Meet the cat

Sebastian

Sebastian is the kind of cat who somehow makes a busy house with five kids feel calm, always curling up beside whoever needs a little extra comfort. No matter how loud or chaotic the day becomes, Sebastian is always there with a soft purr, reminding everyone what true love looks like.

The coffee on this page is named after Sebastian.

The coffee

What it tastes like.

Like the last embers glowing in a midnight fire, this dark espresso blend wraps you in rich notes of cinnamon and bittersweet dark chocolate before finishing with a deep, smoky warmth. Bold yet comforting, it’s the kind of coffee that lingers long after the final sip, calling you back for one more cup. Purrfect for your espresso, latte, or even as drip!

You'll like it if
you want a bold, smoky espresso that still comes through in a latte.
Maybe not if
you like a sweeter, gentler shot; try Oscar's.

Getting it right

How we'd brew Sebastian.

Our philosophy? If it tastes good, it is good. These are some of our guidelines for how to get a great cup, but don't treat them as gospel. Treat them as a suggestion.

  • We'd start hereEspresso

    Pack finely ground coffee tightly into the portafilter and lock it into the machine. Aim for 1:3-3.5 ratio of coffee to espresso in 25-35 seconds. Grind finer to increase brew time.

  • French Press

    Add medium-coarse ground coffee to the carafe, pour in hot water (around 200°F), and stir. Let it steep for about 4-6 minutes, then press the plunger down slowly and serve right away. Grind finer for more strength.

  • Drip

    Add medium grounds to the machine's filter basket, fill the reservoir with cold water, and hit start. The machine heats the water and drips it through the bed automatically, usually in about 5 minutes. If brew time is too fast, grind finer or add more grounds.

Start with 1 oz of coffee per 20 oz of near-boiling water

Too weak
Add coffee before you add time. Longer brewing makes it bitter, not stronger.
Too bitter
Grind a little coarser, or let the water sit thirty seconds after it boils.
