San Lucas

About This Coffee

This filter coffee originates from San Lucas Zoquiápam in the Sierra Flores de Magón region of Oaxaca, Mexico. Produced by farmers from Los Frailes and San Juan la Unión communities, this coffee features Typica and Bourbon varieties grown in one of Mexico's highest and coolest growing regions. The washed processing method contributes to a full body and smooth texture with crystalline acidity. Tasting notes include blackcurrant, baked apple, and caramel. The coffee benefits from traditional milpa cultivation alongside fruit and timber trees, following sustainable and ecological principles. Slow maturation at high altitude with significant day-night temperature variations develops the pronounced, juicy 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.
