How should I brew Lyon whole beans for the best results?
Lyon performs well across common home brewing techniques; grind size and water temperature will tailor the extraction. Use a medium grind for drip or pour-over and a coarser grind for French press to preserve the coffee’s sweet and toasty character.

- French press: coarse grind, steep 3.5–4 minutes, then plunge for fuller body
- Espresso: fine grind, shorter extraction to keep sweetness without bitterness
- Store sealed and whole until grinding to maintain aroma and flavor

- Grind immediately before brewing to maximize flavor
