About

Finca El Fuerte is one of Agricafe’s farms in the Samaipata region. The Samaipata region has great potential for specialty coffee but also has great challenges as the region deals with extreme temperature fluctuations; it has very cold nights which makes growing coffee potentially risky as frost damage is always a concern and it can get very hot during the day. However, it is these cold nights that help to extend the ripening season as the coffee fruit-sugars develop slowly which results in a nice balance in the coffee. We are delighted to have this natural process, caturra varietal from El Fuerte this year. Its dried fruit and heavy sweetness show the natural process method at its full potential.

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.
