We found this coffee through our friends at Prisma Coffee. Eduardo Ambrocio and his team have been working with Cooperativa El Sendero (The Path Cooperative) to help improve their quality control and identify specialty coffees. The cooperative was founded in 2018, with 13 farms and has since grown to 635 small-holding members. Each member delivers coffee to the cooperative, where the exceptional lots are separated and sold to specialty buyers like us for a premium. The premium is paid to the delivering cooperative member and is a recognition of the quality of the coffee. This year’s lot was grown by Juan Marcos. El Sendero is a particularly interesting cooperative. Their focus recognising both quality and quantity in coffee production is special. Not all high-grown, single estate, and single varietal coffee would be high quality, but it still needs to be sold. By selling to both specialty and commercial buyers, the cooperative has diversified their income streams and is able to acknowledge growers of the best coffees. Their exposure to the commercial market means they have an avenue for their large volume as well.

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.
