About This Coffee

This Brazilian coffee comes from the Monte Belo region in southeastern Brazil at 900-1100 meters altitude. It is a family-owned farm product processed using the Pulped Natural method. The coffee features Arabica varieties including Mundo Novo, Catuaí, Icatú, and Bourbon. It offers a smooth, buttery body with flavors of nougat, cocoa nibs, and figs. Roasted to a medium level (3/5), this coffee is specifically designed for espresso preparation where the roast helps manage acidity. It produces a balanced, aromatic espresso particularly well-suited for milk-based drinks.

Maillardos

A married couple from two coffee worlds built this roastery: Uriel from the Swiss German town of Rheineck and Raquel from San Jose, Costa Rica. The name pays tribute to Louis Camille Maillard (1878–1936), the scientist behind the Maillard reaction responsible for the complex aromas that develop during roasting. What started as a crowdfunded show roastery has grown into a certified organic operation (CH Bio 086) with a dedicated production facility in Altenrhein, where a Loring roaster runs on 100% regional biogas. Every batch is roasted for 8 to 16 minutes under close supervision, with Cropster software and regular tastings ensuring consistency and continuous improvement. Maillardos sources traceable coffees from smaller producers, paying well above commodity exchange prices, and packages everything in fully recyclable materials.
