Construction of the new road to Altamira (The Lookout) has now been completed. Turns have been smoothed, gravel has been graded, and car access is now achieved. This has been the most important project at Altamira since the farm was established and we are delighted to have been able to help with it along the way. The family can now access the local market and get their coffee harvest to the bodega easily. Regular readers of the Altamira updates will know how many years this has taken and what the achievement means to the Buesaco family. With the road completed, the family are now looking to redesign their micro beneficio – they will need to invest in processing equipment and extending the fermentation tanks and drying areas. Altamira is a family run farm, and Juan Carlos Buesaco (the youngest of child of the family) is now working with his parents and siblings. His work is entirely focussed on making improvements to the quality of the coffee. By keeping records and meticulous notes, he is gathering the kind of empirical information needed to look for opportunities for improvement. The family receives a lot of feedback about the physical and sensorial quality of their coffee. Correlating this feedback to growing and processing data will help the family improve quality and production on 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.
