About

We have been buying coffee from Finca La Granja for several years now and are always impressed by its juicy red plum flavours and jammy body. Ezequiel Macario Castillo Erazo has made a lot of improvements to the farm and processing facilities over the last few years and the results are gratifying for him. In the last year Ezequiel has built a new micro-beneficio and installed a new pulper and fermentation tank. This has reduced the bottleneck that used to cause problems in the processing. These kinds of things can make a tangible difference, not only in the quality of the coffee, but also easing the stress on infrastructure and everyone working the harvest. This year Ezequiel plans to build a new patio to help the drying of the coffee, as the reduction in the bottleneck upstream in the process has meant more drying space is needed downstream! The next big project will be a collaboration with his neighbours Roberto Melo (Finca Galeras) and Juan Carlos Pascuaza (Finca Alto Grande). Together they plan to improve the access road to their farms. This will be a major project and will help them get supplies to the farms, and the coffee out after the harvest.

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.
