Roast: Medium-Dark

Tasting Notes:  Chocolate, Subtle Fruit, Brown Sugar

The Grind & The Origin Named after our home base in Corrales, New Mexico, this blend is the heart of Grinding Gears Coffee. While single-origin coffees tell the story of a specific farm, a blend tells the story of the roaster’s vision. Crafting the Corrales Blend is an act of intentionality—we meticulously select seasonal beans from Latin America and East Africa that complement one another’s strengths. Just as a well-oiled machine requires every gear to align perfectly, this blend is designed to offer a consistent, reliable, and superior cup regardless of the season or harvest cycle.

The Profile: Balanced, Smooth, & Rich We’ve dialed this in as a Medium Roast to ensure it is approachable yet sophisticated. The foundation of the cup is built on a deep, velvety Chocolate base that provides weight and familiarity. To add complexity, we’ve layered in a note of Subtle Fruit—a soft brightness that cuts through the richness without overpowering it. The experience concludes with a lingering, caramelized finish of Brown Sugar. It is a balanced "all-day" drinker that performs exceptionally well in a standard drip machine, a Chemex, or even as a mellow espresso.
