Farm History

Antonio and Sebastiano Da Silva grew up in a very large family. The two of them count a total of 13 siblings. About 20 years ago, the family began to use 1-hectare of their land start cultivating coffee. An experiment quickly turned into a real passion – a passion that should bear excellent fruit in time!

Today cultivation of coffee is the main income of the family. The region in which the farm is located, has ideal characteristics: a very fertile soil, well-defined seasons and an advantageous altitude - the best conditions to cultivate quality coffee.

Another goal of the family is the preservation of natural resources on the farm. The coffee cherries are picked by hand and then sun-dried on the farm's own terraces. A great effort, which pays for itself. Together, the two brothers have won several awards for their coffees.

Preparation Espresso

There are many different recipes that lead to an excellent cup of espresso. This example should serve as a basic recipe and can be changed and adapted according to your wishes and willingness to experiment. For each espresso of our line-up we provide a recipe that works well for us.

Preparation in a portafilter (general rules of thumb)

Water temperature	90-96 °C
Brewing ratio	1:2,8
Dose	18 g
Yield	50 g
Time	25-30 s

Step by step instructions

Take the portafilter out of your brew group and rinse the group briefly.
Place your clean and dry portafilter on a scale and tare it.
Grind the desired amount of coffee (dose) into your portafilter.
Distribute the ground coffee evenly in the sieve, you can use your finger here or a distributor.
When tamping, it is important to apply pressure vertically to the coffee to ensure even compaction. It is also important to apply pressure only once to avoid channeling.
Remove any coffee residue from the edge of the screen.
Start your shot as soon as you place the portafilter in the group.
Stop your shot when your target yield is reached.
When there’s no more coffees to make, empty, clean and dry your portafilter, flush the group and place the portafilter back into the group to ensure it stays hot.

Family Project Supremo

Our quality standards

We are convinced that no machine can replace a traditional roasting start and a good roasting master. At Supremo, coffee is not industrially produced - because Supremo is a traditional family coffee roaster. Day after day we work hard together to produce the best coffee and to inspire our customers for true coffee enjoyment! We attach great importance to first-class and always checked manual work.

The roasting craft

We roast in several small, traditional cast-iron roasting drums. We take our time until the coffee is really well roasted - each roasting batch separately. Due to the slow roasting, the coffee tastes strong and is particularly easy on the stomach and digestible. Insiders call this "Cast Iron Slow Roast". We call it: "Good things take time". Because if you roast too hot and too fast, you get beans that are brown on the outside - but don't reveal much of the magic inside. But this is exactly what we want to get out of the beans. After roasting, we do not rub the beans with water. We cool them with air and thus give them the opportunity to intensify the roasting aroma. Best craftsmanship and time - that is our secret!
