In collaboration with Jhoan Vergara and CATA Export, El Diviso has redefined how fermentation is carried out, achieving unique profiles that are now being used in Brewers Cups throughout Europe.

This coffee isn't just special—it's a benchmark.

Process

Processed using anaerobic natural with thermal shock, one of the most advanced protocols:

Rigorous selection and cleaning of cherries
Initial oxidation (36–48h)
Controlled anaerobic fermentation (24–36h)
Submerged fermentation with must recirculation
Thermal shock (65–70°C) to fix aromas
Technical drying in dehumidifiers
Stabilization in GrainPro

This process allows for maximum aromatic expression with high precision.

KB Coffee Roasters is a Parisian roastery obsessed with one thing: flavor.

Their philosophy is simple yet radical — they choose coffees solely for how they taste, not based on trends, marketing, or history. Each batch undergoes blind cuppings, and they only select what they are truly excited to drink every day.

Their approach is deliberately "selfish": they roast the coffee they love. This honesty defines their identity — they aren't trying to please everyone, but rather to create something truly special.

Behind every coffee is rigorous work with long-term producers and partners, nurturing the entire process from origin to cup.

👉 Result: authentic, precise coffees made with a real obsession for quality.
