FAQ
What is the secret behind the full flavor of El Lopez coffee?
El Lopez is a special single origin specialty coffee from Honduras, grown with great passion by farmer Mario Lopez. What truly gives this Arabica bean its unique, luxurious character is the natural process. Because the coffee cherries dry whole in the sun after harvesting, the beans have ample time to absorb the full, natural fruitiness.
What flavors can you expect during the tasting?
Brace yourself for a distinctive coffee with a warm glow. You'll taste a rich profile with clear notes of rum raisins and dried fruit, perfectly balanced with the syrupy sweetness of brown sugar. It's a robust, velvety cup of coffee full of character, with an aftertaste that is downright addictive.
Why is El Lopez not only irresistible, but also honest?
We work through direct trade: we buy our coffee directly from the farmer, and for these beans, we do so directly from Mario Lopez in Honduras. Because we bypass intermediaries, he receives a fair price, and a long-term partnership is established. This gives him the opportunity to continue investing in quality, nature, and his community.
How do you brew the ultimate cup of El Lopez?
To allow all those decadent flavors to fully unfurl, we recommend the following recipes:
- For a double espresso: Use 19 grams of finely ground coffee beans. Aim for an extraction time of 28 seconds. This should result in approximately 40 ml of (liquid) espresso.
- For V60 (Filter coffee): Use 22 grams of coarsely ground coffee beans with 350 ml of water. The ideal total extraction time for this method is 2 minutes and 45 seconds.
