Because extra dark roast coffees are so versatile and robust, you can brew them in almost any way and still get an exquisite flavor. One of the best brewing methods for dark roasts is via a French press. Because of their relatively coarse grind, brewing dark roasts with a French press allows for full immersion, helping you extract the most flavor and caffeine. Another great way to prepare your cup of Hermits Bold Blend is through cold brewing. The longer brew time allows the coffee's rich, nuanced flavors to fully develop — resulting in a smooth, full-bodied cup that’s nothing short of a heavenly experience. You can also brew using an espresso machine, as an extra dark roast like the Hermits Bold Blend can tolerate the heat and pressure used to make the best shot of espresso you've ever tasted. If you’d like to enhance the chocolaty, bold flavor of this blend, try adding a few teaspoons of brown sugar, honey, or your choice of sweetener. It'll temper some of that bitterness while elevating the taste, mixing well with the Blend's existing notes of caramel. Please note: Hermits Bold Blend is not available in our Monk Shots collection, which means it can't be brewed using a single-serve machine. However, you can fill a refillable coffee pod with grounds from your Hermits Bold Blend and use that to brew yourself a single-serve cup of our delicious blend coffee. Why Are Arabica Coffee Beans So Significant For This Blend? Both dark roast and medium roast coffee come from either the Arabica or Robusta bean coffee plants. The Arabica bean is considered the better of the two because it can only be grown at high altitudes in the most fertile conditions, which are rarely found in Central and South America, as well as in distant regions like Sumatra, Indonesia. What's so special about our Hermits Bold Blend? It is a 100% Arabica blend coffee that mixes two different beans from separate countries to produce an extra dark roast coffee with a truly unique flavor profile. Artisan quality and original flavors make Mystic Monk Coffee's blends so enjoyable. Don't limit yourself to just one — browse our selection of delicious coffee blends.
