Market Lane Coffee – Santa Ana La Huerta(Espresso)

Camp Grounds — Fri, 17 Dec 2021 07:03:49 +0000

About the producers:

This coffee was grown in Ethiopia’s Guji Zone on a 200-hectare farm owned and run by producer Yodesa Yachisi and his family. Yodesa initially worked in the mining industry, but he moved into agriculture in the early 2000s when he fell in love with coffee and its ability to connect and support communities. He purchased Mormora in 2008.

Origin: El Progresso, Guatemala

Variety: Marsellesa

Process: washed

Producer: Rony Asensio

This coffee was produced by Rony Asensio on his farm in Guatemala’s El Progreso department. Since 2014, Market Lane has been lucky enough to offer coffee from La Soledad, the farm Rony and his wife Ana Lucia Zelaya run in the Antigua region. This is the first time we’ve offered coffee from Rony’s Santa Ana La Huerta farm. Rony is a perfectionist when it comes to coffee production. He works extremely hard to produce beautiful coffees like this one, paying close attention at every stage – from planting and pruning through to picking and processing at his on-site wet mill. He also works hard to take care of his employees, providing seasonal workers with fair pay, well-maintained accommodation and three meals a day during the busy harvest period.\

About Market Lane Coffee:
There is a lot to love about these Melbournian roasters but their sustainability practices and values are what really impressed us. No newbies to the coffee roasting game – they have been around since 2009 and from the beginning, have been committed to quality, transparency, sustainability and using business for good. These principles have a real impact on the way they buy coffee, the people they work with, and how they run their business.

We love how Market Lane Coffee goes about all their sourcing to ensure the best quality and support all for all the peeps involved.. It’s so up our alley!

“Our commitment to quality extends beyond coffee and into every part of our business – from our packaging choices, the milk we source from Schulz Organic Dairy and the organic Dulce sugar we buy from Costa Rica through to the way we hire and train staff, and the hospitality we extend to each customer, during every visit to our shops..”-Market Lane Coffee

ELEVATE YOUR MORNING ROUTINE

The form and function of home grinders have not changed for decades—the same hopper, the shape, and the same results. Well, until now…

KEY FEATURES

PRECISION GRIND QUALITY – Grind quality and consistency are key to a great-tasting cup of coffee. With Ode coffee grinder, precise particle size is possible with every push of the button thanks to café-sized flat burrs and easy grind adjustment with 11 settings and 31 steps in between.

PERFECT FOR THE HOME – Ode transforms a morning chore into a quicker, quieter, and more enjoyable coffee-making experience. By scrapping the oversized (and unnecessary!) hopper and adding noise reduction features, your countertop is officially open for brewing business.

DELIBERATE DETAILS – With a magnetically aligned catch for added cleanliness, a grinds knocker to reduce grind retention, and easy pour fins for a smooth transition, a stacked variety of carefully engineered features set Ode apart from the pack.

REDUCED GRIND NOISE – No more waking up your roommates. From high-quality materials to ditching the noisy gearbox, Ode was designed with quietness in mind.

64 MM FLAT BURRS – Professional-grade stainless steel flat burrs reduce grind time and heat generation while increasing grind particle consistency.

SINGLE DOSE LOADING – Grind what you need right before you brew. We chopped off the space-hogging hopper to limit your beans’ exposure to staleness-inducing oxygen.

GRINDS KNOCKER – Thwap! A high-force spring knocks any extra grinds and chaff into the catch for less mess and low grind retention.

SMART SPEED PID MOTOR – A PID feedback-controlled motor exposes every bean to the same force and speed for consistent grind quality.

AUTO STOP – Ode knows exactly when the last bean has been ground and automatically shuts itself off. No more awful revving noise when your grinder spins on empty.

Small Batch – Asdeflor Co-Op – Guatemala – filter

Camp Grounds — Wed, 06 Oct 2021 01:15:41 +0000

Asdeflor CO-OP

- Producer 5 producers from Asdeflor
- Attributes Caturra, Catuai, and Pache Verde
- Origin Chanjón, San Martín, Todos Santos Cuchumatan, Huehuetenango, Guatemala
- Flavours lemon sponge cake, anzac cookie, balanced and sweet yellow fruit acidity, lemon candy residual

The Asociación de Desarrollo Flor del Café (Coffee Flower Development Association) (aka “ASDEFLOR”) is a tiny collective of just 30 members, all of whom belong to the Mam Mayan indigenous community. Mam is still the language used, Spanish being a second-language used only when speaking to mestizos. The Association owns a communal wet-mill where most producers process their coffee. Fermentations are long and cold, between two and three days. Producers cover the tanks in thick plastic to make sure the fermentation is homogenous and clean. The wet-mill sits at 1700 masl where parchment is dried partially on raised beds and finished on patios.
The Association was legalized as ASDEFLOR in 2012 but the members had been working collaboratively long before. Previously they have only sold locally, bulking their parchment together and delivering to a Co-Op who pays market rate. Located quite far away, and often talking too long to deliver payment, many producers are choosing to hold their coffee back and look for other, better paying markets.

All the members of the Association used to be subsistence farmers of maize and frijol and many were forced to migrate to the US and send money home, and after planting coffee are now able to stay on their land and haven’t crossed the border since.

When we first started working with Asdeflor (2017) the local market price was arguably below the cost of production and it was relatively easy for us to pay attractive premiums, which we have continued to pay. Things have however begun to get a little trickier for producers (and ourselves as responsible buyers) this year and last because of a slew of negative events, including too much rain (leading to lower yields), increased migration to the USA, and higher input cost. So, while prices in Huehuetenango (and in Guatemala at large) rose this year by 25-35% compared to the 2021 season, there’s still an element of uncertainty and discomfort about how this stacks up in relation to (volume influenced) cost of production.When we visited Asdeflor in February 2022 (our first trip for several years due to pandemic travel restrictions), we attended a group meeting where these issues were discussed and where we settled on a reasonable base price. We were super excited at this meeting to meet a next generational of coffee producers, who, despite the uncertainties and difficulties, still see coffee as a way forward. We’re proud to work with Cruz Perez Pablo and the members of Asdeflor.

About the roaster

Most Australians grew up drinking coffee that was oily, bitter and espresso brewed, because that’s how coffee was “supposed” to taste. At home, they might have a plunger and a jar of months-old ground coffee to drag out on special occasions.

Who knew how long ago their coffee was roasted or ground — let alone where it came from? Since coffee was drunk with copious amounts of milk and sugar, who even knew what it really tasted like?

Then some curious souls started asking questions about how and where coffee was harvested; how it was processed and roasted and whether it could taste better. Andrew Kelly was one of them, starting with some intrepid backyard experiments using a heat gun and colander.

About Small Batch Coffee Roasters:

What they have to say about themselves: ‘Most Australians grew up drinking coffee that was oily, bitter and espresso brewed, because that’s how coffee was “supposed” to taste. At home, they might have a plunger and a jar of months-old ground coffee to drag out on special occasions.

Who knew how long ago their coffee was roasted or ground — let alone where it came from? Since coffee was drunk with copious amounts of milk and sugar, who even knew what it really tasted like?

Soon, Andrew dreamed of sharing his discoveries by opening a cafe and roastery. That dream became Auction Rooms: a big open space where everything was on display, a menu that raised the bar for cafe food, and an obsession with creating delicious coffee. Since 2008, Melbournians have been flocking to North Melbourne, answering the siren call of what The Age Good Cafe Guide has twice called Melbourne’s best cafe.

As our roasting operations grew, we opened a dedicated roastery down the road. Auction Rooms was our flagship cafe; Small Batch is the coffee that made it famous.’

We want to spread the word that with carefully sourced and roasted coffee beans, a bit of knowledge, and openness to a world beyond espresso, anyone can make coffee at home that’s as good as any cafe’s (even ours!), and better than most. We also supply wholesale to a small number of cafe operators who care as much as we do.

Understanding that the best cup of coffee starts with the raw product, we are dedicated to working consciously and meaningfully in a select group of countries, collaborating with producers closely to achieve the holy trinity: coffee that is exceptional, that has a positive social impact and that supports sustainable agriculture.’

About the producers – Arlin Andino

Arlin comes from a coffee growing family and has been producing coffee on her own farm in Jinotega, Nicaragua for two years. Arlin is really committed to coffee but don’t take our word for it – here is a quote from the Arlin herself :

“When you drink a cup of coffee, most of the times you don’t think about all the work behind it, all the people that with their hands are involved with the process. I’ve involved myself in all these activities, I’ve placed myself in the shoes of the people that work with me, and from there, I can see the real value of a cup of coffee. This means that when a person drinks a coffee produced on my farm, they’re drinking all the hard work and effort.”– Arlin Andino, Producer

FAQs

How do I dispose of the pods?

After usage, you can throw the Pod in your bin guilt free. Under the right industrial set conditions, they will fully break-down into compost. These Fat Poppy Pods are hermetically sealed, with a plant-based oxygen barrier to keep your coffee as fresh as possible. This means that the entire Pod can be chewed up, and spat out by our little microbial friends, leaving behind biomass, CO2 and water.

A word from the Roasters:

Our Hollywood Pods are both Biodegradable and Compostable which suit our environmentally conscious business. This means our customers get to enjoy a seriously convenient (yet still quality!) cup of coffee, guilt-free. Our Biodegradable and Compostable Hollywood Pods are made from a plant-based composite. They are made entirely from sugarcane and sugar beet. This means that the complete Pod, including the foil, is made from plants materials. Our Hollywood Pods offer convenience, without having to compromise the environment or a quality cup of coffee. – Fat Poppy, Roasters

BEAM – Espresso/Filter – Kochere – Ethiopia

Origin: Ethiopia
Taste: Citrus and stone fruit

More info

About the Coffee

‘Kore is the village where this coffee is grown and processed, in the Kochere district within Yirgacheffe. Kochere coffees have a strong fruit tea-like note that comes along with the citrus and stone fruit. The coffee is picked and delivered to the Boji washing station, depulped within 12 hours, and washed using spring water. The soils in this region are red-brown clay soil, about 1.5 meters deep.

Typically farmers in this region don’t have access to and therefore do not utilise fertilizers or pesticides in the production of coffee. They have farmed in sustainable ways forever and when the coffee tastes this good, we support them to keep it that way.’ – Beam Coffee Roasters

Abstract Coffee – Mauricio Salaverria – All Methods

Camp Grounds — Tue, 04 May 2021 12:29:42 +0000

Tasting Notes Of: Cherry + Vanilla + Almond + Grape

Finca Himalaya is Mauricio Salaverria’s second farm, where he uses an interesting natural processing method dubbed “Supersonic.” This involves laying the cherries in a thick 30cm layer for 3 days, then followed by a thin single layer for the remainder of the drying time (Until Moisture has reached 16%). Following this the coffee is put into a dark room for about 1 week for sugars to stabilise before being milled. The care Mauricio takes on all steps of production is very impressive.

Region : Ataco
Farm : Finca Himalaya
