From the roaster

Cup profile-wise, Funcrusher Plus is Hathaway with some extra development. Chocolate. Easy to "use it however you want". 

 

The roast won't be dark and oily, we're not doing that. It'll be familiar to what we already do but the beans will look bigger. ;) 

We wanted something to keep people from buying grocery coffee or "the darker one" at the other shop.

Funcrusher Plus is a name we picked before we knew how we'd use it. It can be shortened to FC+, which, if you remember how Sweet Maria's used to classify coffee or how some of the fossils used to discuss profiles, was akin to: "something darker than what Bows is doing". And, it's one of the best albums we ever knew.

 

Coffee your parents, grandparents and even "discerning" friends can all enjoy.

Context

Funcrusher Plus, offered by Bows & Arrows Coffee, presents a profile centered on classic, comforting sweetness. By highlighting notes of caramel, nougat, and almond brittle, this selection leans into the sugary, confectionary side of the spectrum. Coffees that emphasize these specific profiles often provide a balanced, approachable cup that pairs exceptionally well with milk or serves as a reliable daily brew for those who prefer a structured, nutty foundation over bright acidity.

When evaluating such profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better understand how these sweet, toasted characteristics relate to broader sensory categories. While some coffees are celebrated for their vibrant fruit or floral complexity, this particular lot focuses on the rich, dessert-like qualities that define a well-developed roast. Understanding these distinctions allows drinkers to better navigate the diverse landscape of specialty coffee and identify the specific flavor profiles that best suit their personal preferences.
