Sweet coffee from the region of Tres Pontas.
Rancho Grande Farm has been cultivating coffee since 1933, when Aneite Reis inherited 5 hectares of coffee trees. Today, it is run by his son Jose Carlos Reis along with his grandson Flavio (Fafa) Reis, who continue the family tradition and further enhance the quality of the coffee produced. In addition to coffee cultivation, the farm also engages in cattle breeding for dairy and meat production. It places great emphasis on employee care and environmental protection. Several workers live directly on the farm in subsidized housing.
The farm invests in modern technologies, such as static drying boxes, which allow for better drying control and the resulting flavor of the coffee. After harvesting, the coffee is sorted in a water mill and subsequently dried for 16 days at a temperature of 29 °C. Once the moisture level reaches 11.7%, it rests for 31 days, then it is hulled and sent to the COCATREL warehouse. Part of the coffee is dried on terraces and finished in a rotary dryer.
Thanks to precise processing and continuous innovations, the farm consistently enhances the quality of its coffee.

Espresso
The correct setting of espresso is an essential skill for every barista. The speed at which ground coffee dissolves in water significantly affects the taste of the final drink. The flavor of espresso depends on the amount of coffee used, the total weight of the drink, and the time it takes to prepare it. By using a simple ratio and a few steps, we can create a perfectly balanced and tasty espresso.

Pour-Over
With a kettle, dripper, and filter, you can prepare coffee using the pour-over method, which guarantees a clean taste. This method is suitable for various types of coffee, but beans with a light to medium roast and gentle acidity shine the brightest. Among the most recognized pour-over techniques is the V60, which creates a clean flavor and pronounced aroma. This recipe is ideal for one serving of V60.

French press
The French press is a simple and classic way to prepare coffee. Although it is not always sufficiently appreciated, it can yield great results when used correctly. The coffee grounds are fully immersed in hot water during preparation, which gives the drink an intense sweet flavor. You will especially appreciate this when adding milk, as the strength of the coffee remains intact. The French press is ideal for multiple people and naturally sweet coffees.

AeroPress
AeroPress is an excellent coffee brewing device that uses high pressure for extraction and delivers a great cup. This means you can use espresso-roasted coffee as well as filter coffee. The AeroPress is a fun device that allows you to easily prepare a single cup of coffee – it is cleaner than a French press but richer in flavor than coffee brewed using the pour-over method.

Cold Brew
The hot summer months are a great time to prepare our favorite cold brew. This coffee offers a naturally sweet and concentrated flavor, which can be tried with milk or just with ice for refreshment. We recommend coffee beans with a strong flavor and intense sweetness to make the cold brew full of taste. If you don't have a special container, you can prepare it like we do in a French press.
