Benefits
Chosen by a Q Grader
Every coffee is cupped and selected by a licensed Q Grader, and each one scores 86 points or higher.
Roasted to order
We roast in small batches and ship within days, so the coffee arrives at its best.
A new story each month
Each Volume pairs two farms around one idea, with a playlist and prompts to go with it. It's a small ritual that changes every month.
Step 1
Grind just before you brew, medium-fine for pour-over.
Step 2
Use about 1 gram of coffee to 16 grams of water. 22 g to 350 g is a good cup.
Step 3
Water just off the boil. Pour slowly and evenly, about three minutes total.
Step 4
Let it cool a little. The fruit notes open up as it does.
How to Brew
The Farm
At Aquiares, the work doesn't stop at harvest. Diego has spent years building the processing infrastructure to match the quality of what's grown, and with a Red Honey, that facility earns its keep.
The skin of the coffee cherry is removed, but some of the sticky fruit layer is left on as it dries. That layer holds sugar, adding sweetness and weight while keeping the cup structured.
It's a delicate process that's closely managed.
Drying is controlled, timing is consistent, and the goal is to build flavor without letting it drift.
You can taste that restraint. The citrus stays clear, the florals stay in check, and the chocolate brings everything together.
