About The Foundation Washed Caturra Coffee
The Foundation is a washed Caturra from high-elevation Boquete. Removing the fruit before drying emphasizes clarity, structured acidity and the cultivar’s clean citrus-floral character while retaining a silky, syrupy body. Explore it with other specialty coffee selections available through Espresso Outlet.
The tasting notes are sensory descriptions, not added flavors unless explicitly stated. Grind, water chemistry, roast development and extraction influence acidity, sweetness, body, clarity and finish.

Brewing Guidance
For filter coffee, begin near a 1:16 brew ratio with water around 198–203°F. Adjust grind to control drawdown and extraction: finer for a thin or sharp cup, coarser for bitterness or a drying finish. For espresso, try an 18 g dose and a 36–42 g beverage yield, then dial in by taste.
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.
