About

Tibebu Roba was born in Dilla where he grew up helping his father farm coffee. As an adult Tibebu worked for the church in Chelchele where he noticed the land was ideal for growing coffee, the rich red-brown, loamy soil is highly suitable for coffee plants. Tibebu bought a small parcel of land in 1982 and set up his farm. The farm is in western Chelchele and at a high-altitude of 2100 meters and is now 8.3 hectares large. We bought this lot of coffee through Trabocca’s Operation Cherry Red programme. The programme exists to identify farmers with great coffee who ordinarily would be lost in the cooperative system. Provided the farm meets the Ethiopian Coffee Exchange’s criteria, farmers are able to bypass the auction system, obtain an export license and sell directly to foreign buyers. Trabocca have been instrumental in helping find great coffee and help farmers through the system of export and we all benefit from this project, the farmers receive the premium that their quality of coffee deserves, and we get great tasting coffee.

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.
