Grind

    An SL28 lot we have been eagerly waiting for: the flavour profile is dominated by boozy notes accentuated by fermentation: We taste intesive sweetness, tropical acids with a loud - i.e. very complex - mouthfeel. The aftertaste is also boozy with exotic fruits.

    Select your grind size

    If you don't have a grinder at home, we'll happily grind your coffee to your specifications. Just select your brewing method above or order whole beans.

    Find the right grind. You can get the most out of your coffee by grinding your beans just before brewing. Take a look at the equipment selection if you are interested in a grinder.

    You can also select a grind level in each product if you want us to grind the beans for you. We use a Mahlkönig EK43 for this.

    Frenchpress and Aeropress are ground on the same setting.

    About the coffee

    The Chacóns are among the first coffee producers in Central America known for processing Honey and Natural Coffees and have won several awards. They are the pioneers in Costa Rica when it comes to perfecting various honey processing and dried natural methods. Their coffees are among the best in the country and convince harvest after harvest with the highest quality.
    Honey processing means that after separating the pulp from the beans, the coffee is placed directly in the sun to dry. A certain amount of mucilago, a thin layer of pulp from inside the coffee cherry, remains attached to the beans. This film influences the taste of the later roasted coffee bean. In terms of taste, the coffee develops a sweeter, fruitier and more intense flavour because the acids are somewhat reduced and the body becomes fuller as a result. Only small amounts of water are used in this type of drying, as the beans are not washed or fermented beforehand.

    About the farm

    The "Las Lajas" farm of Doña Francisca and Don Oscar Chacón was the first certified organic coffee farm in Costa Rica in 2000. For the past seven years, we have been guests there every harvest season to taste their new and impressive coffees on site. When the two took over the plantation from Oscar Chacón's father in the early 1990s, they decided to run the cultivation completely organically and sustainably. In this way, the couple combined traditional coffee craftsmanship with innovative novelties that led them away from classic fertilisation and cultivation methods.

    Bloody Good Coffee

    – SINCE 2002

    Bloody Good Rockstar

    Coffee is a fruit. This means it is naturally acidic, and contains many sugars. We roast our coffees to bring out this acidity and develop their natural sweetness.

    For us, all rare and special coffees are rockstars. We’re super proud of our diverse and extensive range of rare coffees. Geishas and other special varieties taste their best when we’re roasting them regularly and gaining experience. We are the only roasters in Germany that roast rockstars every single week, with Geisha and other rare varieties in our regular lineup.
