Mountain Water Process is a method of indirect decaffeination. This lot comes from Descamex, which uses pure water from Pico de Orizaba—the highest mountain in Mexico. The process begins with a chemical analysis to determine optimal conditions. Next, the beans are steamed and prepared for extraction. Finally, they undergo an extraction process which uses a water-based saturated solution. This solution removes the caffeine while keeping the coffee's flavor compounds in place.
NOTE: We cannot guarantee an Espresso grind that works for all the machines out there.
If you select Espresso you will receive an grind size between Espresso and (a tad finer than) Moka.
If you predominantly drink Espresso, we suggest investing in a good home grinder, starting with a Baratza or Sage.
