About This Coffee

Compadre is a blend from Espírito Santo, Brazil, combining 50% Conilon (Robusta) from the Magiero family farm in São Mateus at 80 meters altitude with 50% Arabica from the Romão family farm in Castelo at 1200 meters altitude. Varieties include Conilon (Robusta), Catuaí 81, and Catucaí 785. Both components undergo natural pulped processing where the pulp is removed and the mucilage is dried. The coffee features a dark roast profile with roasted nuts, spice, and dark chocolate flavor notes. This espresso delivers a rich, full-bodied texture with powerful spicy notes of dark chocolate from the Robusta component, balanced by hazelnut notes and smooth texture from the Arabica beans.

Kaffeemacher

Kaffeemacher was founded in Basel in 2009 by Benjamin Hohlmann, growing out of his work managing Unternehmen Mitte, one of Switzerland's largest coffee houses. The operation began roasting commercially in 2017 after years of developing a clear roasting philosophy, and today encompasses a roastery in the Gundeli district, a Coffee Academy with over 8,000 course participants, award winning cafes, and a mobile coffee bar. Benjamin holds SCA trainer certification and lectures on coffee at ZHAW Wädenswil. The team co owns Finca Santa Rita, a coffee farm in northern Nicaragua, and sources from partner farms in ten countries through long term relationships. Kaffeemacher swept four of the top five places at the 2024 Swiss Roasting Championships, with all roasters on the team having learned their craft in house. Transparency runs deep: the company publishes a Common Good Balance Sheet and is a signatory to The Pledge for transparent green coffee buying.
