Three Marks Coffee

About This Coffee

This coffee is an AA grade from Kenya, sourced from smallholder producers in Western and Central Kenya at altitudes between 1400-2000 meters. The coffee is composed primarily of Ruiru 11, SL28, and SL34 varieties. It is fully washed processed - farmers handpick ripe cherries which are pulped, fermented, and washed to remove mucilage. The wet parchment is hand sorted and dried on raised beds for about two weeks before being milled at Kahawa Bora Millers. Part of the Sucafina Originals range, this coffee features flavor notes of blackcurrant, lemon peel, and clove. Harvested in 2025.

Three Marks Coffee

The name is a play on its founders: Marc Aguye, Marco Paccagnella, and Marco De Rebotti, three friends who all share variations of the same first name. Marc and Marco De Rebotti had worked together at Nomad Coffee, while Marco Paccagnella was a regular customer who happened to work in an office above the Nomad space. They launched Three Marks in Barcelona's Fort Pienc neighborhood in 2018. De Rebotti, an Italian who handles all things coffee and roasting, spent three and a half years at his previous operation absorbing skills before taking the leap. The interiors are deliberately minimal: high ceilings, giant windows, and Marzocco Modbar machines at the bar. Three Marks collaborates closely with producers in Colombia, Ethiopia, and Kenya, and offers extraction through V60, Chemex, Aeropress, espresso, and cold brew. The team believes 90 percent of people in the coffee industry are good people, and that the specialty community grows best together.
