"I first tasted this coffee in 2005 and since then it's only improved with the work and refinement of the Caballero family. There is always a new dimension of sweetness and complexity to explore in this cup."

Choose Your Brew
Pourover
- Boil water 205°F (just off the boil) for optimal extraction
- Grind 21 grams (about 3 tablespoons) of coffee to about as fine as kosher salt. Add to brewer.
- Saturate the grounds Saturate the grounds with water right off the boil (about 205°F). Use just enough water to cover the grounds.
- Let it bloom for 15 seconds. Coffee de-gasses or “blooms” when it’s fresh–the coffee bed should raise up and bubble a bit.
- Pour water in a slow, even spiral, adding water every 10 – 15 seconds for an even extraction.
Drip Coffee
- Grind your beans to medium coarseness (similar to table salt).
- Add water aim for good preheated water in the reservoir if your model allows, but don’t exceed the machine’s recommended fill.
- Add filter and coffee Use a clean paper filter. Add your ground coffee to the filter and level it gently.
- Start the brew and let the machine do the work.
The Story
We’ve cherished our friendship with husband and wife team Moisés Herrera and Marysabel Caballero since we first started buying their exquisite coffee back in 2004. Their operation in the renowned growing region of Marcala, Honduras is a collection of 35 distinct farms—one of which, Finca El Puente, produced the first lot of coffee we bought from them.
Moisés and Marysabel are continually working to improve the quality of their coffee and the efficiency of their operations while caring for their natural environment. In 2020, they even relocated their processing facilities in an effort to reduce water usage.
