Tell me more about El Botón
Automatic coffee machines brew coffee differently than espresso machines. This raises the question of which coffee bean is suitable for an automatic machine. With our understanding of coffee, we look for beans that have a lot of body and a rich texture. Instead of roasting the coffee very dark, we extend the roasting time here and have developed a roasting profile specifically for automatic coffee machines. The coffees come from our friend César Marin, from whom we have been sourcing coffees since 2023, and from Bharath Belliappa from India, whom Nadja visited for the first time in spring 2026. El Botón brings together all our demands for a coffee: our usual transparent sourcing of green coffee, the natural production of both producers, the clear aromatics, and precise roasting.
Why does the coffee taste the way it does?
We opted for a blend to combine two attributes: lighter aromas (Peru) and a more classic aftertaste (India). César's coffee from Peru brings a smooth texture and slightly floral notes. Bharath's Robusta from India gives the coffee a strong base character and emphasizes the aftertaste.
How do we roast this coffee?
The coffee distribution in the brewing chamber and the lower brewing pressure in automatic machines inspired us to a different kind of roasting. Unlike an espresso for a portafilter machine, where we gradually reduce the gas supply, we increase it again in the last quarter of the roast. This gives the coffee a higher final temperature with a medium roasting time, which imparts the caramel notes.
