Our coffee bar

Espresso, taken seriously.

Last updated

Cafe Meria is a specialty espresso and coffee bar at 101 Mason St in downtown Charlevoix, Michigan. We buy coffee from specialty roasters, and when we taste something amazing, we might just switch to it. We make our own syrups, or use real things like raw honey and pure maple, and nothing on the menu is made with seed oils. There is house music on the speakers.

What are we pouring right now?

Bandido, roasted in Brooklyn by Café Integral. It blends a washed coffee from Nicaragua with a natural from Brazil, roasted medium-dark. Pulled well, you may taste caramel, burnt sugar, roasted almonds and a little dried red fruit. That is the bean and the roast. We add nothing.

Alongside it we pour The Answer, roasted in Santa Cruz, California by Cat & Cloud. It is their flagship blend, made for both brewed coffee and espresso. Fruit, chocolate and caramel; in milk it turns to caramel and butterscotch.

The roaster's recipe for Bandido

Dose
18.5 g
Yield
36 to 38 g
Time
about 23 to 26 seconds
Rest
7 to 10 days off roast

That is Café Integral's starting point for Bandido. Every bag is dialed in from there, by taste, at our bar.

Why do the beans change?

Because we love coffee, and how different one can be from the next. No single roaster has every great coffee, so when we taste one we love, it can go on the bar. Each new coffee gets its grind, dose and time worked out again until it tastes the way its roaster meant it to. Ask at the counter what is on today.
