PERCUP carries The Espresso Lab's 200 g whole-bean coffees from Kenya (Kamavindi Giakanja AB), Ethiopia (Guji Hambela Rogicha) and Brazil (Carmo Fazenda Isidro Pereira), coffee capsules (Bombe Washed and Nati Lot #742) and Caballero Bomba de Fruta #1 drip bags.
Both. Carmo Fazenda Isidro Pereira is an espresso roast, Kamavindi Giakanja AB Washed is a filter roast, and Guji Hambela Rogicha works well for either. Each product page lists the roast profile and suggested brew methods.
Yes. Bombe Washed (Ethiopia) and Nati Lot #742 (Indonesia) are available as specialty coffee capsules, each box 42 g net, so you can brew single-origin espresso at home without a grinder.
