Doña Margarita - Expresso du Nicaragua

About This Coffee

This espresso is from Finca Santa Rita and neighboring farms in Dipilto, Nicaragua, produced by Claudia Lobo de Bridazul. The coffee features Caturra, Catuaí, and Catimor varieties. The cherries undergo fermentation in a cold chamber for two weeks in barrels, followed by natural drying on raised beds. This intensive yet carefully controlled fermentation process intensifies the rich fruity aromas while the slow drying preserves clean and precise flavors. The coffee offers vibrant aromas with bright acidity balanced by sweetness, featuring notes of currant, passion fruit, floral hints, fruity chocolate, magnolia, and tropical fruits with a rich, dense body.

Kaffeemacher

Kaffeemacher was founded in Basel in 2009 by Benjamin Hohlmann, growing out of his work managing Unternehmen Mitte, one of Switzerland's largest coffee houses. The operation began roasting commercially in 2017 after years of developing a clear roasting philosophy, and today encompasses a roastery in the Gundeli district, a Coffee Academy with over 8,000 course participants, award winning cafes, and a mobile coffee bar. Benjamin holds SCA trainer certification and lectures on coffee at ZHAW Wädenswil. The team co owns Finca Santa Rita, a coffee farm in northern Nicaragua, and sources from partner farms in ten countries through long term relationships. Kaffeemacher swept four of the top five places at the 2024 Swiss Roasting Championships, with all roasters on the team having learned their craft in house. Transparency runs deep: the company publishes a Common Good Balance Sheet and is a signatory to The Pledge for transparent green coffee buying.
