Tips

Pro Tips:

Use three distinctly different origins for maximum flavor contrast
Keep each coffee type in separate sections when grinding to maintain distinct characteristics
The key is gentle mixing - don't over-blend the grounds
Taste changes as it cools, revealing different flavor "colors"
Try Ethiopian (floral), Colombian (nutty), and Guatemalan (spicy) for best results
Each sip should taste slightly different as the flavors continue to meld
