Café en Grano250g (8.8OZ)
Es un honor volver a tener el café de Diego Horta en nuestra web; cada vez que podemos ofrecer su trabajo, es una ocasión genuina. Con solo 20 años, Diego asumió la dirección de El Rincón, la finca que su familia ha trabajado durante generaciones, y desde entonces se ha convertido en una de las voces jóvenes más emocionantes en la escena del café de especialidad de Huila, lo suficientemente respetado como para ser buscado por los mejores tostadores desde Berlín hasta Chicago. Este lote proviene de su finca en Santa María, cultivado en un terreno empinado a 1.800 metros sobre el nivel del mar, y procesado utilizando el método de lavado que Diego ha perfeccionado con meticuloso cuidado. La nuez tostada es el sabor principal, rico y con matices a frutos secos, antes de que una brillante ráfaga de pomelo atraviese el medio. El final es donde EL RINCÓN se distingue: una nota cálida y alcohólica a whisky que perdura, dándole a toda la taza un peso y una complejidad que no se encuentra a menudo a esta altitud. Tostado medio para lograr equilibrio. Un café que recompensa una preparación lenta y una mañana tranquila. Expectativas: Nuez · Pomelo · Whisky Tostado: Medio Proceso: Lavado Región: Huila, Colombia Productor: Diego Horta Altitud: 1.800 MSNM Disponibilidad: Limitada — este lote no será reabastecido.

Origin ORIGEN AISLADO
Coffee is sourced seasonally for clarity, sweetness, and a distinctive sense of place.
Brew method CAFÉ EXPRESO
Designed to stay expressive across filter and espresso recipes. Use the guide below as a starting point.

Espresso

Dialing in for espresso is about pressure.

Dose - Espresso

Always weigh it out. Most espresso shots start around a 1:2 ratio — for example, 18 grams of coffee in, 36 grams of espresso out. Small changes here shift body and intensity in big ways.

Grind - Espresso

Your grind is your foundation. Too coarse and the shot rushes through, leaving you sour and thin. Too fine and it chokes the puck, dragging out bitterness and flattening your crema. Aim for a fine, sand-like grind and adjust based on taste.

Tamp

Even, level pressure matters more than how hard you press. An uneven tamp creates channels, letting water blast through the weak spots instead of pulling evenly through the whole puck.

Extraction

Watch the pour: it should start slow and syrupy, almost like warm honey, then build into a steady, thinning stream. A shot that gushes early or drips too slow is telling you to adjust your grind before your next pull.

Total Shot Time

For most espresso shots, you're looking at about 25–30 seconds, start to finish.

Coffee FAQ

Q: What does “specialty coffee” mean?

Specialty coffee is carefully evaluated for quality, traceability, and flavor—from cultivation and processing through roasting and brewing.

Q: Where does BIGFACE source its coffees from?

We source distinctive coffees from exceptional producers and regions around the world, selecting each release for clarity, sweetness, and character.

Q: Why do tasting notes mention fruit, flowers, or chocolate?

Those notes describe flavors and aromas naturally present in the coffee. Nothing is added; they are reference points for what you may experience in the cup.

Q: How should I store my coffee?

Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct light, heat, moisture, and strong odors. Grind only what you plan to brew.

Q: Is specialty coffee worth the higher price?

The price reflects careful sourcing, producer expertise, quality-focused processing, and small-batch roasting—all of which show up in the final cup.
