About

Finca Galeras is located on the slopes of the Galeras Volcano at 2033m above sea level making this is one of the highest farms we buy from in Nariño. The trees on the farm are all between ten and eighteen years old. Roberto has preserved the trees on the farm rather than replanting as he believes with maintenance and good pruning there is no need to replace the older trees. Despite all the difficulties of the pandemic, one benefit for Roberto has been being able to share more time and coffee knowledge with his son, Jeison Andrés Melo. Jeison Andres is studying and in his last semester of Business Administration in the city of Pasto. His studies have taken him away from the farm but now his college is doing all lessons online, he has been able to help his father in harvesting and managing the farm. Roberto is very grateful and happy because his son's support has made it easier for him to work on this harvest during these demanding times.

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.
