Grind Information
Please note, our espresso grind is suitable for most home coffee machines. If you have a commercial grade coffee machine, E.g. Linea Mini, then please add an order note in your basket, requesting commercial espresso grind.
We would always recommend that you use a grinder at home in order to achieve the grind suitable for your particular brewing equipment, but we appreciate that this is not always possible, so we do offer our coffee as ground. We offer grind options that we think would achieve the best results from the numerous variations of machines and equipment that are available to consumers, but we cannot guarantee that our ground options will work with every unique set up.

Yirgacheffe
The cherries, grown between 1800 and 2000 meters above sea level, are composed of indigenous heirloom varieties nurtured under the shade of false banana trees (Enset), a natural canopy that supports biodiversity and enriches the soil. After harvest, the fruit is floated, hand-sorted and naturally dried on raised African beds for 12–15 days, allowing the sugars to deepen and the sweetness build.
Beyond the cup, Ephtah’s work reflects a deep respect for people and place. Through their Ama Commitment initiative, they invest in women farmers, offering pre-financing, access to drying infrastructure and agronomic training that empowers both livelihoods and leadership within the community.
