We're all familiar with Cruz Alta, having been a staple of our single-origin offering over the past few years, so you bet we were even more excited to get it into pod form for the first time...

Fazenda Cruz Alta had its first planting in 1923 when Ladário Deodoro da Silva took on the land and turned to coffee to support his family. Many years on, his grandson, Enison Lopes Ferreira, is continuing in the family's footsteps on the Cruz Alta farm with help from his younger brother and three children.

In 2016, the family began a quality project to guide the planting of speciality coffee over the next ten years. The initiative has seen the farm move to particularly focus on soil characteristics, altitude, sun position and varieties before new crops are planted. They have also invested in improved post-harvest production including suspended terraces to get the best out of their top lots.

Pop, pour, compost! (Oh did we say 100% home compostable!)

 

Need a Pod Machine? We recommend The Morning Machine with our coffee. The world's first specialty coffee pod machine. 



We have developed three neat controls to ensure you are tasting the best the pod has to offer.

1. Use filtered water - best option to extract the same tasty flavours as us. 

2. Weigh the shot - Just like our core range, it's important to weigh your espresso shot. We have been trialling this and feel the right zone is 26-30g, 30g being optimal. 

3. 96 degrees celsius - if you're able to adapt machines temperatures.
