Lilly’s Guatemala Medium Roast Coffee: Flavor, Origin and Brewing Guide

Lilly’s Guatemala is a single-origin medium roast from the highlands of Mataquescuintla in southeastern Guatemala. It balances rich cocoa with melon sweetness and a grapefruit-like lift, giving the cup enough depth for espresso while retaining definition in filter brewing.

Santa Marta Farm and the Rodriguez Family

The coffee is grown at Santa Marta, a family-run farm operated by the Rodriguez family. The family also imports its coffee directly into the United States, keeping the farm and supply story closely connected. The current lot information does not identify a cultivar or processing method, so this page does not invent either detail.

What to Expect in the Cup

Expect cocoa to form the base of the cup, with melon-like sweetness through the middle and grapefruit bringing a cleaner, brighter finish. The medium roast should feel developed rather than aggressively dark. If the citrus reads sharp or the cup seems thin, increase extraction slightly with a finer grind; if cocoa turns dry or bitter, grind coarser.

Brewing Recommendations

  • Pour-over: start near a 1:16 ratio with a medium-fine grind and moderate agitation.
  • Automatic drip: use about 60 grams of coffee per liter of water and a medium grind.
  • Espresso: begin near a 1:2 ratio; adjust grind to balance cocoa body with the grapefruit finish.
  • French press: use a coarse grind near 1:15 and decant after roughly four minutes.

Use these recipes as starting points. Water chemistry, coffee age, grinder geometry and brewer design all affect extraction. Keep dose and water constant while changing grind size so each adjustment gives useful feedback.

Whole Bean and Ground Options

Whole bean offers the most control and generally protects aroma longer. Choose a ground option only when it matches the brewer named in the selector. Pre-ground espresso cannot be matched perfectly to every basket, dose and machine, so whole bean is preferable when precise dialing is important.

Great Service! It has been a few months since I purchased my machine, but I absolutely love it. Initially I had some issues with damage from shipping, but Joe took care of it immediately so there were no problems. He also stayed on the phone with me for a long time the day I received my machine so I could get everything working properly. I highly recommend!

Great customer service! Joe worked with me from purchasing a grinder to ultimately returning and changing to a different grinder. It’s a tough decision buying without seeing or using and the fact that a business is willing to work with their customers goes a long way with me. I would definitely recommend Joe and EspressoOutlet.
