BREAKAWAY BOLD is 100% Columbian arabica

These gorgeous specialty-grade, single-origin beans (SCA 84+) offer strong notes of sweet chocolate and nuts with some dark fruit and smokiness. Different aspects of the flavor will come forward based upon the brewing method used. It's roasted for lower-acidity, but if acidity is an issue, try cold brewing. That method yields the lowest acidity but also the highest caffeine, so be warned or be thrilled! 

For a Rock-Solid, Full-bodied Hot Cuppa Joe:

Any traditional brewing method, such as automatic drip or French Press, works great. For a dainty 6-ounce cup--like the ones marked on the side of the old-school drip machine carafes--use one level coffee spoon, or about 1.5 tablespoons for each cup. If you're using an 8-ounce mug or larger (go, you!), try using a couple of rounded tablespoons or a heaping coffee scoop per 8 ounces of water. With these methods, you will taste that first bloom of fruit in every sip. The longer the brewing process and the more coffee grounds you use, the more chance you can make your spoon stand vertically in your cup! Brew. Pour. PLOT WORLD DOMINATION!

Yes, this deep roast works wonderfully in K-cup/pod brewers!  Fill your basket filter to the tippy-top, set your machine to Strong, and REVEL.

• K-Cup HACK: To get even more flavor when brewing from a refillable filter basket, we recommend filling your mug by making two smaller, espresso-sized cups in a row, set on Strong. Pop open the unit and wait a few seconds before starting the espresso cycle again with the same filled pod you just used. By making a full mug from these two mini-batches, the coffee grounds get more time in contact with the hot water. That develops MORE FLAVOR, and this flavor is Soooo Goood. Try it!

For Delectable Cold Brew:

Just mix the ground coffee into water at the proportion of approximately 1:8. That means 1 part coffee to every 8 parts water. An easy starting recipe is to mix 1/2 Cup of Ground Coffee into 32 Ounces of Fresh Water, plus a splash more to compensate for the water the coffee grounds will steal by soaking them up. Don't worry if there's still coffee floating on top, just give it a swish, close up the container, and simply leave it to steep overnight on the counter or in the fridge. Anywhere from 16 to 24 hours is fine, no fewer than 12 hours. Remove the grounds from the liquid by pouring it all through a strainer lined with a paper towel, through a funnel lined with a coffee filter, through a clean sock, whatever's handy! Add ice and fixings as you like. ENJOY THE LUSCIOUS HIGH-OCTANE BOOST AS YOUR BRAIN APPLAUDS.
