Sourced through Omwani, this Burundi reflects both the quality of the Migoti washing station and the increasing complexity of working in origin. Recent export delays and logistical challenges across East Africa have made coffees from Burundi harder to secure, but the result is a standout lot that supports strong pricing for producers.

Bright apple notes and a tea-like delicacy give this coffee a refined character. Sweet marshmallow and cocoa powder add softness and balance to the finish.

Best brewed as a filter coffee to highlight its clarity and complexity. Use a slightly lower brew temperature to preserve its delicate sweetness and aromatics.

For consistent results, we recommend brewing with measured inputs rather than estimating by eye. Always use a digital scale to weigh both your coffee dose and water. As a baseline, use a brew ratio of 60–70g of coffee per litre (1000g) of water. This range can be adjusted depending on the brewing method, water composition, and the specific coffee you’re working with. Control your variables, make small adjustments, and use taste to guide your final recipe.

Espresso

Consistency in espresso comes from working within the parameters of your equipment. Use the dose recommended for your basket (usually marked on the side or provided by the manufacturer) and keep it consistent. As a starting point, aim for a brew ratio of around 1:2 — for example, 18g of coffee yielding 33–35g of espresso in the cup. Target an extraction time of 22–30 seconds, with a brew water temperature between 93–95°C. From there, adjust grind size to control flow and use taste to fine-tune the result.

Migoti – Bukanda Hill Lot 63

This coffee was grown in Bururi Commune of the Mumirwa region, Burundi. 165 members of the Ibukikawa Cooperative contributed to the lot, including lead farmer Nyandwi Evariste.

After harvest, the cherries were processed by Ibukikawa at their Bukanda washing station. Here, cherries were left to ferment for one day, then pulped and washed. Next, the coffee was pre-dried on tables in the shade for 5 days, before being moved into the sun for full drying on raised beds for 3-4 weeks.

Migoti Coffee is a Burundian coffee producer based in the Mutambu Commune of Bujumbura Province, Burundi. Founded in 2015 by engineers Pontien Ntunzwenimana and Dan Brose, Migoti Coffee aims to improve the livelihoods of local coffee farmers by connecting them with international buyers and roasters through quality processing and transparent supply chains. The company operates two coffee washing stations nestled in the mountains of the Bujumbura Rural Province and works with a growing number of smallholder farmers to produce high-quality coffee.
