Coffee #1: La Libertad – Peru (Light Roast)

The first coffee in the trio is La Libertad – Peru, a single-origin light roast from the Cajamarca region. This coffee is grown at high altitude by smallholder farmers who use traditional processing methods. The result is a cup that is clean, tea-like, and bursting with subtle fruit notes.

On the nose, you'll detect hints of red apple, honey, and a whisper of jasmine. The flavor profile is delicate but not shy—think green grape acidity with a silky mouthfeel and a sweet, lingering finish. We brewed it using a pour-over method (V60) and found it to be exceptionally bright and refreshing. It's a wonderful coffee to wake up your taste buds on a spring morning.

• Origin: Cajamarca, Peru
• Processing: Washed
• Flavor notes: Red apple, honey, jasmine
• Best brewing method: Pour-over or Aeropress for maximum clarity

Coffee #2: The Brixton (Medium Roast – Office Coffee Favorite)

The second coffee in the trio is The Brixton, a medium roast blend that has become a staple in our office coffee lineup. It's designed to be versatile, working equally well as a drip coffee, espresso, or French press. The blend combines beans from Central America and East Africa, creating a balanced profile with a chocolatey backbone and a hint of citrus.

We brewed it as a standard drip coffee and were impressed by its smoothness. There's no bitterness—just a gentle nuttiness with a clean finish. It's the kind of coffee you can drink black all day without fatigue. For those who like a richer cup, pulling it as an espresso yields a creamy crema with notes of dark chocolate and a subtle orange zest. This coffee is a crowd-pleaser and a solid choice for Easter brunch.

• Blend: Central America & East Africa
• Roast level: Medium
• Flavor notes: Dark chocolate, nut, orange zest
• Best brewing method: Drip coffee maker or espresso machine

Coffee #3: Raspberry Ripple Coffee (Flavored Medium Roast)

The third and most playful coffee in the trio is the Raspberry Ripple Coffee, a medium roast infused with natural raspberry flavor. This is not your typical sugary flavored coffee—Volcano Coffee Works uses high-quality beans and subtle flavoring that complements rather than masks the coffee's natural character.

The aroma is unmistakably fruity, like a freshly baked raspberry pastry. The flavor is surprisingly balanced: the raspberry is present but not cloying, with a gentle sweetness that pairs beautifully with the coffee's chocolatey undertones. We tried it black and with a splash of milk; both were delightful. This coffee is a fantastic conversation starter and a fun way to celebrate the season. If you enjoy flavored coffees, this one is a must-try.

• Flavor: Natural raspberry
• Roast level: Medium
• Flavor notes: Raspberry, dark chocolate, subtle sweetness
• Best brewing method: Drip coffee or French press for a full-bodied cup

How to Brew the Easter Coffee Trio for Best Results

To get the most out of each coffee, we recommend matching the brew method to the roast profile. For the light-roasted La Libertad – Peru, a pour-over or Aeropress will highlight its delicate fruit notes. For the medium-roasted The Brixton, a drip coffee maker or espresso machine brings out its chocolatey richness. And for the Raspberry Ripple Coffee, a French press or drip brewer will allow the flavor to shine without losing body.

Grind size matters: use a medium-fine grind for pour-over, medium for drip, and coarse for French press. If you're using a high-quality grinder like the Baratza Encore ESP Coffee Grinder, you'll achieve consistent particle size, which leads to better extraction and a cleaner cup. Freshness is key, so grind your beans just before brewing.

• La Libertad – Peru: Pour-over (V60) or Aeropress, medium-fine grind, water at 93°C
• The Brixton: Drip coffee maker or espresso, medium grind, water at 95°C
• Raspberry Ripple Coffee: French press or drip, medium-coarse grind, water at 95°C
• Always use filtered water for the best flavor
