Hemisphere Guatemala Atitlan Medium Roast Coffee, 5 lb

Guatemala Atitlan Medium Roast Coffee, 5 lb: profile and selection

Guatemala Atitlan in the 5 lb format combines a bulk purchase with a named producer-group story. Hemisphere identifies Coatitlan, a group of roughly 50 small farmers, as the source of this community microlot. Its medium roast carries cocoa, red-fruit and sweet-citrus impressions, with fully washed processing followed by sun drying.

Cultivars, elevation and harvest year are not specified.

This page preserves the documented roast, origin, process and tasting language without treating a regional name, grade or flavor note as evidence for missing facts. Current selections are 5 lb; whole bean or ground; confirm the exact variant before ordering.

Coffee profile

Brew for the documented roast and profile

When several people share the bag, whole beans allow each person to grind for a particular brewer. If everyone uses the same drip machine, the prepared ground choice may be simpler. Decide that before ordering rather than assuming a single prepared grind will suit every brewing method.

Establish a reference batch with 45 g coffee and 720 g water, then record the result once the pot is mixed. Compare the fruit and cocoa at the strength you normally serve. Scale the ratio for another batch size, checking that the filter basket has adequate space and that drainage stays even.

For filter brewing, begin with 20 grams of coffee and 320 grams of filtered water around 198–202°F. Use a medium grind for whole beans, wet the grounds evenly and taste the cup at more than one temperature.

If the result is hollow or sharply sour, grind finer. If it becomes dry or bitter, move coarser. Hold dose and water constant during the first adjustment, then change brew ratio only after extraction feels balanced.

For immersion, try 30 grams to 500 grams with a medium-coarse grind and decant after about four minutes. Compare body and clarity across filtration methods. Whole-bean customers can use the Turin DF54 grinder for repeatable changes.

Freshness, package size and comparison

This is a bulk listing (5 lb; whole bean or ground). Five pounds is about 2,268 grams—roughly 90 brews at a 25-gram dose or 113 brews at 20 grams before dialing waste. Estimate real daily use before choosing the larger format.

Divide the coffee into smaller airtight portions, keep one active and leave the rest sealed away from heat, moisture and sunlight. Label each portion with the date opened. A shared office or household should post the standard dose and water quantity beside the brewer.

Degassing changes bloom, drawdown and espresso flow as roasted coffee rests. Make small grind corrections instead of changing dose, temperature and ratio together. Ground coffee has more exposed surface area, so open only one portion at a time.

Frequently asked questions

Ordering and shipping

Coffee ships directly from the roaster partner. Roasted coffee does not qualify for free shipping; shipping charges are set by the partner. Coffee orders are not eligible for returns or cancellations, so confirm the bag size, grind, caffeine selection and flavor when applicable before ordering.

Review the exact variant shown in the cart before checkout. When the shipment arrives, retain the roaster label and record the selected format with the first brew. That detail makes recipe adjustments and reordering more reliable than relying on the product name alone.
