Hand Grinder Starter Set

Porlex hand grinders – high quality and ultra compact

Porlex hand grinders impress with their high-quality materials and compact design. Both the Porlex Mini and the Porlex Tall are ideal for taking with you in your travel bag. The conical burr is made of ceramic and delivers good results across all grind sizes. Even with slightly coarser grind settings, e.g. for French press, Porlex hand grinders have no problems, unlike many others.

Ceramic burr & good workmanship

The heart of the Porlex hand grinders is the conical ceramic burr. Since the axis of the grinding cone is stabilized by a spring, the grinders deliver a very homogeneous grind, both with fine and coarse grind settings. A small wheel allows you to set more than 15 different grind settings, covering all coffee preparation methods – from fine espresso powder to coarse grind for French press.

The housing and collection container are made of stainless steel and ensure that the grinder always fits comfortably in your hand.

Easy and stress-free cleaning

Both ceramic grinding discs of the Porlex are easy to remove and can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. Ceramic is very advantageous because it does not corrode. Since the housing of the grinder is made of brushed stainless steel, it is also easy to clean.

Porlex II – new features

New, improved ceramic burr grinder: higher-quality material improves the precision and durability of the grinder, grinds 1.3 times more coffee with the same number of rotations

Even easier to adjust the grind size: easier-to-grip adjustment nut, each click changes the grind size by 37 micrometers

Like a Cosy Evening by the Fireplace

Buna Dimaa tastes like a cosy evening by the fireplace: roasted nuts and creamy cocoa ensure moments of comfort and relaxation. You can expect an intense yet pleasantly low-acid filter coffee that never lets you down – no matter how you combine it.

Tips for Preparation

The dark and classic roast is perfect for those who prefer strong roasted aromas or enjoy their coffee with milk (or milk alternatives) or sugar. Buna Dimaa is best prepared in a fully automatic coffee machine, a classic filter coffee machine or a French press.

A Low-acid, Strong Blend from Three Countries

Buna Dimaa is a blend from three countries: selected beans from Colombia, Ethiopia and Peru have been combined to create the perfect flavour combination.

Around 40 % of the beans come from Colombia and provide the sweet caramel notes. The coffee grows in the highlands of the Sierra Nevada under ideal conditions: certified organic, slowly ripened and particularly low in acidity. Another 40 % comes from the Limu region in Ethiopia. The beans are grown there in forest gardens at an altitude of around 2,000 metres, surrounded by trees and natural vegetation. This ensures a delicate freshness and a slight spiciness that brings the blend to life. The remaining 20% comes from Peru, which also produces excellent quality specialty coffee. The special care and dedication result in beans with a delicate chocolate note that rounds everything off. In the cup, Buna Dimaa has a pleasant nutty and caramel flavour and impresses with its balanced yet strong character.

Sustainable Farming in Harmony with Nature

The beans for Buna Dimaa come from direct collaboration with three selected cooperatives. In Colombia, 88 coffee farmers are part of the Coocafe cooperative, with whom we’ve maintained a close partnership since 2016. Almost a third of the members are women. They grow their coffee organically, place great importance on working in harmony with nature, and work together to improve the livelihoods of their families.

The Ethiopian component of the blend is sourced from the Bikila Ibsa cooperative. A total of 1,138 farmers produce and process the coffee there with great care, by hand and with years of experience – at an altitude of 1,950 metres. Since the construction of a new washing station and the introduction of quality training for producers, the quality of the coffee has improved even further.

The family-run business Negrisa in Peru also places great emphasis on outstanding quality. They have been cultivating specialty coffees for over 15 years. To ensure full control over the quality of their coffee, they have chosen to bring cultivation, processing, and export together under one roof. With passion, experience, and meticulous care, they continue to bring the flavour of Peruvian coffee to the world.

A Reliable All-Rounder for Everyday Use

Like a good friend, you can rely on Limu. Its smooth taste never lets you down: Limu is mild, slightly fruity and has a subtle chocolate note. As a reliable all-rounder for every day, it is easy to prepare and always just right.

Tips for Preparation

Whether you use a manual filter, French press or coffee machine, Limu always turns out well. And since it tastes just as good on its own as it does with a dash of milk (or milk alternative), you can enjoy it in a variety of ways, depending on what you feel like.

Coffee from the Forest Gardens of Ethiopia

As a single origin coffee, Limu comes from a single region and reflects the special growing conditions there. In Ethiopia, coffee is often still grown in shady forest gardens – on nutrient-rich, natural soils, surrounded by native vegetation. In the highlands of the country, at altitudes of over 2,000 metres, the coffee cherries also ripen more slowly, allowing the coffee to develop its complex aroma and a fine, pleasant acidity.

Working Together for Better Coffee – for 15 Years

We source Limu, our very first coffee, from the region of the same name in south-western Ethiopia. We have been working with the Kenissa cooperative for 15 years and, thanks to your donations, are investing in the region. Through a joint project with Welthungerhilfe, for example, they have been able to improve their cultivation methods and build a new washing station with environmentally friendly technology. In addition, quality trainers support the employees during harvest time to further improve quality. Since then, the farmers have been able to achieve better prices and invest more in the long term – in their farms and their future.

If Tea were Coffee

If tea were coffee, it would be called Yirgacheffe. This Ethiopian Washed Arabica is our highlight for all those who appreciate fine and complex aromas. Mild and harmonious, this single origin will win you over with its subtle vanilla and blackberry notes.

Harvested and Processed by Hand

The Koke Cooperative is located in the heart of the renowned Yirgacheffe coffee region in Ethiopia, the namesake of this special Arabica. As part of the Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union (YCFCU), it represents around 1,200 farmers. Koke has made it her goal to improve the living conditions of the local community. For example, it invests in the renovation of schools and the provision of learning materials on site. The coffee cherries are harvested and sorted by hand by the farmers. In the washing station, they are separated from the pulp, washed and then dried in the sun with regular and careful turning - this gives the coffee its clear, fine taste profile. A special highlight? The cooperative attaches great importance to ensuring that the beans can be fully traced: from the time of harvest to the end of the preparation process.

Traditional Cultivation in the Interests of Nature Conservation

Yirgacheffe is grown in shady forest gardens in the south-western mountains of Ethiopia. Thanks to the cool, high-altitude climate, the coffee cherries ripen more slowly and have more time to develop their characteristic, fruity and spicy flavor. Traditional cultivation in forest gardens also has advantages in terms of nature conservation: the plants have a higher natural resistance to pests, plant and species diversity is preserved and the method of cultivation provides natural protection against erosion.

Tips for Preparation

All types of filter coffee preparation are suitable for preparing Yirgacheffe coffee. When prepared with a hand filter, fruity-sweet nuances tend to come to the fore, while a French press, for example, emphasizes floral-spicy aromas. Yirgacheffe is best enjoyed pure, as this allows its flavor to develop optimally.
