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.

A fantastic morning blend of some of our favorite coffees -- Peru and Mexico. Pecans, milk chocolate, and caramel apple sweetness in our signature Light Roast. Freight Train will get you where you need to go with a full head of steam.

Available in a variety of grind options.

love the coffee

all your coffees i tried have been great. Howard Richard Donges

freight train

Best coffee we have found drinking it exclusively now for 6 years. Smooth not bitter but has a great kick to it. diane

Lived up to high accolades

I live far away from Gainesville and found out about this blend on a quarantine livestream on social media. I decided to give Freight Train a shot and am SO GLAD I DID. This is the best coffee I ever had and I can’t drink the bland stuff from the supermarket anymore. Expect to hear from me again, Sweetwater! Love from Philly! Katie

A Consistent Favorite

I've been ordering coffee from Sweetwater for at least 5 years, and while I'm always open to trying different beans/blends/roasts, Freight Train is a consistent favorite. I come back to it over and over. It never disappoints! Sarah

My mom loves this coffee

My mom loves this coffee. She tried it a few years ago and won't drink any other coffee. And I won't drink anything but the Columbia. Thanks SweetWater for making such awesome Organic coffees. Taylor
