Treat Selection: El Triunfo

Oscar Alvarado's parents started growing coffee 30 years ago on their farm near the town of Charguayaco in the Huila region of Colombia.

In 2007, the farm won the "Cup of Excellence" award, which is one of the highest recognitions for coffee growers in the region.

WHAT MAKES EL TRIUNFO SPECIAL?

Of the four variants grown on the farm, the Pink Bourbon we chose is the most interesting, with a very soft, almost filter-like taste and aroma (two contestants in the 2023 Barista World Championship reached the finals with Pink Bourbon coffee, one of them became world champion with this coffee).

The interesting thing about the variant is that (although its exact origin is unknown), it first appeared in the Huila region of Colombia in the 1980s. It could possibly be a hybrid of Red and Yellow Bourbon, although recent genetic research has disproved this. Its important feature, which greatly helps its spread, is that it is much more resistant to the dreaded leaf rust than other varieties.

The coffee is selected after the (strictly manual) harvest (only the denser beans are used), these are dry-fermented for 20 hours after husking, and then dried on beds protected from the sun for 18 days after washing twice.

I WILL ORDER MY OWN

Limited product: don't be left behind!

Did you think we were joking?

Let's perhaps start with why the name of this product line is Treat Selection. Here we collect special coffees, which are real "reward snacks" for fans of specialty coffees. Farm- and sometimes vineyard-selected coffees, direct contact with producers, experimental processing methods: i.e. everything that makes even a specialty coffee special. We are proud that these coffees (mostly not available elsewhere) can provide an experience at the push of a button in anyone's kitchen, which only the most professional baristas can do in the best cafes! These coffees are only available in limited quantities, we always work from a given quantity, with one-off production. If it's gone from here, we won't be able to drink any more ourselves!

Unfortunately, you missed out on these TREAT SELECTION coffees... But take a look, you won't find such specialties anywhere else!

SAMURAI OFFER TO EL TRIUNFO

SAMURAI Tip

Before you start making coffee, make sure that your machine is clean! (there are no capsules in it, you washed out the water, etc.). Without a capsule, start a short program to wash out the oils and other substances left in it from previous coffees!

Insert the capsule and use the short button to prepare a drink of 25-30 ml (about 20-25 grams). It is important that if you want a long coffee, do not use the long button, but make a short coffee, then drop the capsule, and by pressing the short button again, steep your finished coffee with hot water.

This is important because with the long button you overextract the coffee, which can lose its most valuable flavor notes!

Espresso

Thanks to the variety, we get a very soft, almost filter-like sweet coffee. With very little milk it gives a sweet-caramel drink, but with a lot of milk it can lose its uniqueness. Only 70 kg came to us, you can buy it while the stock lasts (after that there will be another kind of Treat selection coffee, but there won't be any more!) It gives both specialty fans and those familiar with special coffees a very good experience!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are the capsules suitable for all capsule machines?

No, only in coffee machines compatible with the Nespresso* Original system.

What is a specialty coffee capsule?

There are also many types of coffee, from cheaper mass coffees to rare coffee specialties of the highest, special quality. Coffees are classified according to an officially accepted point system, coffees with more than 80 points belong to the specialty category.

I heard that the aluminum capsule is not environmentally friendly. So why did you use an aluminum capsule?

From this point of view, aluminum is like other raw materials: it can be environmentally friendly if it is really collected selectively. Then it is 100% recyclable. Aluminum can be remelted an unlimited number of times and coffee capsules can be produced from it again and again, so it is one of the least burdensome solutions from an environmental point of view. At the same time, the aluminum capsule is the only one that ensures a perfect seal, i.e. the coffee inside does not come into contact with oxygen, and can therefore be stored for a very long time without quality deterioration. If you want to protect the environment, collect used capsules selectively or use Capsule Defuser !

Don't you have instant coffee?

Of course there is, since we roast the green coffee and the capsules are made from freshly ground, roasted coffee beans. Perfect capsules require a completely different roasting profile than a "traditional" coffee machine, which is why we do not sell our coffees in the form of coffee beans, since what is good for a capsule is not necessarily good for a press machine, and vice versa.

What should I do with used capsules?

Do not throw it in the trash! Aluminum is a valuable, reusable raw material. Place the coffee grounds from the capsules under your plants (blooming plants will love them) or compost them. Use the Capsule Defuser and separate the capsules, or throw them in a selective waste container!

So YOU ​​belong to Nespresso*?

No, we are a completely independent, domestic small business. We are related to Nespresso* in that we use the system developed by them. Our coffee capsules can be prepared on any Nespresso* Original compatible machine

But I need a lot more capsules!

If you want to buy in large quantities (either for yourself or as a reseller), send us a message or call us!

What are the advantages of specialty coffee capsules?

Specialty coffee capsules are made from high-quality coffee beans that are carefully selected and roasted to provide the best flavors and aromas. In addition, these coffee capsules are often sourced from sustainable and ethical sources.

What roasting levels are there for specialty coffees?

Roasting levels can be light, medium or dark, each bringing out different flavors from the coffee.

Why is the place of origin of coffee important?

The place of origin of the coffee determines its taste. Coffee is a fruit, so the location of the growing area, the soil, the climate and the cultivation methods all affect its taste.

How does water quality affect the taste of coffee?

Poor-quality or too hard water can suppress the coffee's flavors, while clean, high-quality water highlights them. It is worth using filtered water for making coffee!

What is the specialty coffee scoring system?

Specialty coffees are evaluated on a 100-point system, and only coffees above 80 points receive the specialty rating.
