Kenya

Ngomano Coffee Factory, Machakos County

Welcome to Kenya, one of our absolute favorite coffee origins. This washed coffee comes from the Ngomano Coffee Factory, which is supplied by smallholder farmers in the Machakos region at elevations of up to 1,800 meters above sea level. Located just outside the capital, Nairobi, this exceptionally fertile growing region in southern Kenya is blessed with rich red volcanic soils. Annual rainfall ranges between 700 and 1,100 mm, making it one of the wetter coffee-growing regions in Africa. The SL28, SL34, and Ruiru 11 coffee cherries are carefully washed before being sun-dried. Throughout every stage—from harvesting to processing—great care is taken to ensure the highest possible quality.

Variety & Processing

SL 28, SL34, Ruiru 11
Process: Washed

Farmers in Machakos primarily cultivate the SL28 and SL34 varieties, complemented by Ruiru 11, on fertile volcanic soils with abundant rainfall. Harvested between October and December, the coffee is processed using the washed method: cherries are handpicked in the morning, fermented, washed, and carefully sorted by density. The beans are then dried evenly on raised African beds before being prepared for export to roasters around the world.

Important note on ground coffee:
Please note that we cannot offer a universal grind size for espresso machines. The optimal grind must be individually adjusted to each machine, as factors such as basket size, pump and brewing pressure, and temperature vary significantly depending on the model. We therefore always recommend buying whole beans and adjusting the grind size yourself according to your setup.

Important note on returns:
Ground coffee is excluded from returns, as it is ground exclusively at the customer’s request. Thank you for your understanding.

Sustainable cultivation and a commitment to quality

Similar to wine, the origin, cultivation, and careful harvesting form the foundation of a specialty coffee. For our coffees, we use only fully ripe, handpicked 100% Arabica beans, as this labor-intensive manual harvest is a key quality criterion. Our high-altitude coffees are natural products grown sustainably in shaded forest gardens, helping to preserve the biodiversity of the region. At higher, cooler altitudes, the coffee cherries can ripen slowly in nutrient-rich, fertile soils. Under these optimal climatic conditions near the equator, the coffee plants have more time to develop their characteristic and fruity aromas.

Freshly roasted by hand

All Röststätte coffees are gently roasted by hand in Berlin to allow their natural aromas to fully develop without creating unwanted acidity. To achieve a pronounced body and a versatile flavor profile in the cup, our roasting approach aims to highlight and precisely express the unique characteristics of each variety, farm, and origin. Our goal is to unlock the full potential of the green coffee through our roasting style and to honor the valuable work of the producers in the growing regions. These are our quality principles – from source to the final cup.
