About

Alvans Mutero inherited Mutero from his father, who established the farm in 1959. Alvans has more than doubled the size of the farm over the last two decades and now has over 9000 SL28 coffee trees in production. SL28 is one of our favourite varietals planted in Kenya – it is known for its berry notes, juicy body and bright acidity. Sadly, many SL28 trees have been removed from other farms for varietals that have more resistance to disease and pests. It has been a good crop for Alvans, there was minimal rainfall during the flowering season which led to a better than average conversion of flower to cherry and an even ripening. Because it has been dry when it was meant to be dry there also hasn’t been as much leaf rust or coffee borer problems, so the trees have come through the crop well and are in good shape for next year.

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.
