About This Coffee

This coffee is sourced from Finca Santa Rita and Friends in Dipilto, Nicaragua, and produced by Claudia Lobo of Bridazul. It is a blend of Caturra, Catuaí, and Catimor varieties. The coffee undergoes a unique processing method where cherries are fermented in a cold room for two weeks before being dried as a natural process on raised beds. The flavor profile features notes of red currant, passion fruit, floral hints, fruity chocolate, magnolia, and tropical fruits, characterized by a heavy, dense body and vibrant acidity.

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.
