San Lucas - Café filtre du Mexique

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 is a blend of Typica and Bourbon varieties processed using the washed method. The coffee grows at high altitudes in one of Mexico's coolest growing regions, where harvest begins in March. The beans develop slowly due to significant day-night temperature variations, contributing to a pronounced, juicy acidity. This late-harvest coffee features a full body with smooth texture and bright acidity reminiscent of East African coffees. The flavor profile includes blackcurrant, baked apple, and caramel with sweet notes.

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.
