COFFEE OF THE MONTH

Every month, we select unique beans for you in three reveals: Espresso of the Month, Filter of the Month, and - starting now - Turbo Filter. This is our signature selection of coffees that we particularly want to show and recommend to you in a given month. Espresso and Filter of the Month are carefully selected specialty coffees that will work great every day. Turbo Filter, already known from our cafes, is an option for those who want to reach even higher: a limited and slightly wilder coffee from the Royal Beans selection, distinguished by its unique taste, origin, or processing method. We thoroughly test each of them using various brewing methods, prepare recommended recipes, and tell the story of its beans. See for yourself what we have prepared for you this month!

ABOUT THE COFFEE

Elegant classics of the highest quality. Brazil Campo Das Vertentes Espresso is a clean, crisp, gently fruity coffee featuring tasting notes of dried fig, nougat, and chocolate.

We source it through the direct trade model—straight from the producer we collaborate with, whose coffee cultivation methods and quality we know firsthand.

Discover Sancoffee—a collective of coffee growers from the Campo das Vertentes region, located in the mountains of Brazil, one of the country's most significant areas for coffee production. Soil conditions, climate, and plantation elevation give the beans an exceptional, complex flavor profile with distinct nutty and chocolate notes.

Campo das Vertentes is a blend of various varieties combined to give the coffee a balanced character with a dense body, noticeable fruity notes, and a clean finish. Our coffee combines Catuai, Acaia, Mundo Novo, and Yellow Catucai varieties—commonly used across South America, particularly in Brazil.

The oldest processing method, where harvested coffee cherries are sun-dried whole while ensuring even distribution and regular turning. Once the optimal moisture level is achieved, the bean is separated from the remnants of the outer layers.
