About

Finca Las Alasitas is owned and operated by Agricafe who realised in 2012 that for them to continue to process and market coffee they would need to increase their supply of coffee cherry. Unfortunately, coffee production in Bolivia has been on the decline for several years now as the internal market prices, coupled with more lucrative trade in other crops, has seen several farmers abandon coffee. Agricafe started growing coffee at Finca Las Alasitas just a few years ago and originally planted Java, Gesha and Caturra cultivars. They are operating the farm using agricultural best practice to show other farmers in the area what is possible and how to increase their crop quantity and quality and therefore their incomes. Please visit agricafe.com.bo to learn more about their story and their projects.

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.
