On the palate, you'll find a delicious sweetness of nuts, nougat, and marzipan, paired with a subtle fruitiness reminiscent of ripe apples. The medium roast gives this coffee a pleasant finish of milk chocolate and waffle. This makes it suitable both for a balanced, sweet espresso and as a harmonious base for milk-based coffee drinks.

Unión Majomut, a non-profit organization, unites approximately 1,000 families from 35 indigenous communities of the Tsotzil and Tseltal ethnic groups in the highlands of Chiapas, at altitudes of 900–1600 meters. Organic coffee cultivation takes place on small, family-run farms in the shade among various other crops. The organic fertilizers, diverse flora and fauna, and nutrient-rich soils ensure exceptionally healthy coffee plant growth.

The cooperative was founded in 1981 by small-scale coffee producers with the aim of improving the living conditions of its members through the production, processing, and marketing of organic coffee and other organic products. In addition to food security, environmental protection and the democratic participation of all members are cornerstones of this cooperative.

The holistic improvement of living conditions includes programs for the renovation and construction of housing, improved food self-sufficiency, and the promotion of the economic participation of female members. All programs are shaped by the customs and traditions of the indigenous communities.

Through direct trade with Majomut, the producers achieve a far higher income than when selling to intermediaries and, thanks to the long-term, stable relationship with Süssmund, are independent of the volatile fluctuations of the commodity markets.

    About ten years ago, Helmut Ulrich launched Soul Seed, a project with a strong focus on sustainability, at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains in Colombia. The organic cultivation of heirloom Arabica coffee plants is carried out in harmony with nature. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are kept away from these coffee plants and the harvest workers. Fertilization is done exclusively with the farm's own compost, chicken manure, and recycled water. While organic coffee farming has always been practiced on the farm, the high costs for the small operation led to the decision to forgo organic certification starting with the 2025 harvest.

    The Austrian-born farmer places particular emphasis on involving the local population in his project. Therefore, the harvest workers on the farm are paid double the local average wage. Furthermore , as many processing steps as possible are deliberately carried out by hand rather than by machine, thus ensuring that the harvest workers retain more of their earnings.

    To enrich the unique flora and fauna on and around the coffee farm, Helmut is actively reforesting. For every sack of coffee sold, 100 native trees are planted. He also supports his neighbors with coffee seedlings so they can improve their harvests.

    The wet processing of the coffee cherries takes place directly on the farm, which is difficult to reach by vehicle. After the pulp is removed, the coffee beans are fermented in tanks for 18 hours. This process removes the remaining pulp and mucilage. The coffee beans are then washed and dried on raised beds in Africa. This processing method results in a particularly clean cup profile.

    The dark roast gives this coffee a full body and pleasing roasted aromas. Flavors of dark chocolate, caramel, and dried fruit delight the palate. This coffee is particularly well-suited for classic espresso and milk-based drinks.

    Süssmund's first Arabica blend is a low-acid dark roast, very chocolatey and full-bodied. It was inspired by strong women (mujeres fuertes) in coffee cultivation. In our search for the perfect green coffee beans, we found what we were looking for at two cooperatives in Colombia (El Bombo) and Peru (La Prosperidad de Chirinos).

    Both cooperatives specifically promote the economic participation and health of women in coffee farming. Measures include providing knowledge to optimize agricultural techniques and the subsequent processing of coffee cherries on the farm. This allows members to improve the quality and yield of their harvest and generate a higher income. The Prosperidad de Chirinos cooperative also pays female producers in its "Cosecha de Mujer" program an additional premium for every sack of coffee.

    The producers' farms are designed as mixed-crop systems. Crops planted among the coffee bushes provide shade, healthy soil, and habitat for birds and insects. These crops and their organic fertilizers thus enable rich biodiversity.

    The ripe coffee cherries are hand-picked and then processed directly on the farms. First, the coffee beans are separated from the pulp using small, hand-operated pulpers. Next, the beans are fermented in tanks for 12-36 hours and then washed in water basins. After this wet processing (washed), the coffee beans are dried on raised beds before the dried parchment is transported to the dry mill. There, the beans are separated from the parchment, sorted by quality, and prepared for export.

    We are delighted to present this deliciously chocolatey espresso. It tastes particularly good as a classic espresso, but also harmonizes very well with milk.

    The espresso for true connoisseurs

    True coffee lovers only settle for the best, and true espresso fans know what really matters: choosing the right beans. The selection in the open market usually leaves much to be desired. With us, however, you'll find a wide range of different espressos. We offer roasts from light to dark and rely on sustainably grown coffee beans, traded directly whenever possible. We roast them fresh every week in our own drum roaster. You'll taste this commitment to quality with every single sip of your espresso.

    If you're more of a fruity type who appreciates complex aromas and variety, we recommend our light roast. Our Chelbessa Organic Espresso from Ethiopia has a unique aroma with fruity notes. Our medium roast espressos offer the perfect balance between sweetness, acidity, roasted notes, and body. The flavor spectrum ranges from spices and exotic fruits to chocolate and nuts. Discover our Dolce Cerrado from Brazil or Oaxaca Organic from Mexico. Our dark roasts are particularly low in acid. They have a pronounced roasted aroma and offer flavors of dark chocolate, caramel, and roasted nuts. Our customers love our traditional espresso varieties, such as Montecristo Organic from Nicaragua or our Nocciola Organic Blend. We encourage you to try them out and find the perfect espresso for your coffee enjoyment.

    The origin of espresso

    As the name suggests, espresso was invented in Italy at the end of the 19th century. At that time, Naples and Milan were considered the centers of coffee culture. But a merchant from Naples found that preparing the traditional coffee took far too long. So he collaborated with the Milanese engineer Luigi Bezzera and tinkered with him on a new preparation method. The two Italians ultimately developed the first espresso machine, which used high-pressure steam to force finely ground coffee in just 30 seconds. Shortly after 1900, this new preparation method conquered Milanese restaurants and from there, the entire world. Espresso and portafilter machines are still produced in Milan today under the Bezzera name.

    In Italy, the classic espresso is simply called “caffè.” But this hot drink can be enhanced in many ways with milk and other ingredients. A popular example is the classic cappuccino with foamed milk. Traditionally, the ratio of coffee, milk, and milk foam should be equal. The Viennese Melange, on the other hand, is traditionally prepared with a slightly longer espresso (35-40 ml), more milk, and less milk foam. Espresso also serves as the base for a long shot of espresso and a little hot water, ideally served separately or diluted with it after the espresso has been made. Other popular drinks are cortado, flat white, latte macchiato, and café au lait, which are also based on espresso. As you can see, you can create so many different dishes with espresso. This hot drink is definitely not boring.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What defines a good espresso?

    A simple espresso consists of approximately 25-30 ml of water and 8-9 g of coffee. More water or less coffee would negatively affect the flavor. The run-time, or extraction time, should be around 25 seconds (+/- 3 seconds). If the espresso runs faster, it's a sign of under-extraction. If it runs slower, it's a sign of over-extraction.
    The crema is more of a visual quality criterion than a taste criterion. It contains a particularly high amount of CO2, which is why the crema tastes quite bitter. Nevertheless, a cohesive, albeit thin, crema is a criterion for a good espresso.

    How do espresso beans and filter coffee beans differ?

    The difference lies in the roasting level. Filter coffee beans are roasted for a shorter time and are developed for a shorter period than espresso beans. Development time in coffee roasting refers to the time from the first crack at around 200°C until the end of the roast. Our filter coffees are roasted for approximately 10 minutes, depending on the roast quantity, and are developed for 1:30 to 2:00 of that time. Espresso beans, on the other hand, are roasted for around 14 to 17 minutes, and are developed for between 2:30 and 4 minutes.
    Due to the different roasting times, the final temperature and color of the coffee beans also vary. Filter coffee beans are therefore somewhat lighter than espresso beans. It's worth noting that some coffee roasters don't differentiate between roasts for filter coffee and espresso, opting for an omni-roast approach, meaning one roast profile for all preparation methods. We have chosen to adapt our roast profiles to the preparation method and taste preferences of our customers.

    Do espresso beans have more caffeine than filter coffee beans?

    No, the caffeine content is not influenced by the roasting time or the roasting profile. The caffeine content varies depending on the coffee variety. The Arabica varieties, which grow at elevations of around 800 m and above, have approximately the same amount of caffeine (1.2%-1.5%), although there are differences within this variety. The Canephora plants – also called Robusta – growing in lowlands below 1000 m, on the other hand, have twice as much caffeine as the Arabica plants (2.2%-3%). This is because the coffee bushes in the lowlands are better protected against pests thanks to their higher caffeine content.
    In addition to the coffee variety, the caffeine content also varies depending on the preparation method. For example, while more caffeine is extracted from the coffee bean when preparing an espresso at 9 bar pressure than with filter coffee, you consume a much smaller amount. Therefore, you consume less caffeine with an espresso than with a cup of filter coffee.
