Hybrid brewing improves pre-infusion and extraction, making the hybrid brewer one of the most consistent ways to get a great cup at home.

The long pre-infusion lets the grounds wet evenly before the two drawdowns. It keeps the body full and the sweetness forward, without flattening the lime acidity underneath.

In the highlands of Southern Ethiopia, Coffee Arabica blossomed, giving rise to a treasure trove of unique cultivars and landraces that set Ethiopian coffee apart from the rest of the world. Gotiti kebele, located in the highlands of Kochere district near Yirga Chefe town, sits at elevations above 1900 metres. These high altitudes, combined with generations of local coffee knowledge, support the production of fruit-driven profiles with perfumed florals and layered citrus.

The Banko Gotiti mill sources cherry from around 750 smallholder producers, most cultivating land less than two hectares in size. The farms are planted with local landraces like Kurume and Wolisho alongside JARC releases, varieties adapted to the high altitudes here and valued for their cup clarity. Farmers deliver only ripe cherries to the mill, and the mill team sorts and separates them into individual lots.

Ripe blueberry leads, dark and jammy, layered with violet florals and mandarin orange. The light roast keeps the lime acidity juicy and zesty. As the cup cools, raspberry and white peach come through along with milk chocolate. A full sweetness enhances the silky, slightly lactic texture, creating a refined and smooth mouthfeel.

Brewed as a filter, the florals and berry notes remain expressive and pronounced supported by a refined structure that evolves with cooling. This is what the best Ethiopian naturals do: a full fruit forward profile without losing the clarity.

This is a natural process lot. Coffee cherries dry whole on raised beds for 12 to 15 days, turned through the day and covered against the hardest midday sun and the overnight mist. This slow drying approach allows sugars and acids in the fruit to develop into layered flavours, highlighting blueberry and citrus with a soft, lactic mouthfeel. The result is a clean profile that retains clarity while showcasing the rounder fruit and chocolate tones typical of Ethiopia's best natural lots.
