El Botón

About This Coffee

El Botón is a blend consisting of 70% organic Arabica from the Sierra Mixteca region in Oaxaca, Mexico, and 30% Robusta from the Macenta region in Guinea. The Mexican Arabica, comprising Bourbon, Mundo Novo, and Typica varieties, is washed, while the Guinean Robusta is honey-processed. This coffee offers a flavor profile characterized by notes of caramel, hazelnut, and a mellow body. It is specifically roasted to perform well in automatic coffee machines, providing a balanced experience suitable for both espresso and longer coffee preparations.

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.
