About This Coffee

This coffee comes from Finca Santa Rita in Dipilto, Nicaragua, from an experimental field called "mil variedades" located approximately 100 meters higher than the main Santa Rita farm. The Parainema variety is a resistant hybrid developed in southern Honduras to withstand root nematodes. The cherries undergo a 240-hour anaerobic fermentation in barrels, followed by drying in the whole cherry for 26 days in the shade. This extended contact time between the coffee bean and fruit flesh creates a broad aromatic spectrum with flavors of grapes, blood orange, and a dense, complex character.

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.
