Description
Description
El Salvador - coffee's best-kept secret.
Flying under the radar, El Salvador is one of the coffee industry's best-kept secrets.
The secret is probably not the proper term.
Perhaps a hidden gem.
El Salvador produces a lovely coffee that works well in espresso and all other brew applications.
With a sweetness that surpasses Brazil, acidity that matches Costa Rica, and flavours so complex and delicious that they put shade on Guatemala and Honduras, it's a shame that El Salvador hasn't been able to surpass its neighbours in volume and reputation.
The most desirable attributes of El Salvador coffees are the juicy acidity and refined balance.
About El Salvador
Like many Central American countries, El Salvador has had complex challenges in the past and the immediate future.
An economy that has consistently failed for over a decade has impacted harvest volumes as they continue to decline yearly.
We fear that El Salvador coffees may eventually disappear from the global market.
Despite what seems like almighty challenges, Coffees from El Salvador are simply stunning.
It's nothing less than a true Cinderella story, clearly better than many other coffee-growing origins.
El Salvador is a fusion of the best from all other coffee-growing regions in Central America.
El Salvador coffees are grown at high altitudes (1,400 - 1,500 masl) in shaded plantations, which provides a perfect climate.
Experienced coffee roasters know how good El Salvador coffee can be and often feature in espresso blends used by barista champions over the past decade.
Our showcase coffee from El Salvador
We are bringing a complex, fresh, sweet, and perfectly balanced flavour for a single-origin coffee with added hints of mandarin and cocoa.
Our El Salvador offering is a beautiful single-origin coffee from the El Borbollon Estate in the Volcan de Santa Ana region.
The Alvarez family manages them.
This delightful bourbon varietal displays lush citrus and cocoa flavours.
A thoroughly washed coffee with a hint of fruit has a beautiful mandarin citric acidity fused with rich, smooth chocolate in a perfectly balanced and clean cup.
There is something delicious about mandarin and chocolate - like a gourmet dessert.
El Salvador has experienced many years of challenging conditions for its coffee industry.
We are hopeful that the coffee community in El Salvador will turn the corner and rise again.
The coffees we see from El Salvador are spectacular, and along with the rest of the coffee community, we can see incredible potential if only more inventory were available to purchase.
El Salvadorean farmers are implementing programs to focus more on specialty - much like how Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras, and Colombia have transformed.

Why our coffees are different
Our custom SUPA-ROASTA is a one-of-a-kind, fully cast-iron platform using the most advanced computer controls for ultra-precise roasting of the best-tasting coffees.
These days, complete cast-iron roasting systems are extremely rare. Only cast-iron platforms can impart that highly desirable soft, moist heat into the coffee beans.
Would the best chefs and BBQ experts cook their culinary delights on Stainless, Alloy or Mild Steel or Air ?
Nope, neither would we.
mycuppa's SUPA-ROASTA creates coffees with smooth, rich, high-flavoured tastes, full and syrupy body, fine acidity and of course our trademark long, sweet finish.
Nothing compares.
how we roast your coffee
Roasting coffee is a precise science. These days, computer profiles perform most of the automated tasks for controlling a roast profile. However, through better quality control via tasting, testing and optimization, we can make a big difference to the finished product through setting special parameters.

Ground coffee is poor value
Whole beans are the only way to enjoy freshly roasted coffee.
The moment coffee beans are ground, most of the essential, active compounds in ground coffee oxidize rapidly, losing vitality, aroma, flavour and body.
Ground coffee barely lasts 15 minutes; even sealed packs lose more than 80% of the critical essence in 2 weeks.
Unfortunately, once you open and close that pack, it's game over, and the ground coffee continues to stale at 20x the rate of whole beans inside of a sealed, unopened pack.
If you love coffee, please don't waste money buying pre-ground packs; you only get a small part of the wonderful coffee experience.
Buy a decent grinder and purchase whole beans; it makes a huge difference in aroma, flavour, and enjoyment.
