), that I’m trying to use-up, and that’s good too.

Love this subscription!

Favourite coffee to our door in two days! So thankful 😌

Great thing to wake up to!

Glad we found Fernwood. This is top grade coffee and a pleasure to enjoy!

So good!

Such a full flavour! Love this stuff

An excellent cup of coffee

I had, for many years, only bought Starbucks Sumatra through Amazon. I was happy with the taste and Amazon provided a good price. My coffee life changed when my daughter sent me a 1 pound bag of Strongback Blend for my birthday.
The flavor was full bodied like Sumatra, but without the bitterness. My wife and I were hooked and I immediately ordered a five pound bag. We are now on a regular order and couldn't be happier with the service, thanks.

Brew Guide

Our head roasters have always vouched to brew what tastes good to you. We use these guides as a starting point and a general process through each method to brew the best coffee.

Fundamentals

Preheat your brewing vessel
Weigh your ingredients
Make sure your brewing vessel is clean
Use water that is almost but not quite boiling
Make sure to wet all the grounds evenly
Rinse any paper filters with hot water before use
Be sure to grind the coffee to the correct coarseness for the brewer you are using
Fresh coffee will "bloom" which is CO2 being released as hot water hits the coffee
To adjust strength change the grind, not the ratio of coffee to water. For stronger tasting coffee grind finer for less intense flavor coarsen your grind.

Conical Pour Over

Wet filter with boiling water and discard water
Put in 20 grams of medium ground coffee
Pour in 100 grams of water & allow coffee to bloom
Pour in remaining 240 grams of water little by little & use the stream of the water to push any grounds off the sides of the filter
When all water is in stir once in a circular motion
Let drip till done

French Press

Put in 55 grams of coarse ground coffee
Pour in 935 grams of water just off the boil
Stir
Fit top on to retain heat and wait 4 minutes
Plunge
Decant to another vessel

Aeropress

Place the top portion of the brewer upside down on table
Fit the bottom section over the rubber basket (At this point the numbers should be upside down on both parts of the brewer.)
Put in 15 grams of medium ground coffee
Pour in hot water to top (around 250 grams)
Stir and make sure there are no dry grounds hiding at the bottom
Let sit for 45 seconds
Affix the filter cap with a wetted paper filter into the fitting (this should be at the top at this point) and depress a tiny bit so the slurry is close to the filter.
Carefully invert the entire brewer onto your heated mug and press to the bottom.
