1869 Founders Blend Special – Buy 1 lb, Get 1 lb Free: Profile and Brewing Guide
Named for the year T.M. Ward Coffee was founded in Newark, New Jersey, this offer includes a second one-pound bag at no additional charge. This page reflects only details published by T.M. Ward Coffee Company and the current Shopify options; undocumented origin, cultivar or processing information is left unspecified.
Bold nut and sweet caramel undertones is the published sensory direction. These notes describe expected aroma and flavor rather than added ingredients. Acidity, body, clarity and finish will shift with water chemistry, grind distribution, brew ratio and extraction. Taste again as the cup cools, when sweetness and fruit are often easier to separate.

How to Brew It
For drip or pour-over, begin near a 1:16 brew ratio—about 30 g coffee to 480 g water—with a medium grind and even saturation. For French press, try 1:15 with a coarse grind and a four-minute steep. Espresso can start around an 18 g dose and 36 g beverage yield, then be adjusted by taste.
Use clean water that meets your brewer or espresso-machine requirements. Keep dose and water constant while adjusting grind. A slow drawdown or drying finish usually calls for a coarser grind; a fast, weak cup often benefits from a finer grind. Store coffee sealed, cool and dry, away from heat, moisture and strong odors.
Choosing Whole Bean, Grind and Size
Buy-one-get-one 1 lb offer; regular; whole bean or multiple ground settings. Whole bean gives the most control and slows aroma loss; grind immediately before brewing with a consistent burr grinder when possible. If selecting pre-ground coffee, match the option to the brewer. Bulk buyers should divide coffee into smaller airtight portions so the full supply is not exposed each day.
Complete Your Coffee Setup
Compare more specialty coffee. For whole-bean preparation, the Turin DF64 Gen 2.7 grinder supports precise grind adjustment, while the Turin Legato V2 espresso machine is a practical route for dialing in espresso-capable selections. Equipment is optional and should match the grind and brew method selected.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this roasted coffee or green coffee?
This is roasted coffee, ready to grind or brew in the selected format. It is not unroasted green coffee.
What roast level should I choose?
Medium roast is available or published for this coffee. When more than one roast is offered, choose the lighter option for more clarity or the darker option for deeper roast character and higher perceived body.
Which brew method is a good starting point?
Drip or pour-over is a dependable first recipe, while French press emphasizes body. Use the guidance above and change grind before making several recipe changes at once.
Should I order whole bean or ground?
Choose whole bean for maximum freshness and control. Choose a ground option when you do not have a grinder, confirming that the selected grind matches the brewer.
Are the tasting notes added flavors?
No added flavor is stated. The listed notes—bold nut and sweet caramel undertones—describe sensory impressions that can occur naturally through origin, processing, roast and brewing.
