Colombia (Filter Roast) Single Origin Coffee

Our Colombian coffee beans are a Merlo classic, and they're now available as a light (or filter) roast.

During the roasting process, coffee beans lose moisture and begin to expand and crack. Typically, the beans will crack twice, but in the case of our Colombian Light Roast, the roast is stopped just before the 'second crack'.

This brings out the fruity notes and results in a brighter tasting coffee which is softer on the palate and has a much crisper finish - perfect for a filter coffee.

Farmed in an ideal coffee growing climate, this bean yields an intense aroma, rich flavour and excellent balance of acidity and body. A well-rounded coffee with sweet chocolate and clean fruit flavours.

This category includes a range of brew devices that use filters (paper or reusable). Devices include the AeroPress, & AeroPressGo, the Hario V60, Chemex & Fretta, the MoccaMaster and other cone-filtered methods where water is poured over ground coffee. A medium grind is recommended.

  • Breville Bambino & Plus
  • Breville Compact Café & Infuser
  • Breville Duo Temp Pro
  • Delonghi Dedica Range

  • Solis Barista Perfetta Plus.

    HOME ESPRESSO MACHINE (fine grind: 4.5)

  • Baby Gaggia

    SEMI-PRO ESPRESSO MACHINE (finer grind: 4.2)

    REFILLABLE PODS (fine grind: 3.5)
    No matter the brand, or type of refillable capsules or pods you have, a fine grind works best.

    Turkish coffee combines extra finely ground coffee with water, boiling it in a small pot. An extra-fine grind is essential because Turkish coffee is served unfiltered.


    Please note: while we try and grind to your specific settings, we cannot guarantee the grind setting will be exact for your set up.

    If you do require a more specific grind setting, it may be worth investing in a grinder, and you can view our range of preferred coffee grinders HERE.

    Sometimes less is more

    I enjoy my coffee but was finding the post cuppa caffeine hit too much, so I switched to the light Colombian roast. Perfect, took a couple of cups to adjust my taste buds, but the flavour without that jolt was perfect for me.

    Thank you for the great review, Tay! We’re glad to hear you’ve found a blend you enjoy for both flavour and caffeine. Thanks, Team Merlo

    Merlo the great

    I already love the Columbian coffee of yours and this lighter version is the same just smoother.
    I could drink this coffee the whole day, if it wouldn’t have caffeine 😉
    It still has a very full body for it’s smoothness.

    Pricey
    Beautiful bean

    Great work from the Merlo staff.

    Thank you for the lovely review! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed our Colombia Light Roast. Our team at Merlo takes pride in providing quality beans. We appreciate your support and hope to serve you again soon. Team Merlo
