Barista tips

Four tiny tweaks, one much better cup

1

Grind right before you brew

Ground coffee loses its aroma within minutes. Whole beans keep it locked in until the last second.

2

Hot, not boiling: 92–96 °C

Boiling water burns the sweet notes. Let the kettle rest 30 seconds after it clicks.

3

Weigh it, don’t guess

Espresso 1 : 2 (18 g in, 36 g out), filter 1 : 16. Sour? Grind finer. Bitter? Coarser.

4

Seal it, skip the fridge

Keep the bag closed in a dark cupboard and finish it within about a month of opening.

Never run out

About this coffee

Notes of dried apricots, plums, and nectarines unfold gracefully, creating a smooth, fruity, sun-kissed profile that keeps inviting you back for more…

In the Motagua Valley, high in the Guatemalan mountains, lies the remarkable El Gigante Estate, named after the mountain on whose slopes it rests. Established in 1994, this coffee estate boasts a unique microclimate suited perfectly for slow, flavour-dense maturation. Led by Osvaldo Suchini, El Gigante is celebrated for its dedication to quality, innovation, and community. It’s where traditional know-how comes together with modern processing techniques to create coffees of a truly remarkable character. This particular lot is an excellent example: it’s been co-fermented with “mosto”— a fermented juice derived from earlier batches of coffee—producing a particularly intense aroma, and enhancing the fruity flavour of the beans even further.
