About this Coffee

Taking monsooned beans to a full espresso roast is a calculated risk: the swelled structure can turn hollow if pushed too hard. We stop at 220°C with a 60-second development hold — deep enough for the signature monsooned character without charring the expanded cell walls.

The resulting espresso is extraordinary: extremely low acidity, a body closer to melted chocolate than coffee, and an earthy-woody aroma that fills the room. Crema is pale, voluminous, and unusually persistent — a direct result of the swelled bean structure and deep roast compounds.

For those who find bright specialty espresso exhausting, Monsooned Malabar Espresso is the answer: direct, confident, and deeply grounding.

Monsooned Malabar in a French press — extraordinary body

I have been drinking coffee for thirty years and have never found an Indian bean that could hold its own in a French press. Monsooned Malabar from Kynetra does exactly that — the body is enormous, the acidity is near-zero, and the earthy, spiced character fills the cup in a way that espresso-roasted beans rarely achieve in a press.
