Our latest Single Origin is available | Guatemala Fraijanes Plateau ☕️

Produced in the volcanic highlands surrounding the Fraijanes Plateau, this coffee is shaped by rich mineral soils, cool mountain air and slow cherry maturation — conditions that create exceptional sweetness and clarity in the cup.

Carefully naturally processed and dried with the fruit intact, the result is a coffee that feels both vibrant and refined. Expect layered notes of ripe berries, dark cherry and red grape, carried by a silky body and finished with lingering milk chocolate sweetness.

This lot is SHB (Strictly Hard Bean) and EP (European Preparation), reflecting the quality and care taken throughout cultivation and processing.

Prepare for a cup with depth and elegance — expressive enough for the curious coffee drinker, yet balanced enough to return to every day.

It is roasted to highlight sweetness, texture and the distinct character of the bean.

EDUCATION | More about our Nespresso™️ compatible capsule production ☕️

Remember, we use around 5.5g of ground coffee in a capsule and around 18g of coffee in a double shot of espresso, so it is impossible to expect an identical espresso flavour extraction from one capsule.

We ensure that the coffee for our capsule is ground to perfection and we weigh every 5th or 6th capsule on the belt to ensure consistency during production.

Our capsule machine is fitted with a nitrogen generator to flush the capsules. Nitrogen is heavier than oxygen and so this removes excess oxygen from the coffee, preventing oxidation and extending the shelf life.
The UV lights kill all bacteria, sterilising the capsules before they are sealed.

The capsule itself is 100% compostable and it is designed to work perfectly in all domestic Nespresso coffee machines and thanks to the innovative compostable barrier materials used, it is able to guarantee a longer shelf life for the coffee.

NEW RELEASE SINGLE ORIGIN | KENYAN HIGHLANDS AA ☕️

Creamy and vibrant in the cup, this coffee opens with a silky mouthfeel and a lively, berry-like acidity that becomes even more expressive as it cools.

Bright, juicy and beautifully balanced, it shines as a single origin espresso while also brewing effortlessly as a daily filter coffee. In blends, it brings a welcome lift — adding complexity, brightness and that extra “wow” factor.

This lot features Kenya’s coveted AA grading, indicating larger bean size and exceptional cup potential. The balanced screen distribution and careful post-harvest handling ensure a clean, consistent roast with the vibrant acidity and structure Kenyan coffees are known for.

Meet Nero 🖤 Fruity, Floral and Chocolatey…

This is a well-rounded capsule blend with 6 origins, each adding a little something to it. It’s the most similar in flavour to our Original Blend and a good option for those who enjoy a coffee kick but appreciate subtleness in the taste ☕️

EDUCATION | We explore the importance of the grind size in coffee making ☕️

Many underestimate the importance of the grind and how much it affects the taste of your coffee. The grind size controls how quickly water moves through the coffee and how much flavour is extracted along the way.

If the grind is too fine, the water will struggle to move through the coffee resulting in over-extraction with bitter, dry flavours. If the grind is too coarse, the water will rush through quickly leaving the cup weak, sour and flat.

Using the right size grind for your brewing method is important for good extraction. You’ll get sweetness, a pleasant acidity, and a smooth finish where flavours feel complete. When the grind is right, the coffee tastes like it was meant to.

Be sure to select the grind size that is right for your brewing method at home or adjust your grinder accordingly.

Ground coffee isn’t just ground coffee.
