About

Finca Don Carlos is owned and operated by Agricafe as part of their Fincas Los Rodríguez project. Agricafe started growing coffee at Finca Don Carlos, named in honour of Carlos Mariaca - their first farm manager, just a few years ago. This year, Finca Don Carlos is going through a period of pruning and renovation. After series of trials the Rodríguez are now planting their coffee plots in wider rows and with closer spacing between plants. This allows more sunlight and better nutrient distribution which benefits the health of the trees. Geisha, Caturra and Catuaí continue to be the main varietals planted at Finca Don Carlos. This season we have selected the Catuaí varietal which was dried on raised beds using the honey process.

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.
