About This Coffee

This espresso blend combines coffees from four origins: 25% Zambia from Monte Sunzu processed naturally, 25% Mexico from Oxom washed, 25% Costa Rica from Aquiares Estate washed, and 25% Nicaragua from Dipilto washed. The blend features various Arabica varieties with 75% washed and 25% natural processing. Roasted as a 25kg batch for 14 minutes and 50 seconds with a 15% development time, this coffee exhibits dark fruit, nougat, and velvety flavor notes. The darker roast emphasizes rich body from the washed components while the natural processed coffee contributes fruity characteristics reminiscent of dark stone fruit.

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.
