Our Acatenango coffees usually tend to be pretty dense and compact. They ‘like’ more aggressive energy at the beginning of the roast compared to many other coffees, given that you want to achieve a similar roast time. Watch out for significant RoR crashes after the first crack – make sure you go into the development time phase with a relatively high energy as well.
Please note this is a general, not a specific tip. Each coffee tends to behave a bit (or a lot!) differently and should be approached individually. We highly recommend working with a colorimeter machine. Your local data, depending on your grinder, grind size and the way you prepare coffee surface for measurements, will be the most precise tool for your QC routine aside from cupping.

Finca El Zapote is located in the coffee heart of Acatenango right in the middle of the town, Socorro. Julio, the owner of the farm has dedicated all his life to growing and carrying for coffee.
We met Julio 6 years ago and we became instant coffee friends. We started our buying relationship 4 years ago and we are happy to say that we have been growing together.
Julio’s coffee goals are very percise and specific and each year he takes steps to reach them. His main focus is quality of course but also quality achieved in a sustainable way with respect for the environment and people.
88 Graines idea is grounded on establishing a collaborative coffee sourcing model between coffee producers and roasters.
