Ethiopia Diima Halo – Christmas Limited Edition
INFO
Diima Halo comes from the Halo washing station in Gedeb, part of the renowned Yirgacheffe coffee region. Local farms sit at high altitudes on fertile red soils. Coffee trees grow in the shade of trees and dense vegetation, including enset, also known as false banana.
Around 700 smallholder farmers work with the station. Their farms are close by, so harvested coffee cherries reach the station quickly for processing, helping preserve their freshness and quality.
The station’s partner is SNAP Coffee, founded in Addis Ababa in 2008 by Negusse D. Weldyes. The company focuses on specialty coffee quality, farmer training and responsible management of processing waste. It also supports local communities by providing technological equipment to newly built schools and building roads in less accessible coffee-growing areas.
In the cup, expect a sweet, floral coffee with notes of peach, red berries and honey. Delicate hints of rose and cacao are complemented by a wine-like character and bright fruit acidity – a lovely combination for the festive season.

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.

Moka pot
The moka pot, invented in 1933 by Alfonso Bialetti, is an icon of Italian coffee culture, alongside the classic coffee maker. It is favored for its simple, quick process and the resulting full and sweet flavor. There are many different models, so it is important to adjust the recipe to the size of the pot. We use the standard three-cup version, and here is our method.
