The Coffee Menu

All our coffee comes from the farms Bel visited during her PhD fieldwork. She has met the farmers, played around in the coffee mills where this coffee is processed and may have even helped pick some of it!

cecocafen      In Nicaragua, our coffee comes from some very small farms in the Matagalpa region. The farmers all work together within the Cecocafen  cooperative, who operate the processing mill for all the farms. Cecocafen is Fair Trade and organic certified, and all their coffee is altitude- and shade grown Arabica. For more information of what life is like on one of the cooperative coffee farms, please take a look at Doctor Coffee's Blog



cristina    Our Costa Rican coffee comes from Cafe Cristina, a small, independent farm near Paraiso  ("Paradise"!) on the side of one of the Central Valley's many volcanoes. The farm owners, Ernie  and Linda Carmen, are passionate about the environment and they farm coffee with the aim of preserving the biodiversity of the natural cloudforest as far as possible. As they say: 'a healthy earth grows great coffee!'. Click on their logo to visit their own website. 



AmecafeFor a limited time only, we are offering Amecafe, a delicious arabica blend from different regions in Mexico, with a distinctive nutty flavour. This is medium-roasted and we think it works far better for filter coffee than espresso. As such, you can try it in its simple form - and all the better for it.

Love our coffee? Try it at home!

We are now selling 1lb 'stay-fresh' bags of our Costa Rican Cafe Cristina organic coffee for you to brew at home. (That is 454g - or twice the size of the bags of coffee you usually buy in supermarkets) It is in whole bean form, meaning it will stay fresher for longer, and can be ground up using a normal blender when you need it. It is medium-roasted and so perfect for filter or perculator coffee machines, although we can provide a darker roast for espresso machines. This coffee is priced at £7 per bag - (it has come all the way from Costa Rica!). You can buy it directly from the Ape van on the market stalls, or please order via email to drcoffee, and pay with a cheque or via Paypal. Enjoy!
