Highlander espresso blend
Price range: from 11,00 € to 42,00 €
"There can be only one," Sean Connery tells Christopher Lambert in the timeless film Highlander.
And the same holds true for our espresso blend, which we have crafted exclusively for chocolate-flavor lovers who are not constantly looking for a new coffee, but wish to enjoy their absolute favorite every day. The taste profile of this coffee is sweet with notes of dates, freshly brewed cocoa, and hazelnuts.
Highlander is a seasonal blend whose composition slightly changes over time, as we always select only specialty Arabica from fresh harvests.
It is a blend of 50% Brazil and 50% Colombia.
Highlander whole bean coffee is ideal for espresso.

Lever espresso machine
Lever espresso machineBrew ratio (dose, yield, time): The most commonly used ratio for espresso is 1:2 to 1:2,5 (coffee:water), with a time of approximately 20-25s
- Step 1: Weigh out the freshly ground coffee (e.g., 14g)
- Step 2: Pour the coffee into a clean, dry portafilter, distribute evenly, and tamp
- Step 3: Always flush hot water through the group head before and after extraction, insert the portafilter, and start extraction
- Step 3: "Run" the resulting cup extraction on a scale; if using 14g of coffee and a 1:2,5 brew ratio, the yield should be 35g in 20-25 seconds.
A quick tip in conclusion: If the espresso extracts too quickly, choose a finer grind. If the espresso extracts too slowly, choose a coarser grind instead. There is no one-size-fits-all recipe for espresso; every coffee requires a different approach. When dialing in the right recipe for your coffee, avoid changing all parameters at once (time, dose, yield). Always adjust only one variable at a time and observe the flavor changes.

We recommend using filtered water, which will enhance the coffee's flavor by 100%
Moka pot / Bialetti
Moka pot / BialettiPreheat the water you will use in a kettle to avoid an unnecessarily long boiling process when brewing coffee
Use a slightly coarser grind than for espresso
- Step 1: Pour heated water into the bottom chamber of the moka pot just below the valve
- Step 2: Fill the filter basket completely with freshly ground coffee, do not tamp
- Step 3: Assemble all parts of the moka pot and place it over the heat
- Step 4: When you hear a gentle "gurgling" sound, the coffee is ready.
- Step 5: Cool the bottom chamber of the moka pot to stop the extraction process
A quick tip to conclude: Keeping your moka pot clean is essential; be sure to rinse it thoroughly after each brew. If residue builds up in the moka pot, it can impart an undesirable bitter taste to your coffee. If your coffee spluttered out too quickly, you likely brewed it over too high a heat. Lower the heat for a smooth extraction and a well-rounded, complex flavor. Enjoy:)

excellent coffee, I've been looking for one just like this for a long time. Strong, great taste and not too bitter at the same time. And the crema, fantastic.
Strong, bold and tastes great
Very good coffee, balanced taste – great for everyday sipping 🙂
The coffee is excellent, it meets the expectations for my taste preference. It's in the coffee machine right now and will be for a few more days. It will definitely be a repeat purchase.
