Peru San Ignacio Washed
Price range: 11,00 € through 42,00 €
Almonds, chocolate, and juicy mandarin in an espresso that is sweet, balanced, and enjoyable both with and without milk.
The coffee comes from small farmers in the San Ignacio area of Peru's Cajamarca region. It grows at an altitude of 1200 to 1500 m a.s.l., and after harvesting, the cherries are floated and hand-sorted. After depulping, they ferment for 20 to 30 hours in tanks, then are gently washed and dried in the shade. That is why the cup is clean, sweet, and smooth.
In the espresso, you will find creamy chocolate and almonds in the body, caramel sweetness, and a subtle mandarin acidity in the finish. The medium roast keeps the flavor well-rounded, making it easy to enjoy even for those who are just discovering specialty coffee.

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:)
