A fruit-forward Tarrazu medium roast
Bendix Costa Rica Tarrazu is built around citrus and tropical-fruit impressions, a notably fragrant aroma, bright acidity and rounded body. The medium roast gives customers a way to explore a lively Costa Rican profile without moving all the way to Bendix's light-roast category. The fruit terms describe the sensory direction of the roasted coffee; the product is not listed as an added-flavor coffee.
Tarrazú, Costa Rica, is the documented origin. Bendix does not name a farm, producer group, cultivar, elevation, harvest period or post-harvest process. Washed processing is common in Costa Rica, but it is not assigned to this product without source documentation. The page therefore keeps the regional and cup facts precise rather than turning regional expectations into claims about this lot.
Whole bean, Ground and Coarse options are offered in 12-ounce, one-pound and five-pound bags. Whole bean provides the most control over extraction. Ground is the convenient drip-oriented choice, while Coarse is the more practical prepared option for immersion methods such as French press.

Brew for brightness, sweetness and clarity
For pour-over, begin with 20 grams of coffee and 320 grams of filtered water, a 1:16 brew ratio. Use a medium grind and water around 198–202°F. Bloom with about 60 grams for 30–45 seconds, then finish with steady pours that keep the coffee bed evenly saturated. A paper filter can provide the clarity needed to separate citrus-like acidity from a merely sour extraction.
Taste the cup after it cools slightly. If it is thin, sharply sour or finishes too quickly, grind a little finer to increase extraction. If the finish becomes drying or bitter, move coarser or reduce agitation. Record dose, total water and drawdown, but use flavor—not time alone—to decide whether the adjustment worked.
For French press, try 30 grams of coffee with 500 grams of water and a medium-coarse grind. Steep about four minutes, allow the grounds to settle and decant. Metal filtration retains more oils and fine material, which can emphasize the documented rounded body while reducing some of the separation found in paper-filter brewing.
Whole-bean buyers can make repeatable grind changes with the Turin DF54 grinder. Grinder numbers do not transfer directly between machines, so begin from the manufacturer's guidance and adjust in small steps.
Choose a format and keep the aroma intact
Start with 12 ounces if bright Costa Rican coffee is new to you. One pound suits regular home brewing, and five pounds is best for higher-volume use. Divide a bulk bag into smaller airtight portions if it will not be used quickly; opening the full supply each day accelerates aroma loss.
Store coffee sealed away from heat, direct light and moisture. Freshly roasted beans release carbon dioxide during degassing, which can change bloom and flow. Use a roast date when one is provided and make small grind adjustments as the bag rests instead of applying one universal rest schedule.
For a lower-acidity comparison within the Bendix range, brew Bendix Colombian Supremo at the same ratio and filtration method. Keeping water, dose and brewer constant makes the difference in body, aroma and finish easier to evaluate. Browse the Specialty Coffee collection for other origin-focused coffees.
