The Story

The idea behind our Shop Filter is a simple one, a people pleasing sweet and reliable coffee that doesn't break the bank. Whether you brew in a french press, with a pour over or on a stovetop, we wanna offer some beans that fit easily with any routine. Picture sipping on a good old cup of Joe when you're wrenching away on your classic cars, old bikes or coffee machines (you all do that for fun as well right?).

The coffee itself will change on a seasonal basis, showcasing origin, processing and terroir with the same levels of traceability you're used to from us.

This edition of our Shop Filter is a washed Guatemala: From farms around the El Borbollon mill under the care of the Alvares family. All farms participating in this blend are located on the Apaneca Ilamatepec Mountain Range and mainly on the Santa Ana volcano. All the coffee is delivered on cherry to the mill where it is washed, floaters are removed and the coffee is pulped before fermenting overnight. Then the beans are moved to a washing machine where the remaining mucilage is removed before being spread for drying on patios. All water is recycled and is used to move fresh cherries wet mill. The El Borbollon mill has different drying methods depending on the particular lot to result in more complex flavour in the cup. As the last step after hulling, it is hand sorted by women who remove any defects to enhance the quality of the coffee. 

This coffee matches perfectly the standard for our Shop filter with great sweetness, notes of plums and a nutty finish.
