Brewing methods that work best for this coffee.
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, or in the case of coffee in your taste buds. There is no right or wrong, in how you enjoy your coffee.
For us, we love drinking the Mrs. Robinson coffee blend as espresso (super rich), plunger (comforting), stovetop and AeroPress. Enjoy with or without milk.

Recipe
Dose: 22g
Yield: 44g
Extraction ratio: 1 : 2
Extraction time: 28 - 32 seconds
Water temperature: 93.5oC
About the recipe
We used the Victoria Arduino Eagle One Prima and the Mythos MYG75 grinder to create this recipe for you. Try to replicate this recipe on your equipment or create your very own.
The dose is the amount of ground coffee that goes into the filter basket of your portafilter. Filter baskets come in different sizes. The size of your portafilter determines how much coffee (fill weight) it can hold. You don’t want to overfill or underfill the basket, as it will compromise the extraction.
The yield is how much delicious coffee you extract or, in order words, ends up in your cup.
And because you may have a different basket size than ours, you want to use a yield based on your dose and the given extraction ratio.
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.

Peru - Cafe Femenino
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.
That's in our Mrs Robinson Blend.
Colombia - ASMUCAFE
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 advance women
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.
