What is Single-Origin Coffee: Comparing to Blended Coffee Beans
While coffee blends combine beans from various regions to achieve a specific flavour profile, single-origin coffee celebrates the distinct characteristics of a particular area. Each roast has its unique flavour, influenced by the area's soil, climate, farming methods and altitude.
At Merlo, we bring you the finest beans from different corners of the globe, offering an opportunity to savour those specific qualities unique to their origin and indulge your senses with Limited Edition roasts.

Brewing Perfection: Tips for the Ultimate Single Origin Coffee Experience
To fully appreciate the intricate flavours of our Merlo single-origin coffee collection, consider experimenting with various brewing methods.
Whether you prefer the pour-over method for a cleaner taste profile or the plunger for a fuller body, our coffee beans are versatile enough to cater to most brewing preferences.
Adjust the grind size and proportion of water to coffee to unlock a full spectrum of flavours. A finer grind often intensifies the aromas, while tuning the water-to-coffee ratio allows you to control the strength of your brew.
Temperature plays a crucial role, too. Optimal water temperature ensures that the extraction process captures the nuanced flavours without overpowering or underwhelming your palate. Experiment to find the sweet spot that brings out the best in each cup.
Remember to savour the entire coffee-making ritual. Take a moment to appreciate the aromas that fill the air as you brew, and let the anticipation build as you prepare to taste the unique flavours of our single-origin coffee. With some experimentation and a touch of curiosity, you'll achieve brewing perfection, elevating your coffee experience to greater heights.
