Story

We want to buy this coffee every year, forever, it's brilliant!

Kibingo serves 3,515 growers spread over 18 hills in the area and can process 750,000kg of coffee cherry per day. The station is operated by Greenco, an NGO dedicated to improving the quality of life and quality of coffee in one of the world's poorest regions.

Once sorted and pulped, this coffee is placed in an airtight concrete fermentation tank. Coffee-specific Cima yeast is then added before covering the tank to ferment for approximately 36 hours.

If you'd like to know more about yeast fermentation, you can email harley@cupperschoice.coffee... he loves talking about it.

Coffee FAQ

Does your coffee come as whole bean or ground?

We only sell whole bean coffee. This is to ensure you make the best cup possible and a big part of that is grinding the coffee just before using it.

If you're in need of a grinder, head to our brewing store.

What's the difference between espresso and filter roast?

We profile most of our coffees for both espresso and filter. In basic terms, espresso coffee is often more developed and slightly darker than a filter roast. This varies with each coffee and in general we roast our coffee to what is considered a light/modern profile. Which one is best for you depends on your intended brewing method.

You can search by brew type on our shop.

Is your coffee roasted to order?

We roast multiple times throughout the week and dispatch online orders twice per week (at minimum). Due to the way we roast coffee, we recommend a minimum rest period of 10 days before brewing.
