The extraction time tells you if the water has enough time to extract all the tasty goodness in the coffee. Adjusting your grind size will help you to achieve the suggested time in our recipe. You want to grind finer if you extract a yield in a shorter time. And grind coarser if you achieve the yield in a longer time than suggested.

This delicious organic specialty coffee is produced by women coffee growers in remote communities of Northern Peru. All coffee is shade-grown at high altitudes along steep slopes amongst bananas, mangos, cocoa and avocado trees naturally maintaining healthy soil and habitat.

Under the Café Femenino Program, which started in 2004 in Peru, women coffee growers harvest and sell their own coffee. The positive impact of this program has been hugely felt. The wellbeing, health and nutrition of families and communities has noticeably improved, and women are increasingly recognised for their contribution. An integral part of the program is the work of its Foundation, which supports social and environmental projects amongst its coffee-growing communities.

The Colombian component of our Mrs Robinson espresso blend coffee was produced by women growers of the ASMUCAFE association ‘Asociación de Mujeres Agropecuarias de Uribe’ in El Tambo located in Colombia’s Cauca region.

The coffee, all of which is of Castillo or Colombia variety, is picked as purple (Castillo) or bright red (Colombia) cherry and undergoes a somewhat unusual "double" fermentation process, as the women growers describe it: First, the cherries are left in the loading hoppers for 14 hours, then they are then depulped in the afternoons and evening hours and placed into traditional open fermentation tanks for another 10 hours. Then they are washed three to four times before being dried in the sun for 8–12 days.

​We know, that together we are creating better opportunities for women and their families. That’s why we source coffee directly from women coffee growers and reinvest funds in social projects that create a profound change in our coffee-grower communities.
