Brew it
What medium acidity means
basecamp is a medium-acidity coffee. Acidity here is a gentle brightness, not sourness.
- A paper filter, like drip or Chemex, keeps that brightness clear.
- A French press rounds it off if you want less snap.
- EspressoWater is forced through a fine puck. This coffee is packed tight, so the sweetness and body show up in a short, strong cup.
