We have recently adjusted our grind options. With that in mind, we wanted to offer this primer so that you can choose the best grind-style for your preferred brewing method.

Whole Bean-- While we are happy to grind your beans, your coffee will stay fresher longer if you grind it as you go. There are many great home grinder options out there and many are surprisingly inexpensive.

Drip-- This is a medium grind that is the most versatile. Brewing methods using drip include home coffee drip machines, pour-overs (like Hario), Chemex, and AeroPress.

Espresso-- This grind is generally used for espresso makers. This includes home machines and stove-tip espresso pots. The grind is the most fine and is optimized to work with a high pressure extraction system.

Coarse-- Coarse is for percolators, french press, cold brewing, and sometimes AeroPress. Coarse is the biggest/loosest grind and enables water to move more freely steeping coffee for extraction.

All of the above, while generally true in the industry, also should be adjusted for preference. Feel free to experiment and please contact us if you have questions and we will be happy to work with you.

Seize the day with this smooth, eye-opening blend of Indonesian and sweet creamy Honduran fair trade, organic, shade-grown beans. We crafted Carpe Diem as a tonic to all of the people out there who need an extra bump in the morning to get moving. Grab a cup and take on the morning with a spring in your step.

Available in a variety of grind options.

Yummy

Carpe Diem is consistently delicious. We prepare this as an Americano in our Breville Espresso machine and it produces more consistent deliciousness than any other coffees we have tried in that machine. I would highly recommend trying this medium roast goodness. Brian Palmer

great coffee

I would say I am very selective on what coffee I drink. This bean is amazing. Smooth, full favor and not bitter. Highly recommend. Gainsville is only 2 hours away. Might have to drive there and stock up next football season at UF. Don Davis

Super best coffee! We love this blend. Rich smooth deep flavor. Our favorite Sweetwater. Love Sweetwater anyway lol but this is a great satisfying cup- or mug- every time! Lisa B

Best coffee on the planet!

We first has Carpe Diem while visiting family in Gainesville. Being from Atlanta, we used to stock up at Ward's on our way out of town each visit. Then discovered we could order online -- which we've been doing for several years. Can't live without my morning Sweetwater! Christine D.
