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.

What is the Popayán Femenino project?
Popayán Femenino is a women-led coffee project from Colombia’s Cauca region, centred around Popayán and coordinated through CENCOIC (the Central Indigenous Cooperative of Cauca).
The project brings together coffees grown by Indigenous women producers, primarily from Nasa communities and neighbouring Indigenous groups. These women play a central role in coffee production — from farming and harvesting through to post-harvest work — and Popayán Femenino helps ensure their contribution is recognised and fairly valued.
Beyond producing export-quality, specialty-grade coffee, the project focuses on strengthening household incomes and supporting long-term community resilience. It’s built on Indigenous cooperativism, with a strong emphasis on shared decision-making, care for land, and respect for cultural identity.
Popayán Femenino looks beyond flavour alone. It’s about supporting women growers, fairer systems, and communities building sustainable livelihoods on their own terms.
Our social projects
We create opportunities.
We know, that together we are creating better opportunities for women and their families. That’s why we source 40% of our coffees directly from women's coffee growers. And we reinvest funds in social projects that create a profound change in our coffee growing communities. and fund projects that advance women.
