Tip from the roastery: The drive plate is a small part of the grinder. The bean decides the taste in the cup. For most cups we recommend Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, dense, round and chocolatey. For maximum body without acidity there is Very Nutty, and if you want to discover something fruity, you will find it in Wild Peach. That is our recommendation, one of many.
