This is our ultimate crowd pleaser. Smooth Operator is meant to hit all the right notes and remind you back to your Sunday morning coffee. It's a very chocolatey coffee that's nicely balanced with caramel sweetness and almond roundness.

If you're new to our coffee and you're unfamiliar with juicy or bright coffees, Smooth Operator is the right place to start.

The coffee in Smooth Operator right now comes from a group of small producers in the remote region of Chirripó, in the south of Costa Rica. You can read more about them below.

Sourced from the Chirripó region of Costa Rica, the Smooth Operator Filter by Revolver Coffee highlights the classic profile often associated with high-quality Central American beans. This lot undergoes a washed process, a method typically employed to emphasize a clean, crisp acidity and a refined clarity in the cup. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, producers can better showcase the inherent characteristics of the bean, which in this instance results in a profile defined by toffee, dark chocolate, and toasted almond.

When evaluating such profiles, enthusiasts often reference the flavor wheel to identify the nuances between nutty and confectionery notes. While washed coffees are frequently celebrated for their bright, balanced structure, the specific terroir of Chirripó provides a distinct foundation for these comforting, dessert-like flavors. This selection serves as an excellent example of how traditional processing techniques can highlight depth and sweetness in a balanced filter brew.
