About

The Burbano Moncayo family have owned Finca Las Palmeras for the last 45 years and the family have always worked in coffee. Diana Burbano Moncayo, her siblings, and parents Franco Javier Burbano and Imelda Moncayo all contribute to the running of the farm. Each has their own area of work and responsibility. Alongside the coffee, the farm produces plantain and fruit for the local markets. Like many farmers, the family has a schedule of longer-term maintenance. They recently completed a second floor to the main house to give them more space to dry their coffee and expanded their micro-beneficio in order to cope with the amount of cherry they process during the crop. On a larger scale, the family have joined forces with their neighbours to work on a community irrigation project.

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.
