With a standard 9 bar espresso machines, don’t go crazy. This is an easily dialed in bean: 16-18 grams in, 32-36 grams out in 22-25 seconds, so your standard 2:1 ratio for espresso to get a nice balanced, vibrant cup with a pleasant, long lasting aftertaste, while keeping it sweet with a lower brew temp set at around 90-91 degrees (slightly higher if your machine has a more drastic fall in temperature while pulling shots).
Living in a municipality with harder tap water? Don’t underestimate the effect of water on the flavour of your coffee! Make sure to filter it down to under 80 ppm when brewing coffee. We recommend the BWT Magnesium Mineralised Water filters for best results.

Sometimes, the most meaningful coffees begin with a simple connection. We met Wilfredo on our first trip to Caranavi. A pastor in the local church, he’s also a highly skilled cupper—running the community cupping lab and a vibrant coffee cart on the town’s main square. Through him, we were introduced to many of the producers we’ve worked with over the years.
Wilfredo has always been driven by supporting others—helping farmers find buyers without ever expecting anything in return. Today, he’s taken the next step, producing coffee from his own farm in the Santa Ana community of Coroico.
While his first harvest didn’t yet meet our quality expectations, we’ve followed his progress closely. This lot is a clear step forward. It’s clean, structured, and expressive in a way that immediately resonated with us—and with the many of you who have been asking for a more classic, nut-forward profile.
We think we’ve found it.
Mundo Novo is a natural hybrid of Typica and Bourbon, originally developed in Brazil and widely appreciated for its resilience, productivity, and balanced cup profile. In the cup, it often leans toward chocolate, nuts, and gentle fruit tones—making it a reliable foundation for approachable yet high-quality espresso.
This lot is fully washed, a process that emphasizes clarity and structure. After selective hand-picking, the coffee cherries are depulped and fermented in water to break down the remaining mucilage. The beans are then thoroughly washed and dried under controlled conditions.
The result is a cup with greater transparency and definition—where sweetness feels refined, acidity is soft and integrated, and the overall profile remains clean and precise. In this case, the washed process allows the classic Mundo Novo character to shine, while lifting the subtle dried fruit notes that add complexity to the cup.

Sourcing directly at origin from small farmers, we are fully aware of the hard work that goes into the quality product we buy and the challenges their families face to earn their fragile livelihood. In this regard, coffee producing communities in Bolivia face additional challenges, due to the lack of infrastructure, financial support and difficult access to international freight routes. To fairly balance the relationship between roaster and producer we are price takers and as part of our long term commitment to a financially and environmentally sustainable coffee production in Bolivia, we factor these realities into the pricing.
For this 120 Kg batch of specialty grade coffee, Wilfredo received 11,41 USD/Kg.
