What's special about this coffee
Ellen Fontana is the fifth generation of coffee growers in her family and took over the coffee farm with one clear question: how can I do this the right way? With a minimal intervention approach, Ellen grows coffee on only 23 of the 100 hectares of her land, between banana, avocado, and eucalyptus trees. Together with neighbors and organizations, she protects a forest of around 70,000 trees, cares for the river, and creates additional sources of income such as honey. Climate challenges and experiences reinforce her conviction: caring for nature is essential to continue producing quality coffee.
This coffee has more tropical fruit notes than you would expect from an average Brazilian coffee. Delicious as a filter coffee or espresso.
About coffee from Jimma
For over 150 years, Brazil has been the world's largest coffee producer, accounting for one-third of global production. Unlike the other small-scale coffee farms in Central America, the Brazilians were the first to set up commercial, large-scale coffee farms, mainly employing slaves to work on the plantations.
To this day, we see that this industrial, often aggressive, approach to coffee cultivation remains prevalent in Brazil. Because Brazil is such a dominant and important coffee producer in the world, the global coffee price is heavily dependent on the annual Brazilian harvest. In addition to being a major coffee producer, the government has also made many attempts to boost domestic coffee consumption, and with success.

uitleg
Grinding degree
Adjust your grind size to the brewing method to get the most out of your coffee. With some brewing methods, the coffee is in contact with water for a long time (requires a coarser grind), in others very short (finer grinding degree). It is therefore important that there is no over- or under-extraction. Your coffee tastes either too strong/intense or too weak/watery.
French press/cafetière: Ground
Filter and Aeropress: Ground
Bialetti/mocha pot: Finely ground
Espresso/porta filter: Finely ground

Nespresso compatibel
Onze thuis-composteerbare capsules zijn een milieuvriendelijk alternatief voor aluminium, maar ze werken nét iets anders in je Nespresso® machine. Hier zijn een paar handige tips om de beste koffie-ervaring te garanderen:
Plaatsing
De capsules passen in alle Nespresso® toestellen vanaf 2010 (behalve de L’OR Barista), maar omdat ze niet van aluminium zijn, glijden ze iets minder soepel.
Onderhoud
Reinig je machine minimaal eens per twee maanden om verstoppingen te voorkomen en de waterdruk optimaal te houden.
Spoelen en voorverwarmen
Spoel je machine voor gebruik even door. Dit verwijdert restjes oude koffie en helpt om de capsule makkelijker door te prikken. Een warme machine draagt bij aan een soepelere koffiebereiding.
Waarom kiezen voor composteerbare capsules?
Aluminium capsules lijken misschien een eenvoudige oplossing, maar ze bevatten vaak meer dan alleen aluminium: verf, siliconen en plastic filters. Na recycling blijft er nog geen 20% van het oorspronkelijke materiaal over. Onze composteerbare capsules zijn daarentegen écht een stap richting duurzamer koffiedrinken.
Freshly packaged after ordering
Your coffee is slowly roasted to perfection and only packaged (and possibly ground) after you have ordered. This way, a few days later you can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee full of taste & aroma.
