About

Finca La Llama is owned by the Rodríguez family as part of the Fincas Los Rodríguez project and managed by Agricafe, the family’s processing and exporting company. The family are now starting to see the benefits of making some interesting and bold changes to the farm. They embarked on a thorough renovation of the coffee and shade trees. Coffee plants were pulled out to make more room for sunlight to the remaining trees which were extensively pruned to promote vigorous growth. Shade trees were not spared, they were also pruned heavily to bring in more light. None of this pruning went to waste, it was all used as firewood to drive the mechanical dryers at Agricafe’s processing station. During the pruning project, Agricafe took the opportunity to reorganise the farm corralling the same varietals together into plots and removing unproductive varietals which did not adapt to the climate and soil type at the farm.

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.
