About

Finca Don Carlos is another super coffee from the Rodríguez family. The Rodríguez's own a few small farms in Caranavi, as well as operating a buying point for local farmers to deliver cherry. The family act as a conduit between specialty coffee producers and specialty roasters, enabling small farmers to get their coffees to an international market, and access to great coffees for roasters like us. After some years of renovation and reorganising, Finca Don Carlos is almost up to normal production levels. The renovations have helped deliver good nutrition to the plants and allow more sunlight. However, this last crop has seen a bit too much sun which delayed development of the harvest. The lack of water meant that the cherry took longer to develop than usual and caused the harvest to be a month late.

Grind Guide

Cafetière

A coarse grind also suitable for cold brew. We use the word cafetière, but this can also be referred to as a French press, plunger or press pot.

Aeropress slow

Suitable for making a long, filter style coffee, often brewed for a few minutes. Similar to our paper filter setting.

Filter

This is suitable for our paper filters and ceramic or plastic cones, along with other brands such as V60, Clever dripper and Melitta.

Stovetop

This is an espresso style grind suitable for use in hob top espresso pots such as a Bialetti or Grunwerg. Sometimes referred to as a moka pot.

Aeropress fast

This is also an espresso style grind ideal for brewing a short, concentrated, espresso style coffee in an Aeropress.

Domestic espresso

A fine grind for using in your home espresso machine. Grind requirements will vary depending on brand and model, but this setting aims to work for the majority of home setups.

Whole beans

For use in your home grinder!

If you use a different method such as a syphon or Chemex, require a custom grind or need some advice, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
