About
Profile
We first met Julio Chávez last year on our visit to Cooperativa Incahuasi in Cusco. Julio is the president of the cooperative and a contributing farmer. We were fortunate to visit his farm and spend time tasting coffees with the team at the cooperative offices and laboratory. Julio has two plots which make up his farm; one plot is at 1800m and is planted with Americano, Catimor, and Parainema; the second is higher in altitude at 2300m and is planted with Geisha, SL09, Bourbon, Typica, Catimor. The farm is small, some three hectares, but is located very close to the cooperative’s processing facilities. This means Julio can deliver his harvest from the higher plot by gravity with a pipe directly connected to the processing station. We wrote more about our visit to the cooperative in our May 2026 newsletter.

Grind Guide
Cafetière

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.
