About
Profile
Sítio Abertão is a new farm on our counter this year. We selected the coffee during the last crop for its caramel-like sweetness, a characteristic we particularly enjoy in coffee from this region in Brazil. José Raimundo de Castro (Zé Camilo), has been working in coffee since the 1970s. He began working as a coffee picker in the Parana region, and moved to Minas Gerais just over a decade ago. Zé Camilo bought four hectares already planted with Yellow Bourbon and Yellow Catuaí. We have written about the mill in our June 2026 newsletter.

Grind Guide
Cafetière
A coarse grind also suitable for cold brew. We use the word cafetière, but this can also be referred to as a French press, plunger or press pot.
Aeropress slow
Suitable for making a long, filter style coffee, often brewed for a few minutes. Similar to our paper filter setting.
Filter
This is suitable for our paper filters and ceramic or plastic cones, along with other brands such as V60, Clever dripper and Melitta.
Stovetop
This is an espresso style grind suitable for use in hob top espresso pots such as a Bialetti or Grunwerg. Sometimes referred to as a moka pot.
Aeropress fast
This is also an espresso style grind ideal for brewing a short, concentrated, espresso style coffee in an Aeropress.
Domestic espresso
A fine grind for using in your home espresso machine. Grind requirements will vary depending on brand and model, but this setting aims to work for the majority of home setups.
