New blog! Discover how each variable affects the taste and aroma of your daily cup.

🧐 What is Extraction?
Extraction is the process in which we dissolve the flavors and other components of roasted and ground coffee in water. This process defines the flavor and aroma of your coffee, influenced by compounds such as caffeine, acids, lipids, sugars and carbohydrates.

How does Extraction Affect Flavor?
1️⃣ First: Fruity and acidic notes.
2️⃣ Then: Sweet and balanced notes.
3️⃣ Finally: Bitterness.

An under-extracted coffee will be acidic and unbalanced, while an over-extracted one will be bitter.

💥 Ideal level of extraction.
Generally, an extraction percentage between 18% and 22% is recommended. However, the key is to find the balance you enjoy the most.

Control Extraction
✅ Grind: finer for less acidity, coarser for less bitterness.
✅ Time: Lower for less acidity, higher for less bitterness.
✅ Water temperature: ideal between 91-96 ℃.
✅ Coffee bed depth: Uniform for consistent extraction.

👩🏻‍🔬Experimenta and Enjoy
Adjust the variables and find your perfect method - every coffee is a new opportunity to experiment and discover unique flavors!

Guatemala, a country small in size but immense in diversity, is home to some of the most exquisite coffee in the world. With altitudes ranging from sea level to 4220 meters, our country offers a variety of microclimates perfect for growing high quality coffee.

☕ Coffee arrived in Guatemala during colonial times, brought by religious men who planted it in the gardens of convents. After the earthquake of 1773, the plantations were moved to the new capital, and in the 1850s and 1860s, coffee began to flourish as an industry, becoming a pillar of our economy thanks to our fertile soil and temperate climate.

🌱 Unique Characteristics:

🌋 More than 300 microclimates.
🏔️ Crops above 1300 meters of altitude.
☀️ 98% of the coffee plantations are cultivated under shade.
👨‍🌾 90,000 coffee growers.

Each coffee variety, from Prima/Extra Prima to Strictly Hard Bean, offers a unique flavor profile, appreciated worldwide for its distinctive aroma and acidity.

💪 Let's celebrate Guatemalan coffee and the hard work of our coffee growers! 🇬🇹✨
