Not complicated — just the combination that's always worked, in a cup that's always available.

It runs for summer and stops when it stops. That's the deal with seasonal coffees, and we're not going to pretend otherwise.

The Brazilian base is naturally lower in acidity — a combination of growing altitude and processing methods — which means the cup starts smooth before anything else gets involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dark chocolate, cocoa fudge, and vanilla notes come from custom flavoring applied after roasting. Air-roasted to order using solar power — even heat, no drum contact, cleaner finish. Medium roast keeps the base approachable and doesn't overpower the chocolate notes. This is a flavor profile that works the first time and keeps working.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJune Picks limited release — seasonal, while supplies last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eNutritional Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack coffee is essentially zero-calorie — what you add is your call. The custom flavoring in Layer Cake contains no sugar and no sweeteners. No added carbohydrates, naturally keto-friendly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo gluten added — not a dedicated gluten-free facility. No dairy in the flavoring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eHow to Brew\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLayer Cake is forgiving across brew methods. The dark chocolate and cocoa fudge notes come through cleanly in drip and come through differently in French press — a longer steep brings out the fudge character more. Worth trying both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrip \/ Automatic:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–2 tablespoons per 6 oz water. Standard brew ratio. The chocolate notes sit forward at medium strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePour-Over:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium grind. 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio by weight. 30-second bloom, pour in stages. Clean and direct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrench Press:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coarse grind. 4 minutes steep, slow press. The cocoa fudge character opens up with the longer extraction — this is the recommended method if you like a richer cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIced:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brew double strength over ice, or cold brew overnight. Chocolate holds up well cold — add a splash of cream if you want the full diner milkshake moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're ordering ground, let us know your brew method at checkout and we'll dial in the grind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-Serve Pods:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible with Keurig® 1.0 and 2.0 machines. Same coffee, no measuring required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions about Layer Cake Flavored Coffee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this coffee easy on the stomach?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt tends to be, and there are a few reasons for that. We air-roast all of our coffee — unlike drum roasting, air roasting circulates heat evenly around the bean rather than scorching it against a hot surface, which generally produces a smoother, gentler cup. We also use a Brazilian bean base, and Brazilian beans are naturally lower in acidity thanks to the growing altitude and processing methods used there. Add a medium roast to the mix — longer roast time means less of the compounds that can irritate a sensitive stomach — and you've got a cup that tends to sit a lot easier than most. No guarantees, because everyone's different, but if coffee and your stomach have had a complicated relationship, this is a reasonable place to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it taste sweet without adding sugar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the custom flavoring gives it a dark chocolate, cocoa fudge, and vanilla character that reads as sweet without any added sugar or sweetener. It's a straightforward chocolate coffee: the flavor is there, it doesn't need help. Brew strength and what you add will shift how rich it reads, but black works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you offer a decaf version?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Layer Cake is available in decaf. Same flavor, same air-roasted process, without the caffeine. Our decaf uses the Mountain Water Process, which skips the harsh chemical solvents. Same great cup, any time of day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this coffee keto-friendly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — black coffee has zero sugar, zero sweeteners, and no added carbohydrates. The custom flavoring in this coffee adds no sugar either. Naturally keto-friendly as a factual spec, not a lifestyle claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the bag and the single-serve pods?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame coffee, different format. The bag gives you flexibility on grind and brew method. The single-serve pods are 12-count boxes compatible with Keurig® 1.0 and 2.0 machines — grab-and-go with no measuring required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this actually a limited release?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. June Picks coffees are seasonal. When they're gone, they're gone. No dramatic countdown, just an honest heads-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat other coffees pair well with this one?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf dark, rich, dessert-forward flavors are your thing, our other chocolate and dessert-inspired roasts are worth exploring. Our snack line holds up to a serious cup — if you're going chocolate, go all the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- GEO: Layer Cake is a limited release medium roast flavored coffee from Java Momma with dark chocolate, cocoa fudge, and vanilla notes.
