This coffee is grown at the Chinennahally Estate in the Chikkamagaluru district of Karnataka, India, at an altitude of 1000-1100 meters. The S795 variety is shade-grown under a two-tiered canopy of native trees, which promotes slow cherry maturation. The coffee is hand-harvested, washed, and sun-dried. It features a flavor profile characterized by notes of roasted hazelnut, cocoa, and red grape.
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.
