Good Brothers Espresso Blend coffee overview
Good Brothers Espresso Blend is a four-region composition built primarily from South American coffee, with smaller African, Indonesian, and Central American components. The roaster develops it toward the beginning of second crack to retain sweetness and character while avoiding burnt flavors.
Good Brothers roasts this blend on a fluid-bed air roaster and positions it for espresso as well as drip preparation. These documented details are retained here so the coffee can be evaluated on its actual sourcing and roast information.

Brewing and extraction guidance
For espresso, milk drinks, or drip coffee, use a scale so dose, brew ratio, time, and beverage yield remain repeatable. For filter coffee, start near a 1:16 ratio—20 grams of coffee to 320 grams of water—with water around 195–205°F. Adjust the grind to manage drawdown: a thin or sharply sour cup usually needs more extraction, while a dry or harsh finish often calls for a coarser grind or shorter contact time.
For espresso, begin around an 18-gram dose and 36 grams of beverage yield in 25–32 seconds. Treat that as a starting point. Roast development influences solubility, and degassing affects puck resistance and crema, so recently roasted coffee may require grind changes as it rests. Taste for balance among sweetness, acidity, body, clarity, and finish instead of chasing time alone.
Choosing a format and storing the coffee
Whole bean provides the most control because grind size can be matched to the brewer immediately before preparation. Choose drip, coarse, or espresso grind only when it matches your equipment; a fixed grind limits later correction if flow runs too fast or too slowly. Keep the package sealed away from heat, moisture, light, and strong odors. Pair whole-bean coffee with a precise Turin grinder and explore Turin espresso machines when building an espresso setup.
