Cruise Control: Colombian Coffee in Its Smoothest Gear

Not every coffee needs to shout. Some win you over with calm confidence—the kind of balance and clarity that makes you pause between sips and say, “That’s just... right.”

Cruise Control is that kind of coffee.

This is high-elevation Colombian specialty coffee at its most refined. Elegant, structured, and brimming with natural sweetness, it’s designed for the coffee drinker who values finesse over flash.

Suggested Brew Recipe

This coffee is delicate and complex, so the recipe aims to preserve clarity while unlocking sweetness and acidity in harmony.

• Dose: 18g
• Yield: 40g
• Ratio: 1:2.2
• Brew Temp: 93°C
• Brew Time: 26–30 seconds

This slightly longer yield allows the redcurrant acidity and vanilla sweetness to shine without compromising body. Expect an espresso that’s crisp, clean, and satisfyingly smooth—ideal for sipping neat, though it plays surprisingly well with a splash of milk too.

Origin & Process: A Deep Dive

• Origin: Colombia
• Region Altitude: 1,700–1,850m
• Varietals: Typica & Tabi
• Process: Washed
• SCA Score: 87.5
• Flavour Profile: Redcurrant, vanilla, cacao nib
• Makeup: 100% Arabica

This is single-origin coffee from Colombia’s high Andes—known for clarity, structure, and sparkling acidity. The Typica varietal brings elegance and florals, while Tabi adds structure, depth, and resistance to disease (without sacrificing cup quality). Together, they form a perfectly balanced duo.

The washed process ensures a clean cup, accentuating bright fruit and soft florals over funk or fermentation. And with an SCA score of 87.5, this isn’t just a good coffee—it’s a top-tier experience.

Why Cruise Control?

Because smooth doesn’t mean simple.
Because elegance takes precision.
Because some journeys are best enjoyed at a steady pace.

Cruise Control was designed for those who want to explore complexity without the drama—refined acidity, layered sweetness, and a finish that lingers like fine chocolate.

Whether you’re pulling a slow espresso, brewing a pour-over, or dialling in your Aeropress, this coffee performs effortlessly.

Brew Tip: For filter methods like V60 or Chemex, increase your ratio to 1:15–1:16 and keep the water around 93–94°C. You’ll bring out even more of that redcurrant brightness with a lighter body.
