Farm History

"Los Cuarteles" stands for more than just an exceptional Microlot. Mario and his brother Freddy show that as a family of simple means a vision and ambition itself can make a difference.

For many years they have sold their coffee, as all farmers in their region, to the local mill.Since Mario cultivated coffee wholeheartedly, he wanted to know how his coffee would fare under a professional review, so he let his coffee be evaluated by an independent institute. If you take a closer look at the parameters of the terroir of his farm, it is not surprising that the result of the test turned out very promising. This moved them to ventured forth and start their own mill. A fellow farmer pushed Mario to submit his coffee for Supremo' Microlot Challenge. A blind tasting made clear that his coffee could not only compete with the longtime professionals - it also stood out positively because of it's extreme sweetness and berry fruit flavors. After getting to know Mario, Freddy and their families, we were moved to support them with our Family Connect Program, seeingtheir ambition setting up their own DIY-Coffee-Mill with the most simple means.

We are very excited to be supporting this family project and to present this special Microlot to you.

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!
