No coincidence Manuel’s coffees are crushing our SB menu for another year in a row, one of our favorites! And 2024 is a year his Finca Los Primos places 6th in CoE. Hats off!

These coffees are one of the most user-friendly beans we’ve ever experienced, being very responsive and obtaining the heat efficiently, so don’t start too aggressively. Some of them have more tendency for slight crashing, some of them not really. Just hit your demanded roast degree and enjoy that beautiful complexity.
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.

Manuel hails from a coffee-loving, multi-generational family of coffee growers. Their dedication to coffee cultivation has remained unwavering, with each generation consistently striving to enhance the quality of their coffee year after year.
At the young age of 23, Manuel received a significant gift from his grandfather—a property nestled at 1200 meters above sea level. Over the next eight years, Manuel poured his heart and soul into this land. However, due to persistently low coffee prices and disappointing production yields, he made the difficult decision to seek employment in the city to address his financial challenges.
88 Graines idea is grounded on establishing a collaborative coffee sourcing model between coffee producers and roasters.
