India Monsooned Malabar Roasted For Drip Or Espresso

This coffee is my go to, 90% of the time.

I like the Indian Monsooned Malabar from GB. I prefer to brew this type of coffee on a Baratza Vituroso with ceramic burrs. (Will try it on a cermaic conical as well at some point). I seem to get the least amount of "earthiness" (still learning descriptors). Not only this but may have found a brew method that leaves none of the earthy, unpleasant tastes, in conjuction with the ceramic burrs. I need to do more testing to make sure before sharing (but will be glad to). I would like to do a video, but cannot at this time. Here is my first recipe used that I also like. On BV grinder about setting 3.2 or 1000 microns med coarser side. 3rd wwave water using medium profile water temp. 190F. Melitta Trapezoid/Cafec trapezoid filter paper. Brew using Osmotic flow technique: 1 1/2 times water of grinds used for bloom (or stop when water starts to drain out). Wait 30 seconds. Pulse pour very slow (about 2ml/second) in the center only and stop when if that bubble is going to burst. Also, do not let that bubble go flat; speed up the pour just enough to prevent that - usually no more than 3ml/second. I do this up to appx 100 grams. Then do about a quarter size pour very slow. You do not want water coming up through the bed. If it starts to look like this, pause the poor, but do not let that bubble flatten out, resume with a very slow pour if it does. Continue with this until finished. I also like small brews using this method using the Cafec Deep 47 brewer. Hope this will work out if anyone tries it. Cheers.

I’m relatively new to these types of coffees I’m more of the Bronx NYC bodega coffee drinker but I bought a breville barista touch and these beans and I’m in tears because I’m no longer a bodega coffee drinker lol I will be ordering this and others and tell all the bodega coffee drinkers I know they better switch to Good Brothers Coffees

Very good. Tons of creama.

I loved it

Indian Monsoon beans espresso shot and some condensed milk. Is there anything more beautiful than a fresh cup of coffee?

This blend was recommended to me by a friend. It has been my go to since then. Makes for a great cup of espresso or latte.

Superb as always. My absolute favorite never disappoints! Good Brothers is the best out there!

Monsoon -- Can't wake up to face the day without it. I'm completely addicted!

Great flavor, super thick crema at a reasonable price. Pricier specialty option are great once in a while but India Monsooned and Neapolitan are my must haves.

I grew up on a coffee farm in South India. I really love the Monsooned Malabar. It is indeed rich and salty perfect for a rainy day. Brings back memories of rainy days in my Family's coffee farm.

It was refreshing to taste Robusta beans that captured such unique notes

Complex, slightly salty. makes a decent espresso

Nice crema, very low acidity. My go to for espresso.

Always a fantastic roast!

Great notes and crema!

As always consistent and my absolute favorite blend!

Ordered an old flavor I hadn’t had in a while as well as a new flavor. The Indian Monsoon Malabar however is my old standby and continues to be my all time favorite. Please don’t ever discontinue this one! It’s the absolute best of the beat and is always consistent!

As always this is a great blend for a daily cappuccino or latte. My favorite! Good Brothers has the best coffee blends.

I’ve really enjoyed getting my coffee beans from Good Brothers, the blend of flavors are the proper way to start the day. I’m not alone either, every guest that tries the espresso made from India Monsooned Malabar says that it’s some of the best coffee they’ve had. All Good Brothers coffee beans are freshly roasted within a week or less of me receiving them. Also I can’t say enough great things about the customer service at Good Brothers. They are very professional and will work with you to help answer any questions you may have. I give their coffee and customer service 5 stars and look forward to many more cups of exquisite coffee for my family and my guests, highly recommend trying India Monsooned Malabar!

This blend remains consistent every time I purchase it. Crema is great as is the flavor. Makes an exceptional espresso. Very easy to dial in. Perfect. Good Brothers is awesome!

Loved it! One of the best tasting coffee good brothers has to offer!

My go to for my espresso cart

As always this blend continues to be the best and flavor is always consistent and freshly roasted. It’s my absolute favorite! Please always carry this blend!

This a a great cup of coffee, sweet tasting and great as a cappuccin, and even better in a aeropress!

I love the idea of being able to get 4oz bags to sample different coffees to see if they suit your tastes. I loved this so much I bought 2lbs of it

Still good but it seems to be slightly less roasted than last time. I do prefer it a bit darker. Heavy mouth feel loads of crema and that pungent bite that I am accustomed to with this type of coffee. Personally, I find it shines in a cortado where it has a toffee like taste.

My go to bean. I serve many family members and friends and for espresso I cant find anything better.

Love this bean. It’s has a thick and syrupy body that we adore.

I bought 3 bags this time and wanted to wait until I had started the 3rd bag. As always I am completely blown away by not only how good this blend is but for how long. I am now 57 days after the roast date and it’s still just as good as it was on my first bag. I keep this unopened in a baggie with all the air squeezed out until ready to use. When opened I dose out what I will have the next morning and place them in a small amber jar. I keep them in my cabinet for the next morning. Squeezing all the air out of the bag and baggie placing it back in the freezer works really well for me. This is my routine and it works perfectly to have a far better cup of espresso than I feel that I have ever gotten in a coffee shop. Thanks Good Brothers you are totally awesome and your customer service cannot be beat!

The quality of their coffee is outstanding, and their commitment to sourcing beans from ethical and sustainable sources is commendable. Whether you're in the mood for a classic espresso or a specialty bean, Good Brothers consistently delivers on taste and presentation. Prices are reasonable, making it an accessible option for a daily caffeine fix. I highly recommend Good Brothers to anyone seeking a delightful coffee experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☕️

Great coffee. Always super fresh.

As always this Malabar blend continues to be my absolute favorite espresso that I have ever tried. It’s always consistent. The Crema is always perfect but disappears slightly just enough for me to achieve the best latte art. If the Crema doesn’t dissolve somewhat my latte art is always just too thick. This blend is just right and my latte art is so easy to do. My latte art may not be perfect by a true barista’s viewpoint but I am always pleased with it which to me is what’s the most important. It doesn’t hurt that this blend also tastes fantastic. Smooth and rich for my morning without being too heavy. It’s truly awesome!

Monsoon coffee - earthy and so easy going down. I've been addicted to Monsoon coffee for several years, and BY A LONGSHOT, Good Brothers has the best. I found my tribe. No more buying coffee, I'd rather go home and make my own ;).

This blend is always consistently good. It’s probably my favorite of all I think. It’s rich and deep enough for an espresso at anytime of the day without being too heavy and filling. Just absolutely perfect! Well done you guys!

Very low acidity, nice crema and a taste of chocolate combined with a little hint of salt.

This coffee is amazing, look forward to it every morning when I get up. Have tried a lot of coffee over the years but this one is the one I keep going with. Highly recommended from a seasoned coffee enthusiast.

To help prevent burnout and promote doing nice things for myself daily, I've made this my everyday coffee. It is perfect for my homemade cortado, my husband's lattes and Americanos, or even as a simple espresso. I can't speak for other flavors because this one has worked so well for me and I don't want any other coffee at home. Thank you, Good Brothers, for this wonderful flavor.

Coffee is my passion. MONSOON coffee is my latest addiction. I've tried many, and have now found the best. Good Brother's Monsoon Coffee is mellow, feels good in the mouth and in the tummy. It's smooth and reminds me a bit of what "cowboy coffee" might taste like -- no nonsense, real, smokey cuppa joe. For the first time in my life, I'm on an auto ship for these beans, I don't ever want to be caught without it in the morning! Every bag has a roasting date, proving just how fresh it is, and it shows.

This coffee has amazing crema and flavor. A lot of Co2 in this one for sure. Has great chocolate notes and very is very smooth.

My favorite coffee beans I’ve ever used. I look forward every bag that shows up on my porch. A very smooth blend of coffee, always makes me look forward to my morning cup of coffee!

Lighter roast than I expected and I was ready for that but didn't know it! Full flavor and smooth taste.

I am the ultimate coffee snob -- nope, I never drink coffee out... prefer my own. Strictly Monsoon coffee the past several years - earthy, smokey, "cowboy" coffee, smooth and zero bitterness. I've researched, ordered and enjoyed many brands! But for me, this Good Brother's version stood out -- it is far superior to them all. For the first time, after decades of moving around from roaster to roaster, I'm using a *SUBSCRIPTION* so I never run out. Yup, that good.

Firstly, the coffee is much better than my attempt at Latte Art! Lol....However, the coffee itself is amazing! Its great as a straight shot and works very well with milk as well! I taste notes of Malt, and a kinda salty flavor along with kind of leather notes! It's a very unique tasting coffee but still traditional enough to please a myriad of pallets!

This is phenomenal is a ristretto. I recommend a 1: 1.5 ratio and a shot time of about 30 secs. It's complex, creamy, and classic with an edge. It's what an espresso shot should be, and then more. This is not for light roast lovers. I'm not one of those, although I am open to all flavors and enjoy them. But this one is bold, dark-ish, and thick. Highly recommend!

Review written by the 19-time consecutive winner of The Coffee Aroma Descriptors Foundation™, Kevin Bartram III Immediately opening the fresh roasted bag of IMM, I was transported to the southern Malabar Coast of Kerala about to board a trade goods vessel in 1879. Whole crops of the finest cherry coffee surround me in preparation for todays barbecue roast. The temptation to drink results was unbearable, but I had to resist. I knew the journey of these beans had just begun. Four months later of exposing the adolescent beans to monsoon winds and rain, they had aged to perfection. It was time to take the first sip. Tasting notes: Salt, Caramel, Seagull squawks & Ocean Waves Would I recommend this coffee? Yes. There is nothing more fulfilling than telling people you only drink Indian Monsoon Malabar beans. *This review was not written by AI*

Love this bean! It’s syrupy and delicious!!

Love this bean! So syrupy and delicious!!

The first Indian coffee I tried, and it was very good. Really am enjoying it.

Wonderful as straight shots or in milk drinks. So far, this is my favorite!

I made the mistake of opening the first bag of Good Bros Indian Monsoon last night -- the smell from the bag stuck in my head, and I woke up WAAAAY too early to try a first cup! WOWZA, it exceeded expectations -- for a gal that has an obsession with monsoon coffees, this would qualify as the best I've had. Smokey, "forest-y" (is that a word?) -- like what I think Cowboy Coffee would taste like. Unlike any other coffee I've had in life.... monsooned coffee has altered what I expect coffee to be, and Good Brothers: YOU NAILED IT and then some. Off to subscribe and save, every morning needs to start with this exact coffee!!!!

Great taste and super fresh

Excellent flavor and Crema

Phenomenal, hints of saltiness that cut through milk with a rich mocha body. Good hot or cold.

I just finished my first bag and was surprised how much I enjoyed the taste! The saltiness was subtle and not overdone. I will definitely buy this again.

I look forward to the first of every month because that’s when I get my coffee beans of monsoon Malabar. My favorite coffee I’ve ever had! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I love the freshness of the coffee beans. The random coffee bean delivery is amazing.

This is by far is one of my favorite coffees ! Everything about it is great. Whether you drink it with milk or espresso alone. Can't go wrong with this choice!

Very good sweetness. Medium body. Good finish. It it the the richness aspect I have not been able to obtain. Still searching for the right recipe.

It was a turnip instead of a tulip. Sorry for the botched art. This batch didn’t seem to have the same roasting profile I had from previous orders. Less crema, less pronounced flavors. Not as fresh. But overall better than most cafes. Hope the next batch returns to what I’m accustomed to.

It is salty. The taste is just like sitting on the beach and filled with ocean smell. Very rare and special taste for coffee. Definitely worth a try.

18g dose with a 40g output, WDT and shower screen. Brew temp: 99C Grinder: La-Cimbali JR Rancilio Slivia with 20g IMS basket. Excellent crema with very low bitterness and slight acidity.Good body and the saltiness is noticeable. Overall a very interesting coffee, a nice change from my casual Star-B French Roast. When I got the bean the roast was 1 week old.

Great coffee, can't wait for my next order!

Love the smell and the taste is amazing!

Everyone loved it!

Delicious.

My favorite beans from goodbrotherscoffee

Easy to dial in. Consistently great tasting shots with loads of crema. Used to get Liquid Amber, but the oily beans created issues with my grinder after a while.

Very rich and bright flavors in espresso shots with a note of salt at finish. Works with milk or straight up.

Super fresh. It was easing to identify the proper grind setting just by looking at the beans. The crema was brilliant. The fast profile.. on point

Very good coffee that coffee is unique definitely you can taste salty notes and the crema is a lot I recommend

just delicious

By far one of our favorites! Sold by one of our favorite companies! Thank you Good Brothers for the superb customer service!

We love this blend, we take pride in dialing our expresso machine to extract the decadent flavors in these beans, it is the tastiest expresso I have ever had - and I am a coffee guy - I am talking better than Panther coffee, Blue bottle, and even Lá Colombe Coffee. These are major specialty coffee roasters. The crema on this is like no other, great for your daily expresso or a weekend, machiatto, latte, or cappuccino. Have fun and impress your guests with the amazing story behind good brothers fresh to order roaring process and fair trade coffee sourcing. It's an amazing company to support and a great product to have at home, you'll never want to run out! We love it, hope you do as well!

It’s really creamy and has a very good consistency body.

Rich crema and flavor. Not as dark as I’m accustomed to but great tasting nonetheless. Fresh beans, fast delivery, and outstanding customer support.

I have tried various other brand. Always in a coming back to Good Brothers.

I am a beginner at brewing espresso with an espresso machine. So, every time I brew an espresso, I get nervous. When brewing espresso with Good Brothers coffee beans, however, I am more excited than nervous. This is because I know that the espresso extraction goes very well without a lot of dial-in when I use Good Brothers coffee beans. Good Brothers coffee beans are very well roasted and very fresh. I was very satisfied with ‘Espresso Blend’ coffee beans which I ordered a few weeks ago. So, a few days ago I ordered ‘India Monsooned Malabar’ coffee beans which are highly recommended by many people. Today I am very happy to pull a beautiful and creamy shot with it. Thank you, Good Brothers!

Absolutely loved the taste of this roast so much that I had to come back to it. Great flavor that breaks through the milk and makes my mornings awesome!

I can’t stop buying this one. It’s my go-to. So much creaminess and flavor. Never a disappointment. Love it.

I love Good Brothers coffee! This one has very rich creama.

After trying a few other beans of similar roasts trying to perfect the taste of some espresso drinks I was after, this roast was awesome right off the bat. I took in a recommendation and won’t look back. I’ll be happy to have Good Brothers coffee in my pantry when I want a great tasting cup of coffee. As you can see, the macchiato I have to the left tasted fantastic and is my style of the famous Starbucks variant of a hot Macchiato.

Crema crema forever luv this coffee so fresh

Goodbrotherscoffee is my first choice always.

Amazing bold taste either was a shot or latte. Will be ordering again. BTW, the smell enhances the experience.

Never had a bad experience. Coffee is amazing, customer service is even better!

Super Crema indeed! The aroma and afternotes of earthly spices! Love this particular roast, blends well with the Spanish latte that I love to make. Definitely getting more of it!

Best tasting coffee crema, crema, crema forever!!!

Beans are of great quality, low acid and full of flavor. I highly recommend a membership as its the best way to receive your high quality beans exactly when you are about o run out.

I do not taste the salty flavor from this but is rich syrupy. I like it for expresso more than pour over. I am trying some more beans and I think I am hook on coffee.

Love this company and their products. Customer service is outstanding. Keep up the good work!

Rich, thick, creamy crema! What's not to love?

My favorite coffee beans from goodbrotherscoffee. Love it

This bag of beans was absolutely amazing!! I cannot wait to share more videos about these beans on my TikTok!!

Crema for days! Super syrupy espresso shots. Great for milk based drinks, nice bold flavor!

Delicious, syrupy, and balanced with a slight hint of salt. My favorite about this bean is the heavenly crema!

This is my second order for this coffee as it grew on me the more I drank it the first time. Something about this makes me want to take another sip every time I drink it.

Excellent crema, full body flavors, extremely good as espresso or cappuccino's. Definitely will recommend and buy more! Stay caffinated!

Just starting out on my coffee journey and am loving GB various fresh roasted coffee beans! Today, I purchased Uganda Bugisu organic beans and can't wait to taste it! Highly recommend!

This is my second bag of India Monsooned Malabar. So delicious! Fresh roasted and super fast shipping. Can’t wait to try their other specialties!
