El Puente

Marysabel grew up in the Honduran region Marcala and stems from a long generation of coffee producers, from which she has harnessed her passion for nature and knowledge of the Honduran terroir.

Moises is of Guatemalan origin. He worked as an accountant for a coffee exporter, however while spending his time at the cupping table he jumped wholeheartedly into specialty coffee. In the early 90’s, he was sent by his company as production manager to Honduras where he met Marysabel and was inspired to stay. In 1996 Moises and Marysabel married. Since then, they have two sons and run the farm as partners.

Every year, the family optimizes the processing methods at their mill in Chinacla, while paying great attention to environmental protection and sustainability. Among other things, Moises has set up a modern coffee eco-pulper to save as much water as possible. For instance, whereas de-pulping a 46 kg batch of coffee cherries would require 120 liters, he now uses 40 liters. The water is recirculated and cleaned after each use.

Their coffees are dried either on patios, or on the approximately 250 African Beds in the garden of their house in Marcala.

Our coffee is treated with care

Meticulous Quality

We hope to provide our customers with the best and therefore pay close attention to all factors affecting the quality of our coffee. These include cultivar, growing altitude, climate, soil chemistry, harvesting and processing conditions, drying method, storage conditions, transportation, roasting conditions, grind size, brewing water and brewing recipes.

Highly Curated

Each one of our coffees is carefully selected by our roasting team. Before we buy in bulk, we go through many samples from different specialty coffee estates. Often times we are working with the most renowned coffee producers in the world.

Small Batch Roasting

All our coffee is roasted in our Roastery in Westbahnstraße 13, in Vienna. We roast small batches (10kg max) because we have better control over all the parameters that impact the flavour profile and can therefore better guarantee consistency.

Ethically Sourced

We ensure traceability for all our coffees. Our house Espresso from Nicaragua is directly traded without any middle-men and when we go through a wholesaler, complete transparency is a must. We want to provide our customers with the ability to know where their coffee comes from down to the name of each farmer.
