Year long blend

Coro-Cora, just like all our Black Series Coffees, is a blend exploration, this time of two beautiful origins: Colombia and Honduras.

Each brings its own character to the cup, and together they create something uniquely delicious. From Colombia, you get those classic sweet notes, balanced acidity, and a gentle fruitiness. From Honduras adds a lovely depth, soft cocoa tones, and a rounded, smooth body.

Classic but exciting

The idea behind our Black Series Coffees is simple: To create a reliable and consistent coffee profile that tastes just as good in July as it does in January.

We rotate lots seasonally to keep the profile fresh and vibrant, but always aim for that same comforting flavor you can count on. We love this coffee because it bridges the gap between classic and modern profiles. It’s approachable enough for everyday drinking, yet has just enough complexity to keep you coming back for another sip.

For us, Coro-Cora is like a bridge between the familiar and the new. It’s rooted in classic flavors but always brings a touch of adventure.

F.A.Q.S

Why do you exclusively offer Colombian coffees?
+

From the very beginning of The Boy & The Bear – Coffee Roastery, our mission has been to uphold a commitment to genuine and transparent coffee processes. We take pride in meticulously overseeing the journey from coffee crop to your cup to ensure we serve nothing short of the best. Our dedication extends beyond coffee; it's about sharing our rich Colombian culture with our community. At The Boy & The Bear, it's not just about the specialty Colombian coffees. It's an immersive experience that encapsulates Colombian culture, its vibrant people, spirited music, and everything that embodies the positivity and liveliness of our country. As our founder, Andres Piñeros, beautifully puts it: "The Boy & The Bear – Coffee Roastery is a magical surrealism of the Colombian coffee experience and the culture that surrounds it." We invite you to savor this enchanting journey with us.

Do you offer pre-ground for espresso?
+

We don’t offer pre-ground espresso because every machine is different. It is never a "one size- fits all". For the best results, we recommend grinding fresh to match your setup.

Perfect brewing recipe for Filter coffee
+

At the Boy and the Bear, we pride ourselves on staying ahead of the industry and having a deeper understanding of coffee extraction.

Utilizing physics and data collected by ourselves and our colleagues, we have come to the conclusion that the ideal ratio for filter is 1 gram for every 17 grams (or milliliters) of water.

Our ideal beverage yield is:
10oz or 295 grams, to achieve this, we use 20 grams of coffee and 340 grams of water.

Since our coffees are a lighter development, we recommend using water in the 201° - 203°F. And remember, the better your water = the better the coffee.

For any further help or questions, email us or visit one of our cafes and ask one of our knowledgeable staff.

Happy sipping!

Perfect brewing recipe for espresso
+

While espresso can be a more involved extraction, a good starting point for all of our coffees is:

1:2; 1 gram of coffee for every 2 grams (or milliliters) of water.

In the cafes, we currently use 16 grams of coffee for 34 milliliters of extracted coffee at around 30 - 32 seconds in time with ideal water quality.

Since our coffees are a slightly lighter development than most, we recommend using water around 201 - 202°F.

To trouble shoot your espresso extraction, grind your coffee finer if the espresso is sour or coarser if it is bitter to taste. To increase sweetness, increase your yield. To increase body, reduce the yield.

For any further help or questions, email us or visit one of our cafes and ask one of our knowledgeable staff.

Happy sipping!

What is the ideal resting period for brewing our coffees?
+

When coffee is fresh out of the roasting process, the CO2 retention is at the highest point it could possibly be at. Within the first 4 - 7 days, coffee releases 90% CO2 and 10% nitrogen from the roasting process, making 7 - 14 days off roast the peak consumption time for filter coffee.

Espresso is slightly more forgiving and can still extract incredible flavors up until 6 weeks from the initial roast date.
