Before we turn on the coffee roaster in the morning, there's one thing we just can't go without.. music. We curated several playlists for you to enjoy while sipping. Some are perfect to relax and wind down, others can get a bit loud and noisy from time to time. Some have even been put together by the farmers we collaborate with. Keep on rocking in the free world!

Kenya has a reputation for producing some of the best coffee in the world, but that doesn’t come easy. A long history of colonialism and political corruption has pervaded the country, creating an obstacle course of red tape and bureaucracy for coffee producers. This creates a system that encourages high prices, only for middlemen and ‘marketers’ to take more than the lions share of it. This leaves the farmer with few reasons to improve his crop or avenues to distinguish it from a neighbours.

Sakami, run by Gloria and Jarmo, have been trying to buck the system since their inception. They provide stable and fair employment to their communities, and try to help farmers pool their money to get better deals on credit and resources. They’ve purchased their own wet mill, run only only solar energy, to reclaim oversight on key parts of production. Crucially, they have their own export license, allowing them to circumvent the bad business practices of the auction system. All of this allows them to offer traceable single farm lots in an otherwise untraceable market.

A classic washed Kenyan, this AB SL28 offering from Sakami has a great balance of sweetness, acidity, and body. It has notes of currants, tart plum jam, stone fruit, with a sweetness like sugarcane.

Perfect for the PM, Daterra's Low Caf Reserve is the ideal afternoon coffee. Daterra farms in Brazil have spent years cultivating unique varietals suited to their terroir and climate. We’re lucky enough to present a lot of their natural processed Aramosa varietal, a fruity and funky Brazilian coffee with a hidden benefit.

Aramosa is crossbred varietal of coffee that produces 50-70% less caffeine than typical Arabica varietals. So what? So what?! It means you can enjoy a great, interesting, delicate espresso or two, without worrying how late in the day it is. It means you can have twice as much coffee without altering your caffeine intake!

More important is this cups super rich flavour profile. Due to the natural processing, the lot has a fruitier profile than is typical from a Brazilian coffee. It retains the rich, caramel sweetness that Brazil is known for, but has clear notes of raspberry, with a grape-like aftertaste. Roasted for espresso, the texture is velvety and rich, and leaves you wanting more. Good thing it's Low-Caf!

A stones throw away from the town of Yirgacheffe, just by the Toracho river, lies the village of Konga Wete Webanchi. With good access to water and electricity, it’s easy to see why Meseret and Abraham built their new washing station here. With more than 40 years experience working with Ethiopian coffee, Meserat and Abraham had their own ideas on how it should be done, so started their own company, Primrose. 

They saw the massive production advantage electricity gives a washing station, allowing then to process coffee through the night, usually a difficult feat for a washing station. More importantly, they saw the need to work with the community, not just alongside it. To that end, Primrose and Project Origin hep out the neighbouring local schools by providing teachers and staff the support they need to help the local children.

This washed coffee from Konga showcases the delicate side of Yirgacheffe coffee. It’s gentle, with light tea flavours and a bright lemon and malic apple acidity, stone fruit notes and a lasting sweetness.

Great as a filter, the Layyoo shines with it's fruity acidity, lingering blueberry and notes of nectarine. If you enjoy light and bright coffees that tingle with malic acidity, this is your go to!

One of our favourites is making a return and we couldn't be more excited. It's the return of the King of Guji, Laayyoo.

Produced in West Guji, in a forest jungle perched around 2100 meters above the sea, this naturally processed coffee is one of the cleanest cupping Ethiopian naturals we've had. Before being known as 'King of Guji, farmer and collective owner Ture Waji earned the moniker of 'Mr Clean' with the his clean cupping coffees. 

One of his secrets lies in his drying methods. The coffee cherries are dried in raised beds, and spread over more area than typical for a natural process. They are also agitated often to rotate and ensure that each cherry is dried evenly. Because of this thinner bed of coffee, and frequent rotation, less natural fermentation takes place during drying than typical natural processing allows.

This all adds up to a much cleaner cup of coffee, more sparkle and acidity than you would typically get from a natural, and more fresh fruit flavours. Expect notes of papaya, blueberry, and malic adidty — like you'd find in a green apple, an unexpected note in a natural coffee that we love.

This coffee is SUPERNATURAL... but it’s not a ghost. So what is it?

Supernatural coffee is a Natural coffee on steroids. Natural processed coffee is known for its fruity, funky, and boozy flavours, it is sweet, and is relatively low in acidity when compared to washed coffee. To achieve these flavours, the coffee is dried with the coffee cherry fully intact around the coffee bean. As the coffee dries in layers, the fruit slightly ferments, imparting fruity, boozy, and funky notes that you wouldn’t get from washed process coffee.

So how could you take this further? Project Origin have been working closely with Los Pirineos and together they have experimented with all kinds of processing methods. For Supernatural processing, only coffee cherries with a high percentage of sucrose, 20-22 degrees Brix, are selected. These high sucrose cherries are then placed in plastic Grain-Pro bags usually used for shipping coffee post processing, and left out in the sun to ferment and develop yellow, orange, and red fruit qualities. If lower Brix level coffee cherries were used, the fermentation wouldn’t happen at the same rate, and the result wouldn’t be as fruity or as sweet.

Post fermentation, these cherries are laid out in beds to dry. To accentuate the natural processing flavours, the drying bed is spread thin for even drying and consistent flavour, but is finished drying under shade so the drying stage is stretched out. This allows more contact time with the fruit on the bean, allowing more of the process flavours to transfer into the bean, and allows it to keep the sweetness.

The resulting coffee is intensely fruity, with a chocolate brownie aroma, and molasses like sweetness. Flavours of dark chocolate and papaya instantly hit the tongue, and more tropical notes come to the surface as it cools. A truly unique teat for the senses.

Tuca Diaz took over the reigns of the Santa Alina farm back in 2010, and she has been working to raise the quality of their micro-lots ever since. Nestled in the mountainous region of Sao Sebastio de Grama, at an altitude of 1100 meters, Santa Alina is known producing some of the most astounding coffee in the region. This is due to the continual upgrades and reinvention Tuca oversees to keep her farm at the forefront of speciality coffee. 

Some of the farming upgrades, such as moisture managing terraces, are for increased yields and consistency. Others, such as the fully equipped coffee laboratory and upgraded milling machinery, bring modern analysis and processing to the farm.

The most important investment Tuca made is into her employees. With 27 families living and working on the farm, Tuca made the important decision to swap from a 'trickle-down' management style, to a more collective arrangement. Now employees doing the work have as much say about daily farming operations as the farm owners themselves. To encourage this sense of community, Tuca has organised educational courses, housing improvements, and social events with music and food.

The coffee we're offering from Santa Alina is a Pulped Natural Bourbon. It has a classic chocolatey profile, with notes of pistachio, almond and caramel sweetness.

Pichia Kluyveri- and L. Plantarum Inoculated

Lot 010_015 is a Washed Geisha from Cafe Don Benjie.

Our [Lost Origin Lab] journey of experimentation has been influenced by our knowledge in beer making. Hence, several of our batches were fermented using microbe strains commonly used in the beer industry. However, we had a compromise to step into the unknown. During our first processing season, we had the opportunity to work with Chr. Hansen, which is a global company dedicated to bioscience. Through this collaboration we were granted access to a few strains we had not had the chance to work with before, among which were L. thermotolerans and Pichia kluyveri.

L. thermotolerans is a yeast species that is commonly found in grapes, plants and soil. As such, it is extensively used in wine fermentations. In terms of beer production,  L. thermotolerans is a species whose popularity has been increasing in recent years as an alternative strain for the production of sour beer. However, it is still not considered to be the main strain for the production of sour beer styles, and is currently not used in our brewery facility.

Pichia kluyveri is a microorganism that has been widely studied due to its ability to produce high volatile compound concentration as a result of its metabolism. Similar to L. thermotolerans, it is a species that is widely used in wine making.

In order to assess the impact of microbe metabolism as an isolated variable, and get familiarized with these microbes, we designed a few trial series. The first trial was composed of three lots, all of which used geisha cherries harvested from Don Benjie’s estate. The purpose of this first experiment was to compare how the cup profile was altered through varying microbe metabolism. For this reason, these batches were held under the same temperature, and were inoculated with Pichia kluyveri, L. plantarum, and a mixed starter culture of both microbes, correspondingly.

This particular lot has very clear notes of Jasmine, and a characteristic phosphoric acidity of Panamanian geisha. It has a good body with a sugarcane sweetness.

Zimzala's base of Brazil gives it a touch of hazelnut and body but then Peru comes in, singing of stone fruit. This combo elevates the coffee into a clean and crisp cup.

We like to think of our Zimzala coffee as the middle child of the blend family: brighter than it's older brother Bombora, more full and less fruity than it's younger sibling, Nosegrind.

It’s a modern take on a classic, a traditional full espresso blend with more citrus and sweetness than most. It will please all but has something extra for those with discerning tastebuds.. and isn’t that all of us anyway?

The powerful apricot zing of Zimzala is courtesy of a high-altitude Colombian coffee blended with a more rounded Brazilian bean. Combined they give a syrupy-sweet, yet well balanced shot, perfect for a morning-espresso or for a light yet complex milk-based drink.

Account Manager Danielle giving you a lil' guide of the Zimzala.

The Bombora was actually our very first blend, and oh my, a lot happened since. No one within our company quite remembers it's date of creation, but let’s just say it got forged in fire and a spinning roaster drum almost a decade ago.

Our Bombora blend has been a house blend staple for café’s across Amsterdam and the world, including our very own. It was our first creation, designed as a strong morning workhorse coffee that was sweeter than the status quo.

The secret to its success is its balance of full hazelnut and chocolate tones, tempered with caramel sweetness and a dash of dark cherry. To create this sensory experience, we roast a blend Guatemalan and Brazilian beans, with maximum chocolate sweetness as the goal.

Try it with milk for a nutty chocolate latte, or as a sweet syrupy espresso for that dark cherry aftertaste.

Hi, it’s Ray here reporting from the roastery.  
Although numbered a 3, the ‘Bombora’ was actually our very first blend – and oh my, a lot happened since. No one within our company quite remembers it’s date of creation, but let’s just say it got forged in fire and a spinning roaster drum almost a decade ago.
Used in many cafes nationwide and beyond for that morning workhorse coffee.
The Guatemala component, grown at high altitude on volcanic soil, powers through the milk and delivers a sweet chocolate syrupy espresso with a long lasting after taste.
The verdict: your morning hit.

We live in a society... and societies have traditions. FIVR is as traditional as it is a tradition. We didn’t reinvent the wheel this time, we just made it rounder and faster.

This roast level helps unlock the natural sweetness inherent in Brazilian coffee, accentuating the hazelnut and chocolate flavours this coffee provides, whilst still retaining some fruit notes. This helps it work well as an espresso or with milk.

If you are looking for a traditional espresso or a strong morning filter, the FIVR is your weapon of choice.

Marysabel grew up in the Honduran region Marcala and stems from a long generation of coffee producers, from which she has harnessed her passion for nature and knowledge of the Honduran terroir.

Moises is of Guatemalan origin. He worked as an accountant for a coffee exporter, however while spending his time at the cupping table he jumped wholeheartedly into specialty coffee. In the early 90’s, he was sent by his company as production manager to Honduras where he met Marysabel and was inspired to stay. In 1996 Moises and Marysabel married. Since then, they have two sons and run the farm as partners.

Every year, the family optimizes the processing methods at their mill in Chinacla, while paying great attention to environmental protection and sustainability. Among other things, Moises has set up a modern coffee eco-pulper to save as much water as possible. For instance, whereas de-pulping a 46 kg batch of coffee cherries would require 120 liters, he now uses 40 liters. The water is recirculated and cleaned after each use.

Moises has his own variety garden, which is affectionately called by Marysabel “Moises’ Garden of Eden”. Here he grows ancient, nearly forgotten coffee varieties in self-built greenhouses, does experiments and researches the effect and influence of temperature, water, wind, minerals and soil on his plants.

We're thrilled to have Moises and Marysabel's gesha lot land in our roastery. Expect notes of raspberry, cacao nibs and white grapes with a wonderful jasmin aroma.

Cuatro Caminos' Loma de Los Cedros is an 7.2 hectare farm at an average altitude of 1.550 meters above sea level and has around 36.150 trees. Formerly known as Finca Damarli, named after the previous owner’s daughter, is a beautiful farm located near Volcancito.

The farm is situated in the shadow of the famous Volcan Baru volcano, the source of the rich volcanic soil that makes Boquete coffee so desirable. Added to the ample supply of water and natural shade, all the ingredients are there to make the coffee from Loma de Los Cedros some of the best in town.

Geisha from Cuatro Caminos' Loma de Los Cedros has become one of the most elegant and beautiful geisha profiles we have had so far, and in 2019, we started the replanting process with this in-demand varietal, planting it among old Catuai trees.

SPOILER ALERT: NOT COFFEE. THIS IS THE HUSK/SKIN OF THE COFFEE CHERRY.

"Sara Morrocchi had first heard of Limmu Kossa ("Galeh" - named after the micro region where it's from) while still working for Sustainable Harvest. It struck her attention because of the rare combination of traits: a private specialty coffee estate that could export directly and which was run by a man known for his passion and integrity in the local community: Gidey Berhe Retta, or as the locals call him: Abba Ollie ("the one who uplifts"). 

A friend of Gidey, Abiy Ashenafi - who represents Limu Kossa abroad - just so happened to live in The Hague, so when Sara moved to Holland they reconnected. After cupping an amazing harvest, Sara introduced Abiy to me (Lennart) in 2017. The click between us was immediate and a partnership was born."

Our third creation, the Nosegrind, is for those die-hard coffee geeks, the misfits, explorers and adventure seekers. Originally created by us, young adults, who grew up in an eighties and nineties skater state. Mister T. Hawk would be proud.

Our third creation, the Nosegrind, is our fruitiest espresso yet.

In the same way that Rodney Mullen and Tony Hawk pushed skating beyond what it was and into what it became, the Nosegrind blend pushes the envelope of traditional espresso right off the rail. 

The two natural coffees work together to perform their duet, one holding down the body, the other hitting the high notes, all while being careful not to clash in the middle of the halfpipe. 

It’s sweet and fruity when served black, with a delicate balance of bright and smooth notes. With milk it transforms into a smooth chocolate strawberry milkshake.

We reckon try it as a funky espresso or as a full-fruity filter.

G’day mate! It’s LOT61’s roasting crew here.

Stanley x LOT61 The Shortstack Travel Mug

Stanley and LOT61 share many values: Imagination, a commitment to sustainability, a desire to create the best possible products, and a true sense of adventure and invention. The collection brings a number of classic Stanley items to the Amsterdam roastery, which is known for its craft.

When the two teams met, it was clear that there was a mutual passion for great gear and great coffee. So the obvious next step was to provide coffee-lovers with the best drinking experience ever.

Stanley The Perfect-Brew Pour Over

Perhaps one of your next best travel essentials. We believe this is equally as (if not more) important as a passport, toothbrush and a pair of fresh undies.

This cup goes where you go. 

Don't forget to order a bag of damn good coffee with it and complete the kit with a brewer. Tip, go Aeropress.

For a limited time, while supplies last.

An all time favorite and go-to brewer. You'll likely find this at the homes of most of our baristas.

An all time favorite and go-to brewer. You'll likely find this at the homes of most of our baristas.

Here's what Japanese manufacturer Kalita has to say about it:

"The feature of the Wave Series 185 is that the contact surface between the filter and the inner dripper with 20 waves is on the side, and is not in contact with the flat bottom. 
Due to the limited contact surfaces, hot water does not accumulate when poured in the long-term at an angle, but rather quickly drips to the Wave Zone."

The Wave Zone.. +1

Ps. don't forget to order some filters with it too (don't say we didn't warn you)

Musette Bag Green

Our decaf coffee got stripped from the jitters entirely chemically-free, by using a method called Swiss Water Processed®.

Time to put on your lab coat and safety glasses.. because we're going to cover decaf!

Our decaf coffee got stripped from the jitters entirely chemically-free, by using a method called Swiss Water Processed®.

The first step involves soaking the raw and unroasted beans in hot water to dissolve and separate the caffeine molecules present in coffee. Along with caffeine, also sugars and other natural components will dissolve (which we want to keep!)

Next, the filtered mixture passes through a charcoal filter which separates the caffeine from the sugars and other natural components. After separating the caffeine - the natural sugars and other components are getting added back to the mix by a last soaking cyclus. 

Done and ready for roasting!

Complicated? Nah, we think you got it.

Fresh Water Decaf

The mother of all scales. The Acaia Lunar is on the wish list of many a barista.

Supplier Acaia says:

"Designed for espresso machine drip trays, the Acaia Lunar is aesthetically functional for your weighing needs. The espresso scale is built with anodized aluminum. Its electronic parts inside and the LED display with a water-resistant spray to prevent water damage.

With an ultra-fast response time and high accuracy, you'll be able to track consistency across all of your espresso shots."

We couldn't have said it better. This one makes for one of the most beautiful coffee accessories we've ever seen.
