A natural-processed Arabica coffee from Finca El Paraíso in the Santa Ana region of El Salvador, grown on the slopes of the Ilamantepec Volcano at 1375–1708 meters altitude. The farm spans approximately 77 hectares and is managed in its second generation by Salvador and Monica Gross. Shade-grown under native Inga trees, the Pacamara variety cherries ripen slowly in nutrient-rich sandy loam soils. Roasted as a filter coffee, it offers notes of raspberry, cranberry, and mandarin.
Machhörndl Kaffee is a beloved Nuremberg roastery that has been a fixture of the Franconian specialty coffee scene for years, roasting small batches with artisanal care. Named after the Machhörndl family, the roastery emphasizes traditional drum roasting and direct sourcing from carefully selected farms across Africa, Central and South America. Their café in Nuremberg doubles as a gathering place for the local coffee community, with cuppings, tastings, and equipment advice. The flavor profiles range from bright, fruity filters to rich, full-bodied espressos, always roasted to showcase origin character rather than roast flavor. It's one of those neighborhood roasteries that locals fiercely guard as their own — and for good reason.
