Our Family's Farms
Nossa Familia Coffee founder Augusto Carneiro's great-grandfather and his three brothers planted the family's first coffee crop in 1890. Nestled beside an ancient volcano in the Brazilian highlands, the farm was a half-day by horseback to the local train station and eight hours on the train to reach São Paulo!

Finca San Jerónimo Miramar
The owner-operators here treat the environment, employees, & community with great care. Much of the farm is a nature reserve. An on-site lab researches natural methods to reduce fungi and pests in coffee.
They also operate a dairy, producing cheeses & creams. The cows (and the nutritious compost they make) are a key part of the regenerative farm system.

San Miguel Escobar Cooperative
The San Miguel Escobar Co-op (in Spanish, Café Artesanal San Miguel Entre Volcanes de Antigua) is a 30-member community of smallholder coffee farmers near Antigua, Guatemala. Situated at the base of Volcán Agua, San Miguel Escobar is located in a scenic, vibrant valley with views of other neighboring volcanoes Fuego and Acatenango. The town is home to many coffee farmers, whom you can see on a typical day heading up the slopes of the volcano through the communal paths to tend to their fields of coffee or other crops.

I make only espresso, so fresh coffee beans are important to me. I'd heard of Nossa Familia because a local bakery served Full Cycle. I was looking for options at New Seasons and saw that they had it with an acceptable roast date. At Christmas, I sent Nossa Familia to various relatives, noticing that I got free shipping with 2 bags. So I started ordering my own. Since it comes very fresh, 2 at a time is acceptable (I go through a bag in 6 days). But now the free shipping threshold has gone up to $40 and I don't want to buy 3 bags at once. So considering options, such as driving out to the roastery. Picked up my last bag at the cafe at NW Lovejoy & 13th and got to sample their espresso. Full Cycle makes great espresso. Ideal balance brightness vs bitterness for my taste. And I find I don't have to modify the grind as much over the 6 days as with some other coffees I've used, to maintain my desired extraction time of 25-30 sec for 30g brewed coffee from 20g ground.

This coffee is part of my daily routine. I could not imagine a good day without it. Nossa's consistent roast, full balanced flavor profile, and quality beans really shine. If you're looking for a perfect breakfast coffee this is it.

I do only espresso (occasional latte) at home. I recently discovered that the coffee I had been using was actually less expensive at the market than at the cafe, so I started sampling different coffees the market had, and tried Full Cycle. I was very pleased with the results. Just right for my taste. Then I decided to send Nossa Familia to family members for Christmas and discovered that with 2 bags, shipping is free. So now I have made them my regular source of coffee for at-home espresso. When starting the 2nd bag, I order my next two, which works out well, given the freshness of the coffee when it arrives.
