All of the coffee co-operatives we partner with focus on improving gender equality, and within their programs a small number of them promote coffee lots which have been produced solely by women from within their organisations. We’re into our ninth year of partnering with the ASOBAGRI co-operative, which is located in the region of Guatemala which sees the highest number of worker migrants per capita within the country – mostly men - departing to the United States in search of better income opportunities. Partly in response to this situation, ASOBAGRI has established its Cafe con Manos de Mujer (womens' coffee) program, which offers additional support to women within its membership who are farming alone because they are widowed, or single, or wives of men who have left to live in the US. This short video clip shares a little of the story of Sebastiana Martinez Gomez, who in the wake of losing her husband is benefitting from ASOBAGRI’s womens’ program (video courtesy of Royal Coffee).

i would like to share some top tips for keeping your coffee machine clean. Most people may know to backwash the machine. Use a blind filter and run the pump. That cleans the water paths through the group. But this is pointless if the shower screen is clogged and dirty. Backwashing will not clear hardened oils. Check under your group head and look at the screen. If it's looking blocked it will make a bad shot no matter what. It will unevenly distribute the water to one side or wherever it's not blocked and some of your basket will not be doing anything remaining unextracted. They are very simple to remove. Usually one bolt. And just replace them with a new one. They are cheap. There will be many machines out there that could benefit from this simple clean or replace item that will greatly improve your coffee. Below are some photos of a group head with the screen and dispersion disk removed. Clean both. Simple to remove one screw

Where do you buy your coffee?. Want to be able to get fresh coffee fast with little hassle. . We have teamed up with a super efficient reliable local courier system to achieve just that. It's easy and fast and supports the local courier and roaster keeping them both busy. Fresh coffee couldn't be easier or faster. Delivered same day within chch city or next day across NZ. Order 1 kg or 500grams of fresh roasted coffee before 8am and you will have it by the time you arrive home on the same day. . 1kg or 500grams roasted fresh will last longer than coffee you may be purchasing at the supermarket. You will be surprised how fresh it still tastes even after a month. Packaged supermarket coffee is never as fresh or long lasting. So a 500gram bag of this stuff saves you constantly heading to the super market, 'time money hassle'. Wouldn't it be nice to find this on your doorstep when you get home from work fresh as fresh!! Order now on this site.
