Farm History

We have a lot in common with the Mierisch family, including one of our first direct trade connections. We have been sourcing coffee from Erwin and his family for almost 20 years now and maintain a close friendship with them.

Their story begins at the end of the 19th century with Bruno Mierisch Böttiger, a German geologist. He was employed by the Nicaraguan government to support the expansion of the country's rail network. As the government was unable to pay him in full, they offered him land in the mountains of Matagalpa. He accepted the offer and started a lemon farm. It was not until 1908, thanks to government support, that he planted his first coffee trees. Since then, the Mierisch family, now in its fifth generation, has made a living from growing coffee. "Las Delicias" is part ot the family. Year after year, they devotedly produce one of the most delicious Yellow Pacamara Arabicas ever. At the last "Los Favoritos" competition, the lots that tasted the best by far were both from them. After a seemingly endless auction, we were able to secure these wonderful 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.

Espresso tastes sour	Grind too coarse Under dosed Forgot to tamp → results in shorter shot time	Finer grind Increase dose Tamp → results in longer shot time
Espresso is too strong	Over dosed Too little water	Decrease dose Increase amount of water
Espresso is too mild/weak	Under dosed Too much water	Increase dose Decrease amount of water

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!
