Kenyan coffees have long been known for their cups having big bodies and having tons of sweetness and the Kiamugumo is no exception.

This coffee from the farm of Tadese Teko is a special treat, as coffees from Ethiopia are rarely traceable to the producer. Look for a sweet & juicy cup with flavors of rose, plum & honeycrisp apple.

Ethiopia is often considered the birthplace of coffee and is home to many heirloom varieties. Although most coffee from Ethiopia is run through a commodity exchange, this one has traceability to the farm! We're worked with Kayon Mountain Farm in the past, From this year's crop, we chose a natural-processed coffee because of its sweet flavors of strawberry, blueberry, yogurt & milk choocolate, with a dense & creamy body.

We have purchased coffee from Gold Mountain Coffee Growers for 6 years now. We were so impressed with the coffee from El Divino Niño farm last year, that we brought it back this year.

The Chemex Coffeemaker is a classic! It was designed by a chemist in 1941 and inspired by how liquids are filtered in a science lab. We love it for its design, ease of brewing and that it is both brewer and server in one. It's worth noting that it is the only piece of coffee equipment on display at the Museum of Modern Art. Because of the way the Chemex filter rests on top of the brewer, slow even draining takes place. This is because, as coffee drips into the lower chamber, air is displaced by pushing up the spout and past the filter.

The Chemex filter is a thick, folded paper filter that's designed for the Chemex Coffeemaker. This thicker paper helps to hold back oils and to create an even, steady flow for consistent and delicious results.
