Description

Duke Blend

Duke combines lots from our longtime Brazil partners Gabriel Nunes and Hugo Brito (Santa Hedwirges). Fazenda Nunes is located in the renowned Cerrado Mineiro region. We’ve known Gabriel Nunes since 2023 and built a trusted partnership. Gabriel’s commitment to quality, sustainability, and innovation is evident across the 600-hectare farm, where over 25 Arabica varieties are grown and fully sun-dried—a rarity in Brazil. Known for its mellow, chocolate-driven profile, his coffee reflects the farm’s specialty focus and dedication, recognized by multiple awards, including a CoE win in 2017.

In 2024, we partnered with Hugo Brito, the fourth generation to run Santa Hedwirges. The Brito family’s innovative approach is reflected in their advanced processing centers, which ensure consistent quality across 1200 hectares. With varieties like Catuai, Mundo Novo, and Arara, Hugo’s meticulous care, including a nursery for 300,000 trees, results in coffees of remarkable character. Our collaboration with Hugo showcases his commitment to tradition and quality innovation.

 

How We Brew It

Prep Use a scale to measure your dose and yield (= brewed liquid). Use soft water (100-150ppm).
Step 1 Grind 18g of coffee at a fine espresso setting.
Step 2 Distribute the coffee evenly in your portafilter and tamp level.
Step 3 Lock in the portafilter, gentle but firm. Don’t crack the coffee bed.
Step 4 Start the machine. Measure 40g of brewed liquid in your cup in 28 seconds.
Step 5 If the coffee runs too fast, grind finer. If the coffee runs too slow, grind coarser.
