The yeast inoculated natural process involves introducing specific yeast strains to the coffee during fermentation, which amplifies aromatic compounds and adds a pronounced floral and fruit character that straight washed or conventional natural coffees typically don't have. Blending the two origins lets Monogram balance that expressiveness with a steadier, cleaner base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Funky Infusions\" label Monogram uses refers to coffees that have been fermented with added yeast cultures, a technique borrowed from winemaking and brewing that gives producers more control over the flavour direction of the final cup. It's increasingly common at farms experimenting with post-harvest processing, and the results can vary widely. Monogram's version here is intentionally dialed toward approachability rather than maximum intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEasy Mode is designed as a starting point for people curious about this style of coffee. The blend is built so the processing character comes through clearly without being jarring, and it's forgiving enough to brew well across different methods, from a pour over to an Aeropress to a standard drip machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Monogram\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBen Put, Justin, and Jeremy started Monogram after meeting as baristas and finding that specialty coffee at the time felt exclusionary in a way that bothered them. They wanted to build something more open. Their first setup was a hand-built coffee cart, and the Altadore neighbourhood cafe in Calgary followed in 2014.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBen Put has won the Canadian Barista Championship seven times and placed third at the 2025 World Barista Championship. Monogram's sourcing reflects that competition background: they work directly with producers like Mariana Iturralde at Finca Takesi, Jamison Savage at Finca Deborah, the Lamastus family at Elida Estate in Panama, and Daterra in Brazil, prioritizing long-term relationships over one-off lots. Their roasting philosophy centers on hitting what they call a \"Sweet Spot,\" avoiding both the sharp acidity of underdeveloped roasts and the bitterness of overdeveloped ones.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monogram","offers":[{"title":"2 lb","offer_id":45559259955260,"sku":"B2B-monogram-easy-mode-907","price":66.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":45559259988028,"sku":"B2B-monogram-easy-mode-2268","price":163.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0677\/2880\/1852\/files\/monogram-coffee-easy-mode-guatemala-colombia-blend-filter.png?v=1781806172","url":"https:\/\/stillwatercoffee.ca\/products\/b2b-monogram-easy-mode","provider":"Stillwater Coffee Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
