About Black Powder Bourbon-Infused Costa Rica Coffee
Black Powder infuses washed, direct-trade Costa Rican green coffee with Kentucky straight bourbon before slow roasting. The finished coffee is stated to be non-alcoholic. It is produced in limited small batches, and an out-of-stock order may wait 7–10 days for the next batch. Explore it with other specialty coffee selections available through Espresso Outlet.
This coffee is genuinely infused before roasting, not merely described with a bourbon tasting note. Brew strength and extraction will determine how clearly the infusion reads against the coffee base.

Brewing Guidance
For drip or pour-over, start near a 1:16 brew ratio—for example, 25 g coffee to 400 g water—and adjust grind for an even drawdown. For iced coffee, brew slightly stronger around 1:15 before cooling over ice. Flavor-treated or infused beans can leave aromatics in a grinder, so clean the burr chamber before switching coffees.
A capable Turin grinder makes small grind adjustments repeatable. If you brew concentrated drinks, compare compatible Turin espresso machines and weigh both dose and beverage yield.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Black Powder Bourbon-Infused Costa Rica Coffee taste like?
Delicate coffee with bourbon-derived flavor. Perception varies with dose, water and extraction.
Is the flavor added or origin-derived?
The green coffee is infused with bourbon before roasting; this is different from a naturally occurring bourbon-like tasting note.
What brew ratio should I use?
Start around 1:16 for filter coffee and adjust for strength, drawdown and finish.
Can I prepare it as espresso?
Yes. Begin with an 18 g dose and 36–42 g beverage yield, then adjust grind and yield by taste.
Should I order whole bean or ground?
Whole bean provides the most dialing-in control. Choose a listed grind option when convenience matters more.
How should I store it?
Keep it sealed, cool and dry, away from heat, moisture and direct light; grind only the dose you need.
