Roaster's Notes

It was not that long ago when coffee roasters around the world would use a portion of Costa Rican coffee to enhance and super-charge their blends.

The fine acidity, sweetness and perfectly prepared coffees from Costa Rica stood head and shoulders above all other origins.

But over time the price of Costa Rican coffees has reached expensive levels so coffee roasters stopped using Costa Rican coffees in blends.

Today, there is no such thing as a "cheap" Costa Rica coffee. All that disappeared more than 10 years ago.

Our Jaguar is such a lovely coffee with refined acidity, intense sweetness and balance that few other coffee origins can match.

Yep, we love our Costa Rica Jaguar .........a stunning, classy coffee with richness and sweetness you won't find in anything else.

Description

Cost Rica - leader of the pack

Costa Rica's coffee farmers have earned a reputation for being some of the best coffee farmers in the world.

Costa Rica farmers are certainly on another level.

Our Costa Rica Jaguar micro lot produces beautiful sweetness.

With unique flavours of caramel, toffee, and praline with refined acidity, you will love the gorgeously long finish that lingers forever.

Besides the medal-winning performances in previous years, this coffee continues to improve every season.

An extraordinary Grand-Cru selection exhibits a superb stone fruit finish with a candy-like sweetness.

This beautiful coffee is from the San Diego mill, rated as the most sustainable in Central America.

With abundant stone fruits, red apples, caramel, toffee, and rich milk chocolate, we love the incredible sweetness of any brew application.

Why Costa Rican coffees are so good

Costa Rica's volcanic soils, mountainous terrain, and plentiful rainfall provide ideal conditions for cultivating high-quality coffee beans.

Costa Rica's coffee farmers are well-respected leaders in coffee processing techniques.

They invented and perfected the "honey" style of processing raw coffee, which adds incredible sweetness.

It's an essential method of processing coffee; many other coffee-growing countries have copied the honey style.

But Costa Rica's critical advantage over the rest of Central and South America is its stable and vibrant economy.

Unlike El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and, to some extent, Honduras, which lack capital, labour, and critical infrastructure, Costa Rica is a modern, well-resourced, and capable region.

The biggest challenge for Costa Rica is preserving land traditionally used for coffee farming by real estate developers.

Developers are hungry to convert farming areas into expensive Condominiums, catering to a growing US retiree market.

As recently as 25 years ago, Costa Rica relied heavily upon the coffee industry to keep the economy running.

However, Costa Rica's economy is far more diverse, with extensive manufacturing and real estate tourism as the key drivers of growth and affluence.

Subsequently, there has been a reduced reliance on agricultural products such as coffee.

Costa Rican coffee farmers are the most professional in the world, and the coffees command high premiums in the global market.

Our lovely Jaguar

The Costa Rica Jaguar coffee is prepared by a hulling of the parchment using coffee sundried in a greenhouse.

A method designed to cater to wet conditions, further ensuring better coffee quality.

Jaguar is an innovative brand designed by Jürgen Plate, a great coffee specialist and one of the country's most respected coffee pioneers.

His fluency in coffee blending and design led to the creation of Jaguar. The name commemorates Volcafe's role as a leading sponsor of the Jaguar Conservation Program in Costa Rica.

mycuppa uses a full cast iron coffee roaster for maximum flavor and sweetness

Why our coffees are different

Our custom SUPA-ROASTA is a one-of-a-kind, fully cast-iron platform using the most advanced computer controls for ultra-precise roasting of the best-tasting coffees.
These days, complete cast-iron roasting systems are extremely rare. Only cast-iron platforms can impart that highly desirable soft, moist heat into the coffee beans.
Would the best chefs and BBQ experts cook their culinary delights on Stainless, Alloy or Mild Steel or Air ?
Nope, neither would we.
mycuppa's SUPA-ROASTA creates coffees with smooth, rich, high-flavoured tastes, full and syrupy body, fine acidity and of course our trademark long, sweet finish.
Nothing compares.

Why roasting with Cast Iron is best

how we roast your coffee

Roasting coffee is a precise science. These days, computer profiles perform most of the automated tasks for controlling a roast profile. However, through better quality control via tasting, testing and optimization, we can make a big difference to the finished product through setting special parameters.

mycuppa explains the delicate balance when roasting coffees for exceptional flavors

Roast Balance

Roast depth is a moving target for most coffee brands. It can depend upon the individual lot being roasted, ambient conditions (hot or cold) and the target brew application.

Our roast depth always targets medium (except for filter roast products that are roasted lighter).

Our medium-level roast is a combination of many factors, such as the balance of flavour, sweetness and acidity.

Roasting too far in one direction tends to pull or detract from other attributes.

Roast Profile

Our roast profile has evolved and optimized over the last 20 years.

Not much has changed in the last few years as the level of quality has essentially maintained at a consistently high range.

We roast for a medium level that takes all of the attributes into consideration - flavour, complexity, sweetness, acidity, body, aroma and finish.

Our roast profile could be described as carefully cautious - unwilling to push into zones that create an unbalanced cup taste.

Colour

Roast color is an outdated metric which no longer applies to quality coffees.

The external color of a roasted coffee bean bares little resemblance to how that coffee was actually roasted.

In the past, coffee was segmented as light, medium or dark. But those motifs did not sufficiently encompass the number of variations possible.

The external shade of a roasted coffee is more influenced by the brix (sugars) of the bean, e.g. higher brix levels may present or display darker shades of brown when roasted.

The processing method also plays a role in determining the final colour. Washed coffees are darker in shade, as are Decaf coffees, while naturals display a lighter and mottled appearance.

The roast profile also impacts the finished colour. A lighter-colored coffee may have been roasted poorly, having baked or stalled with darker internal colours.

Similarly, a lighter external color might hide the darker internals from scorching or rapid roasting using an invalid profile.

Dark does not mean stronger. In fact, dark is weaker as acid and caffeine levels decline.

Acidity

Acidity is perhaps one of the most complex and mis-understood attributes of roasted coffee.

Acidity is a fundamental requirement for flavor, in fact acidity is the pathway of flavor compounds.

Customers often ask for low—or zero-acid coffees. However, those coffees with very low acidity typically display dull, mediocre, and boring cup elements.

Australian coffee drinkers are predominantly milk or dairy alternative drinkers. In fact 93% of coffee drinkers add something else to the coffee besides sugar.

Acids are mostly grouped as citric or malic. When coffee is roasted well, the acidity should result in delicious sweetness.

However, the extraction or brew process can also affect the taste.

See how our coffees are roasted so beautifully

Whole bean coffee stays fresher for much longer than ground coffees

Ground coffee is poor value

Whole beans are the only way to enjoy freshly roasted coffee.

The moment coffee beans are ground, most of the essential, active compounds in ground coffee oxidize rapidly, losing vitality, aroma, flavour and body.

Ground coffee barely lasts 15 minutes; even sealed packs lose more than 80% of the critical essence in 2 weeks.

Unfortunately, once you open and close that pack, it's game over, and the ground coffee continues to stale at 20x the rate of whole beans inside of a sealed, unopened pack.

If you love coffee, please don't waste money buying pre-ground packs; you only get a small part of the wonderful coffee experience.

Buy a decent grinder and purchase whole beans; it makes a huge difference in aroma, flavour, and enjoyment.

Just gets better.

When other coffees go downhill after a couple of weeks, this one keeps powering along. Must be either the quality or the way they roast it. Dunno, but it works for me.

Best in the store, if not OZ.

We have tried many Costa Rica coffees from other brands. None of them can match this one at mycuppa.

Sweest of all

A coffee so rich and sweet, I could easily marry it and live happy ever after.

Top stuff

A fan of this coffee for a long time. Great product.

Deserving of greatness

This coffee is so much better than other brands it's scandalous.
