About

Altamira – The Lookout – sits on top of a steep hill in Huila, Colombia. Until 2020 the farm was only accessible by foot, so all the farm materials and things for the house were brought in by pack horse, and the coffee crop returned down the hill the same way. Grading, gravelling and contouring the new road has been a years long project, and now aside from a few twists and turns that need easing, the road is complete. This is an important improvement to the farm, and we are delighted to have been able to help with the project. Don Fabio describes the road as a trophy for the whole family. It has been years of work and they can all now access the local market and schools more easily.

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.
