About the Grinds

At Hoodlum Coffee we offer beans in various styles, whole beans, standard, espresso and coarse grinds. If you would like your beans ground, choose your style at purchase. Our standard grind is medium, which is best for drip filters.

We recommend buying whole beans and grinding only when making your brew.
