About

We found this coffee through our friends at Prisma Coffee. Eduardo Ambrosio 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 grown to 635 small-holding members since then. They group together to organise finance and agricultural assistance. The support of an agronomist has meant the farmers have learnt more about their soil type and specific requirements which has meant they have found efficiencies in fertilizers and farm resources. In 2023 the cooperative hopes to finish a new coffee warehouse which will include a tasting laboratory and from here they will have the facilities to taste and analyse their own coffees, offering more help to farmers with any quality concerns. This small lot of bourbon was selected from two farmers: Domingo Ramirez and Pablo Gazpar Vazquez.

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.
