Rest Coffee Matinilla, Costa Rica
Pure Costa Rica. This coffee brings the Costa Rican sunshine straight into your cup. Matinilla from Rast Kaffee delights with fine floral notes, accompanied by a refreshing grapefruit nuance and a delicate pistachio flavour. A coffee that will surprise you anew with every sip. Matinilla is a pure Arabica from the Heredia region. It seduces with a floral aroma and a sweet apricot flavour. It unfolds on the palate in a multi-layered way: floral freshness, subtle grapefruit and fine pistachios combine to create an elegant and harmonious flavour experience. Whether as a mild espresso or as a perfectly balanced café crème - this coffee shows its strengths in both variants. It also offers exciting nuances when prepared as a filter coffee, although it is most convincing as a café crème. Matinilla is produced by the traditional Coopelibertad R.L., a cooperative that has been supporting small farmers in Costa Rica since 1961. The members cultivate their fields in the Central Valley using sustainable methods and mainly cultivate Caturra and Catuaí varieties. With this coffee, they honour the Matinilla micro-region and the people who have been passionately growing coffee there for generations. The Matinilla beans come from the 2024 harvest and are fully washed. Coopelibertad R.L. focuses on the highest quality and social commitment - a coffee that not only impresses with its flavour, but also with its history. Ideal for anyone who appreciates special flavour and responsible cultivation.

Rast Kaffee Herminio, Guatemala
Lass dich von einem Kaffee begeistern, der nicht nur im Geschmack, sondern auch in seiner Herkunft überzeugt. Der Rast Kaffee Herminio aus Guatemala vereint das Beste aus Bio-Anbau, Fairtrade-Handel und leidenschaftlicher Handarbeit von Kleinbauern. Ein Kaffee, der durch Qualität, Transparenz und Charakter glänzt – und von unabhängigen Q-Gradern mit Gold ausgezeichnet wurde. In der Tasse entfaltet der Herminio eine harmonische Balance aus feinen Zitrusnoten, Anklängen von Früchtetee und einem runden Geschmack nach Nussschokolade. Sein Duft erinnert an eine zarte Kombination von Orange und Nuss. Damit bietet er ein aromatisches Erlebnis, das gleichzeitig elegant und überraschend vielschichtig wirkt. Der Herminio zeigt seine Stärken vor allem als Filterkaffee, wo sich seine klaren, fruchtigen Nuancen am besten entfalten. Auch als Café Crème überzeugt er mit einer aromatischen Tiefe und einer angenehm süssen Note. Für Espresso ist er weniger geeignet, da seine feine Säure und die leichten Aromen dort nicht ihre volle Wirkung entfalten. Hinter dem Herminio steht die Organisation FECCEG, ein Zusammenschluss von 14 landwirtschaftlichen Genossenschaften in Guatemala. Mehr als 1'750 Bauernfamilien – darunter 550 Bäuerinnen – produzieren gemeinsam Bio- und Fairtrade-Kaffee. Einer von ihnen ist Herminio Castro, der diesem Kaffee seinen Namen gibt. Die Organisation unterstützt die Bauern mit nachhaltigen Methoden, Qualitätssicherung und fairen Handelsstrukturen. Die Bohnen stammen aus der Region San Marcos, genauer aus der Nähe von Corral Grande, und wachsen in Höhenlagen, die ideale Bedingungen für Arabica-Kaffee bieten. Die Varietäten Bourbon und Pache Común werden gewaschen aufbereitet und unter höchsten Bio-Standards kultiviert. Der Herminio ist ein Kaffee mit Herkunft, Herz und hohem Anspruch – ein Genuss für alle, die Wert auf Geschmack und Verantwortung legen.

Rast Coffee Women Nantic Altos, Mexico
With the Women Nantic Altos, you will experience a coffee that not only delights with its flavour, but also tells a powerful story. This single origin from Chiapas combines intense berry flavours with cocoa and fresh orange zest - a vibrant pleasure that is also a symbol of women's power in coffee growing. The aroma of this coffee is sweet and characterised by berries. Complex flavours of cocoa and orange zest unfold in the cup, creating a harmonious balance between freshness and depth. The pronounced acidity adds vibrancy and emphasises the berry notes. A coffee that wakes you up and pampers you at the same time. Women Nantic Altos is best enjoyed as an espresso or café crème - both preparations bring out its fruity and chocolaty flavours to the full (3/3). It is less suitable for filter preparation, as its strong profile loses expression here. Whether pure or with a dash of milk - this coffee remains an exciting experience. Behind the Women Nantic Altos is a committed cooperative of 102 women in Chiapas who are campaigning for more equality in coffee cultivation. They are custodians of traditional knowledge and take responsibility for their communities - especially in times when many men have migrated to the cities. They are passionate about cultivating the Typica, Bourbon and Caturra varieties in the high altitudes of Los Altos de Chiapas, thus contributing to greater diversity and equal opportunities in the coffee trade. The Women Nantic Altos is washed and harvested by hand between December and March. Certified as an organic and Fairtrade project, this coffee not only stands for outstanding quality, but also for social responsibility. Every cup supports the empowerment of women in coffee farming - and makes your coffee enjoyment part of a larger movement.

This single origin from Ocotepeque impresses with its nutty flavours, subtle fruity notes and fine, refreshing acidity. A coffee that not only wakes you up, but inspires you. Erapuca offers you an exciting interplay of flavours: tart nuances give the coffee depth, while notes of walnut and light apricot provide a subtle elegance. You will recognise nutty tones and a hint of clove in the aroma. The tangy acidity brings freshness to the cup and gives the espresso a balanced flavour that lingers for a long time. The Erapuca is at its best as an espresso, where it shines with 3/3 points. As a café crème, it also impresses with a score of 2/3, provides a pleasant balance and rounds off your everyday life perfectly. It is less suitable for filter preparation, as its character loses intensity there. Regardless of whether you enjoy it pure or with a dash of milk - this coffee remains an experience. This coffee comes from the Cooperativa Cafesmo, which brings together more than 250 small farmers in the Ocotepeque region. All fincas are certified organic and fair trade. The beans for the Premium Erapuca come from Alex Valle, a former primary school teacher who has found his second vocation in coffee growing. Together with his family, he grows the Pacas, Obata, Lempira and IH-Café-90 varieties on shady, biodiverse land - surrounded by pines, fruit trees and forest, which create the special microclimate for this speciality. The Erapuca is fully washed and harvested by hand between October and March. With its organic, direct trade and fair trade certificates, it not only stands for maximum enjoyment, but also for responsibility and sustainability. This coffee is an expression of diversity and quality - and invites you to discover the flavour of Honduras in an authentic way.

The result is an exceptional coffee that combines complexity with clarity and will delight you sip after sip. This Gesha is best enjoyed as a filter coffee, where its floral and fruity notes can unfold their full radiance. It also impresses as a café crème with its fine structure. It is less suitable for espresso, as its bright, complex flavour comes out more clearly in filter preparation.

Rast coffee Laurina Pointu de Bourbon, Reunion
Laurina Pointu de Bourbon - the coffee of kings! With this coffee, you will discover a true rarity that even delighted King Louis XV. This unique Bourbon Pointu variety is grown in tiny quantities on the island of La Réunion. Only 830 kg per year can call themselves Grand Cru - a coffee that is considered one of the best Arabicas in the world. Laurina impresses with its exceptionally fine interplay of flavours. In the cup, floral and citrus-like aromas unfold, accompanied by nuances of exotic lychee, fine spices and fine cocoa. The body is balanced and elegant, the acidity finely integrated. The speciality: At just 0.6 %, its caffeine content is well below average - perfect if you want to enjoy an intense experience without excessive stimulation. This coffee is versatile and unfolds its full potential particularly as a café crème or filter coffee. For espresso, it offers a rather fine, subtly nuanced flavour experience. Whether in a portafilter machine, a fully automatic machine or as a pour-over - Laurina always has a clear, round and long-lasting finish. Laurina comes from the "Domaine des Caféiers" estate in Saint-Paul on La Réunion. Martine and Mongi Sliti have made it their mission to revitalise the almost forgotten Bourbon Pointu. They run the only certified organic coffee farm in the European Union, specialising exclusively in this variety. They are passionate and dedicated to preserving this cultural heritage. The Bourbon Pointu, also known as Coffea arabica cv. laurina, is a rare mutation of the Arabica plant. Its small, tapered beans and dwarf growth make it unique. Originally famous in the 18th century, the variety was almost forgotten due to natural disasters and the cultivation of sugar cane. It has been enjoying a renaissance on La Réunion since 2008. Today, it is not only regarded as the best Arabica in the world, but also as a synonym for elegance, exclusivity and a culture of enjoyment.

FRESH COFFEE FOR MAXIMUM FLAVOUR

Freshness is a big issue in the food industry. Fresh vegetables from the market, fresh eggs straight from the farm, fresh coffee from the roastery or from the coffee centre. But what does "freshness" mean and how does coffee stay fresh the longest?

THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS AT A GLANCE

Enemies of coffee: air, humidity, heat, light and time
Optimal period for enjoyment
Espresso: 2 weeks to 3 months from roasting date
Filter: 1 week to 2 months from roasting date
If no roasting date is known: Expiry date minus 9 months

Store in a dry, dark and cool place; preferably in the original packaging
Grind beans fresh
Keep the coffee machine and grinder clean

FRESHNESS AS A QUALITY FEATURE

Freshness is a measure of closeness to the original product. The term fresh therefore describes products of undiminished quality. If we are looking for freshness in relation to coffee, this means maximum flavour.

FLAVOURINGS AND CARBON DIOXIDE

The roasting process produces two products that are of interest to us in connection with the freshness of coffee: Flavourings and CO2.

Both are volatile substances that outgas over time. CO2 makes uniform extraction more difficult and makes the coffee in the cup unbalanced. In this sense, coffee is "too fresh".

Coffee tastes best when enough CO2 has evaporated and the maximum amount of flavouring substances are still present. For an espresso roast, this is normally 2 weeks to a maximum of 3 months after the roasting date. Filter coffee tastes best from 1 week to 2 months after roasting.

STORING COFFEE

Once a packet of coffee has been opened, the longest it will stay fresh is in a dry, dark and cool place. The easiest way is to leave the coffee in its original packaging and seal it tightly. Pouring it into a tin is well-intentioned but counterproductive. Coffee oils accumulate on the walls of the can, which become rancid over time and spoil the coffee.

The fridge is also the wrong environment for coffee. The low temperature slows down the volatilisation of flavourings. However, the humidity is hard on the coffee and the beans absorb the usual, suspicious fridge odours. Unless you are looking for notes of recent Swiss cheese, green Thai curry or an open packet of salami, get out of the fridge with the coffee.

Freezing coffee is a valid option. However, this only makes sense if you consume the coffee immediately after defrosting. Otherwise, the condensation that forms inside the packet during defrosting will ruin the whole coffee.
