  • The relationship we hold with Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama is one of our oldest and most important sourcing partnerships. We've been enjoying coffee from this farm since 2003 and always eagerly await the return of Cachoeira each year.

    The farm is 417 hectares in size, with 64 of those hectares planted with coffee. Environmental sustainability is considered very important in the farm management, and they have developed a program of planting native species alongside the coffee crop to keep a better ecological balance.

    Cachoeira da Grama has a school, a club, a full-sized football field for employees, and 47 houses with modern facilities. The family invests heavily in the farm's coffee processing facilities. Wastewater is treated to avoid polluting the stream that crosses the land, and the farm has a small hydroelectric plant used during the peak harvest.

    Roasted hazelnut and walnuts run through the cup, with the sweetness of milk chocolate and toffee backing that up and just a little biscuit edge for this easy drinking all-rounder.

    Roasting Information
    Medium: take this one nice and steady, with plenty of development time as you take it through first and right to the end of the gap before you finish the roast.

  • We offer our coffees as whole beans, pre-ground, and green unroasted.

    To help you choose the best pre-ground options for you, below is a list of popular brew methods that we find work well with our settings. And for more information, please visit our dedicated grind size article here.

    Espresso: Turkish coffee (jezve) or, you guessed it, espresso*

    Fine Filter: Moka pot, AeroPress, single cup pour-over (e.g. Hario V60 01, Chemex 1-3 cup, Kalita 155). Fine filter also works well for home espresso machines like the De'Longhi Dedica.

    Medium Filter: Double cup pour-over brewers (e.g., Clever Dripper, V60 02, Chemex 6/8/10 cup, Kalita 185, April, wide Orea, etc)

    Coarse Filter: Automatic drip brewers like Moccamaster, BUNN, Sage, Behmor etc, and syphon brewers.

    French Press: French Press (cafetiere/press pot/plunger Pot), cold brew, cowboy coffee.

    It is not possible to grind 3kg bags.

    Ground coffee cannot be refunded nor exchanged as it is a product customised especially for you. Full refund policy here.

    If you're interested in getting yourself a grinder, we have a great selection to choose from! Click here to check them out.

    *Please note that some home espresso machines will struggle with a standard espresso grind due to the wide variety of machines on the market and the difference in spec when compared to commercial espresso machines. If you are unsure whether this applies to your personal home set-up please get in touch.
