GABEE Colombia Organic Full City Coffee: cup overview
GABEE Colombia Organic Full City Coffee is one of the roaster's darkest offerings, developed to deliver a bold cup without erasing the character of Colombian specialty coffee. The medium-dark Full City roast emphasizes dark chocolate, sweetness and nuttiness with a full body and balanced finish. Its increased solubility makes it forgiving across espresso, drip and cold-brew preparation, while the washed process helps the cup retain structure beneath the deeper roast development.
The coffee comes from the Herrera and Bilbao areas of Tolima, Colombia, at documented elevations of 1,700 to 1,900 meters above sea level. GABEE rotates providers seasonally to maintain quality, so this page does not name a farm that may not apply to every shipment. The documented cultivars are Caturra, Castillo and Colombia. The coffee is fully washed, sun dried, and listed with Regenerative and 100% Organic certifications. Those verified facts are preserved without adding producer names or processing variations that are not supplied.

What to expect in the cup
The first impression should be a substantial body and dark-chocolate depth, followed by a rounded sweetness and nut-like finish. Full City roast development reduces the prominence of bright acidity while preserving enough structure to keep the cup from feeling flat. In milk, the chocolate character becomes softer and more confectionary; served black, the balance among sweetness, roast and body is easier to evaluate.
Brewing and extraction guidance
For espresso, start with an 18-gram dose and 36–40 grams of beverage yield in about 27–31 seconds. Use a temperature near 195–199°F. If the shot is bitter or drying, lower temperature, grind slightly coarser or shorten yield. If it runs fast and tastes hollow, grind finer. The profile should work as a straight shot while carrying enough body for cappuccinos and lattes.
For drip, use 30 grams of coffee to 480 grams of water with a medium grind. Aim for even saturation and a clean drawdown. For cold brew, begin around 75 grams per liter for ready-to-drink strength and steep 12–14 hours under refrigeration. A coarse, uniform grind and thorough filtration will preserve more clarity than extending steep time indefinitely.
Freshness, degassing and dialing in
Allow the coffee to degas before final espresso dialing, particularly if it arrives very fresh. Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place and grind immediately before brewing. As the coffee ages, shots may run faster; compensate with small grind changes rather than a large dose increase. Recording dose, yield and time makes those adjustments more precise and reduces waste.
Choose the right format
The product is offered as a one-pound bag. Because this medium-dark roast works across several methods, whole-bean storage and on-demand grinding provide the best flexibility. Use a grinder that can move cleanly between coarse cold-brew settings, medium drip settings and fine espresso settings, purging as needed to prevent retained grounds from affecting the next brew.
