    The Profile

    The Profile

    Cachoeiras is a super exciting coffee for us: it's the first coffee we've sourced from origin, making the trip to Brazil back in July 2022. Direct sourcing is something we've been aiming for since day one of Machina, and we couldn't be happier with the coffee that marks the beginning of our new sourcing approach. (Read more about it below!)

    Flavourwise Cachoeiras is everything you want from a Brazil: a rich nutty body, chocolatey sweetness, and very low in acidity. Ideal for those that enjoy a smoother, more developed coffee. As an espresso roast we think Cachoeiras makes an excellent flat white, but still great if you prefer it black. Try 17g-34g-34s at 94℃ for optimal results!

    The Producer

    The Producer

    Sete Cachoeiras is owned by Marcelo Renato Brito, a producer whose family history in coffee goes back 100 years. Continuing this legacy are Marcelo's sons Renato and André, students of agronomy whose knowledge and expertise have supported Marcelo's investment in coffee as a speciality crop.

    As well as quality, sustainability is an important focus of production at Sete Cachoeiras. Actions such as using their own organic fertiliser, reforestation (of some 84,800 trees!), and the conservation of water demonstrate the family's commitment to sustainable farming practices. Since 2000 the family have attained certification in UTZ (the first to do so in Brazil), Rainforest Alliance, 4C, Café Practices, Certifica Minas and Carbon Neutral.

    We were lucky enough to visit Sete Cachoeiras in July 2022, and see firsthand the expertise and passion the Brito family have for sustainable speciality coffee production.

    • Wholesale

      We are always looking to work with likeminded businesses to serve our coffee.

      If you're interested in serving this locally roasted Edinburgh coffee as your main offering, a guest appearance or as bags of retail, get in touch with us on roastery@machina-coffee.co.uk or call (0131) 656 9565.

    • Roasting Schedule

      Your coffee will be roasted within 1-16 days of purchase, with a shelf life of 6 weeks (optimum serving point at 12-36 days old). We recommend letting this coffee rest for at least 12 days before using, in order to release excess gas which can impact the flavour of your cup.

      If you would like your coffee fresh, please leave a note with your order and we will do our best to accommodate.
