2011 Surprise!

After 50 days off the bike due to a preference for running, I returned to my usual trail, just to find bulldozers have changed the ground, where there was dirt and trails now there is asphalt and flat terrain ready for building townhouses. Guatemala is growing very fast, I think it's time to change my tires or change the route.

Beginnings

Best wishes for all of you this 2011, Coffee Time!

Heritage

Not always you inherit physical features, sometimes heritage is more reflected in attitude or behaviour, this is the magic that define the path that we share in this world.

Apaneca

These Holidays we made a trip to El Salvador and visited the coffee region of Apaneca, 90km West from San Salvador (some 35 km from the Guatemala East border). These highlands are full of farms at the side of the road where coffee is planted in the shade among a very organic variety of trees. Apaneca is a tourist destination, there you can find restaurants, hotels, handicrafts shops, everything in a fresh atmosphere around 1,500 mts above sea level.

Speedster Espresso Machine

Made from stainless steel, this advanced machine features a double boiler system, electronic temperature controllers, a steam boiler with heat exchanger to pre-heat the water, a commercial grade rotation pump, two water temperature settings, a four-hole steam tip and more. See it at keesvanderwesten.com.

Peaceful Holidays

Hoping these Holidays bring you peace, love and a lot of quality time to enjoy a delicious coffee.

Manuel De los Santos

Peter Montgomery read about Manuel at the end of 2009 and had the idea of making a film about him. This short documentary portrait is the result.

Green Highlands

Our highlands are very fertile, several volcanoes have thrown ashes for centuries over these lands, that's one of the reasons our coffee is so special, and one of the best coffee around here is ours.
