Description
El Salvadoran coffee is known for its balanced flavor profile, combining a smooth body with a bright acidity. You'll often find notes of chocolate, caramel, and a subtle fruitiness, depending on the specific region and bean variety. This is a versatile coffee that can be enjoyed black or with milk, making it a great choice for those wanting to explore a sweeter single origin coffee.

El Ingenio dates back to 1875 when Mr. Juan Urrutia planted the first coffee trees at high altitude in volcanic soil and the first crop of 27 bags was produced. As time passed the farm grew and the family worked hard to improve the quality year after year leading us to the present day with sixth-generation Enrique, Rene and Gustavo running the farm, with their father Gustavo still involved as an advisor, giving them the benefit of his experience.
Over the years, they have placed in the finals for Cup of Excellence 7 times, as well as gaining accolades from trade bodies and national associations such as Exporter of the Year in 2015 and landing in the top 5 in 2017.
All the Urrutias Estate coffees are 100% shade grown and native trees are planted every year and to prevent erosion.

Most of our coffees are suitable for all brew methods. Some will shine more brewed certain ways but that is ultimatley down to your own personal preference. However you chose to brew your coffee always make sure your using fresh beans, weigh the amount of coffee your using, time your brew and weigh the yield of your coffee.
A guide for home double espresso could be to use 18.5g of coffee, and extract in 25-30 seconds for a yield of 35-40ml.
A guide for home filter coffee could be to use 19g of coffee, brewed in 3-4 minutes with a yield of 250ml of water.
Once you have these or any other starting point you can then experiment and adjust your recipe to acheive the taaste you want. For example, for a slightly strong cup use more coffee or try a lower yield amount.
