Cuba Sierra Maestra

About This Coffee

This single-origin Arabica coffee is sourced from the Sierra Maestra region in Cuba, grown at an altitude of 600 to 800 meters. It is a washed coffee that is roasted to a dark level, resulting in a mild, low-acidity cup with a round body. The flavor profile is characterized by pleasant notes of roasted nuts and caramel, making it a very accessible and well-rounded coffee.

Maillardos

A married couple from two coffee worlds built this roastery: Uriel from the Swiss German town of Rheineck and Raquel from San Jose, Costa Rica. The name pays tribute to Louis Camille Maillard (1878–1936), the scientist behind the Maillard reaction responsible for the complex aromas that develop during roasting. What started as a crowdfunded show roastery has grown into a certified organic operation (CH Bio 086) with a dedicated production facility in Altenrhein, where a Loring roaster runs on 100% regional biogas. Every batch is roasted for 8 to 16 minutes under close supervision, with Cropster software and regular tastings ensuring consistency and continuous improvement. Maillardos sources traceable coffees from smaller producers, paying well above commodity exchange prices, and packages everything in fully recyclable materials.
