“Café de grano” simply means whole bean coffee. Instead of arriving pre-ground, the beans are sold intact so you can grind them at home right before brewing. Many coffee lovers choose whole beans for fresher aroma, better flavor control, and the flexibility to match grind size to their brewer.

• You’ll find options across roast levels (light, medium, dark) and styles (blends, single-origin, decaf, flavored, espresso-focused).
• Pick a bag size you can enjoy within a few weeks for best freshness.
• Shopping tip: Browse and order online, then use Pickup or Delivery to get your favorite whole bean coffee in a way that fits your schedule. Availability can vary by location.

“Café tostado en grano” refers to roasted whole coffee beans. These are beans that have been roasted (ready to brew) but not yet ground. Grinding happens at home, which can help preserve aroma and allows you to dial in flavor for your brewer.

• Look at the roast level on the bag to match your taste preferences.
• Grind just before brewing for a fresher-tasting cup.
• Store beans in an airtight, opaque container to help protect quality.
• If you’re new to whole beans, start with a roast level you usually like in pre-ground coffee, then adjust from there. Results can vary by equipment and personal taste.

Roast level influences flavor, body, and perceived acidity. There isn’t a single best choice—consider what you enjoy and how you brew.

• Light roast: Often tastes brighter and more aromatic, with a lighter body.
• Medium roast: Balanced flavor and sweetness—an easy starting point.
• Dark roast: Bolder, roasty notes with a heavier body and less brightness.

Additional tips: read the bag’s tasting notes, pair lighter roasts with pour-over or drip if you enjoy clarity, and try medium-to-dark for fuller-bodied brews or concentrated methods. If unsure, begin with medium roast, buy a smaller bag, and adjust next time based on what you taste.

Matching grind size to your brewer can improve flavor extraction. Use these general guidelines and adjust based on taste:

• Cold brew: Extra coarse (chunky, like peppercorns).
• French press: Coarse (like sea salt).
• Pour-over: Medium to medium-fine (like sand; tweak by dripper).
• Drip machine: Medium.
• AeroPress: Medium-fine (adjust with steep time).
• Espresso: Fine (powdery; small changes make a big impact).
• Moka pot: Fine to medium-fine (slightly coarser than espresso).

Grind just before brewing for a fresher cup. If coffee tastes sour/weak, try finer; if it tastes bitter/harsh, try coarser. Results vary by beans and equipment.

Protect beans from air, light, heat, and moisture. A few simple habits can help preserve flavor:

• Use an airtight, opaque container and keep it in a cool, dry cupboard.
• Avoid the fridge; condensation can dull flavor. If you must extend storage, freeze in small, airtight portions and thaw unopened to reduce moisture.
• Buy a bag size you’ll use in about 2–4 weeks after opening.
• Grind only what you need before brewing.
• Many bags include a one-way valve to vent gas—seal tightly after each use.

When you’re ready to restock, you can order online and choose Pickup or Delivery. Availability may vary by area.
