About

Finca Altamira is a family run farm in San Agustín, Huila. The farm is small, only some six hectares one of which 3.5 are planted with coffee and up until recently access has been limited to a single track. Building the access road to the farm was the most critical project and has had the biggest impact on the lives of the family members. It is often the ancillary projects that also have the largest impacts on the quality of the coffee – the family needed the road so that they could travel to and from the farm with ease, bringing in equipment and resources needed to harvest the crop, and get the crop out in good condition to the buying points. We have been buying coffee from the Buesaco family for over ten years, and this crop is one of the best with its jammy fruit and balanced profile.

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.
