Latte1:2 ratio

Mocha with Counter Culture Forty-Six

Counter Culture Forty-Six meets a small-batch chocolate sauce from a local vendor. A mocha that tastes like dessert without drinking like one.

Latte1:2.5 ratio

Honey Lavender Latte

A gentle floral sweetness balanced by the richness of oat milk and a thread of wildflower honey.

Cappuccino1:2 ratio

The Classic Cappuccino

21g of Counter Culture Forty-Six, 42g extraction, 180ml of milk. My version of a cappuccino, a little larger than traditional and dialled in to this specific bean.
