Val&tins Garden Isule Pure, Uganda

Single origin Arabica coffee from the highlands of western Uganda. Isule Pure has a fruity flavour with notes of berries and caramel. With a medium roast, the subtle flavour nuances are retained and is ideal for preparing as an espresso or coffee drink with milk.The Isule coffee plantation is located at the foot of the Rwenzori massif in western Uganda, also known as the Mountains of the Moon. The ripe cherries are picked by hand, washed and dried in the sun. The Pure Isule is grown biodynamically by the farmers of the small Katabukenene cooperative, free from pesticides or artificial fertilisers.The Rwenzori Massif is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its high ecological importance. The Greek geographer Ptolemy wrote about the legendary "Mountains of the Moon", where the Nile is said to have originated. Trees covered in dense lichen and unspoilt plants line the path to one of the most beautiful natural paradises in Central Africa. Despite its close proximity to the equator, the climate is pleasantly mild and the soil is rich in nutrients. These ideal conditions favour the cultivation of high-quality Arabica coffee.The plantation is located at over 1,600m above sea level. The ripe coffee cherries are carefully picked by hand on the steep slopes. The coffee is washed, processed and dried in the sun. Coffee is the only source of income for the Isule village. Every additional franc that the farmers receive per kilogramme secures the income for the families and thus also the expensive school fees for the many children.In western Uganda, the coffee is often sold to middlemen at below cost price and mixed with other low-quality varieties. In this way, coffee of varying quality ends up on the world market. val&tin garden believe that direct trade offers a real opportunity to bring producers and consumers together directly. They have therefore launched the Isulecoffee project. With this project, they provide farmers with a direct market connection and thus sustainably improve the working and living conditions in Isule.

Kimbo Pompei Pads

Kimbo Pompei Pads

Die Mischung Pompei wurde für alle entwickelt, die ihren Kaffee intensiv, kraftvoll und mit viel Körper lieben. Kimbo setzt hier auf eine klare, süditalienische Stilistik: dunkel geröstet, würzig und mit einer beeindruckend dichten Crema. Jede Tasse zeigt, wie ausdrucksstark Espresso sein kann, wenn Robusta-Bohnen den Ton angeben und eine kleine Portion Arabica für Balance sorgt. Der Kimbo Pompei präsentiert sich kräftig und intensiv, mit einer ausgesprochen dichten und langanhaltenden Crema. Im Geschmack entfaltet sich ein voller Körper mit erdigen und würzigen Noten, begleitet von einer tiefen, dunklen Röstaromatik. Die Mischung wirkt sehr rund und bleibt trotz ihrer Kraft angenehm ausgewogen. Besonders auffällig ist die sehr geringe Säure, die dem Espresso eine schwere, fast cremige Struktur verleiht. Der Nachgeschmack ist lang, intensiv und typisch süditalienisch. Die Kimbo Pompei Pads sind im E.S.E. Standard mit 44 mm Durchmesser gefertigt und damit ideal für alle kompatiblen E.S.E. Padmaschinen. Die Zubereitung ist einfach und konstant: Pad einlegen, Bezug starten und wenige Sekunden später fliesst ein kräftiger Espresso mit dichter Crema in die Tasse. Die Mischung eignet sich perfekt für einen kurzen, intensiven Espresso, kann aber auch als Basis für Cappuccino oder Latte Macchiato verwendet werden, wenn ein besonders durchsetzungsstarker Kaffee gefragt ist. Die Mischung besteht aus 90 Prozent Robusta und 10 Prozent Arabica und folgt damit konsequent der neapolitanischen Espressotradition. Robusta sorgt für Körper, Intensität und Crema, während der kleine Arabica-Anteil die Aromatik abrundet. Mit einer Intensität von 12 von 13 gehört dieser Kaffee klar zu den kräftigen Vertretern seiner Kategorie. In der Packung befinden sich 150 E.S.E. Pads, ideal für alle, die regelmaessig starken Espresso trinken und Wert auf eine schnelle, saubere Zubereitung legen.

How do E.S.E. pods work?

The way E.S.E. pods work differs from other pods for making coffee. They have been specially developed for use in a portafilter. The water is pressed through the small E.S.E. pods at a pressure of around 10 to 12 bar to prepare the espresso. This pressure and the precise dosage ensure an intense and delicious espresso.

What do I need to consider when choosing E.S.E. pods?

The variety of E.S.E. pods allows you to discover different types of coffee and flavours. From strong espresso to mild café crème, the choice is huge. You can choose the type of coffee to suit your preferences and mood and indulge your senses.

Why E.S.E. pods for making coffee?

E.S.E. pods offer numerous advantages for coffee lovers. They are a cost-effective alternative to capsules or pods from other systems. Although the machines that use E.S.E. pods may be slightly more expensive, they save you the purchase of a complete portafilter machine, grinder and other accessories. This makes them an economical choice for high-quality coffee enjoyment.

What makes E.S.E. pods particularly good?

E.S.E. pods are characterised by their precision and quality. The standardised amount of espresso powder, the perfect grind and the filter paper, which consists exclusively of coffee and filter paper, guarantee barista quality in every cup. These single portions allow you to try different types and brands of coffee without compromising on quality.

Are E.S.E. coffee pods sustainable?

Yes, E.S.E. pods are an environmentally friendly choice. They are made from filter paper and espresso powder, which makes them a sustainable option. Compared to capsules, which are often made of plastic or aluminium, E.S.E. pods have a better carbon footprint. They use less packaging material per serving and are 100% compostable. Some roasting companies even do away with aluminium completely, which further strengthens the environmentally friendly trend.

Are coffee pods all the same?

Yes, coffee pods are standardised, regardless of the manufacturer. This means that you can use coffee pods from different brands in your pod machine without any restrictions on compatibility.

What is the difference between E.S.E. and capsule systems?

E.S.E. pods focus on practicality and sustainability. They are made from filter paper and espresso powder and are therefore easier to compost and more environmentally friendly than capsules made from plastic and aluminium. While capsule systems often use more elaborate packaging and materials, E.S.E. pods focus on quality and environmental awareness.

The E.S.E. system offers you the opportunity to enjoy high-quality espresso and coffee without harming the environment. It is the ideal choice for anyone who appreciates coffee quality and wants to promote sustainability at the same time.
