Back to our roots...Africa. We bring you Kenya. No Back to our roots...Africa. We bring you Kenya. Now, this is where the acidity joins the party...pretty sure when you read acidity, your senses kicked in. Coffees from Africa tend to have more bite, and that's why we love them. You'll pick up bright, complex berry/fruit qualities with a pleasant sweetness and a pleasant acidity – Kenya truly has some stunning coffees.

Next up is Guatemala... pinpointing this flavour p Next up is Guatemala... pinpointing this flavour profile is challenging as this origin has a wide range of flavours from lighter sweet, fruity and complex coffees through to the heavier, richer and more chocolatey cups. However, from our experience and based on the coffees we have tasted, coffees from this origin tilt towards the chocolatey side, a flavour very prominent with the South American coffee beans.

Generally, we try and steer away from pinning down Generally, we try and steer away from pinning down a flavour profile to an origin BUT it is true that a certain origin on the balance of probability would lean itself towards a certain flavour profile.  So we’ll be sharing some of the taste profiles per origin assisting you to identify the mystery coffee for the promo we are running at the moment. 

First up is Burundi – this coffee is great and has complex berry flavours with a nice juicy mouth feel.

Have you heard? Gegrond has upgraded its roaster a Have you heard? Gegrond has upgraded its roaster and we are childishly excited about the new #Genio6! Woohoo! 

As we are getting to know our new piece of equipment (like a 6 year old with his Legos after Christmas), we will be sharing some ins and outs, so that you too can appreciate what makes it such a precious investment for Gegrond.

Let's start off on a scientific roll, by telling you about the dual-walled, ceramic-coated drum. Drumroll please😉

The dual-walled, ceramic-coated Drum
 (3 minute read) 

The Genio6's drum is a cylinder-shaped compartment inside the roasting machine and its job is to house our beloved beans, while allowing optimal heat transfer for the perfect roast. It rotates at a constant velocity, which we adjust according to the batch size to be roasted. 

We will have to take 2 steps back and explain the basic science of heat transfer, in order to better understand what makes the drum something to write home about. 

Heat transfer describes the flow of thermal energy from one location to another. It occurs in 3 ways: convection, conduction and radiation. 

1) Convection:
When air or a liquid is heated, it travels away from its source and carries the thermal energy along with it (you know, hot air rises?) This is because the air above a hot surface will expand (due to other laws of science), become less dense and rise. The rising hot air will then displace the cold air downwards, which in turn will be heated up and so the cycle continues. 

Some drums (like our previous roaster) are perforated throughout to allow airflow, but the Genio6's drum has an air inlet at the back and an escape at the front. Clean air is drawn in through special side-mounted air vents, heated up by the burner and circulated through the drum. 

The Genio6's drum has a dual wall, made of carbon steel, with a 4mm air gap between the two layers. Airflow in this space allows a cooler inner drum and a more evenly distributed heat transfer. 

2) Conduction:

Fresh from the printers! Your new thank you card! Fresh from the printers! Your new thank you card!

When you get yours, feel free to take a photo and share, we love and value your feedback.  Just a recap of the coffees we have in stock:

- Colombian Popayan Supremo - fresh green apple flavours and a pleasant chocolaty aftertaste

- Tanzanian - lemongrass, sweet fruit flavours and a medium body 
- Columbian Exelso (Decaf) – bold and chocolaty….full stop

- Ethiopian Anderacha – very characteristic of an Ethiopian coffee, this one is bright and floral with hints of rose, medium body and a lingering aftertaste that reminds us of lemon and lime

- Nicaragua Marsellesa – show stopper - almond, exotic fruit (starfruit) flavours and a full buttery-like mouthfeel

Ordering any one of the above coffees or any of our products will get you a piece of art you can stick against your fridge or use as a placeholder for a book you’re reading.  If you have some thoughts on what you might be using this card for please add your thoughts in the comments.

Our very own Genio 6kg custom roaster! A brief o Our very own Genio 6kg custom roaster! 

A brief overview of where we started, where we are now, and what this new roaster means for you.  It was only in the 3rd quarter of 2019 when we got our first 2kg roaster.  It is still fresh in our memory vault. We arranged a pick-up truck and drove all the way up to Malelane (near Nelspruit) to go and collect our roaster.  Pieter’s smile said it all – pure joy. 

We were delighted with our purchase. 
Fast forward one and a half years and it is a different picture with one common emotion....thankfulness. Yes, joy and excitement are equally fitting words to describe how we feel. Still, these emotions are pointless without thankfulness.  We have been lucky and blessed full stop. You played and continue to play a vital role in the story of Gegrond.  Without you, we would just have a piece of expensive equipment with no purpose.  So thank you.

Late in 2020 we took a hard look at our piggy bank and approached Genio to see if their product would suit our needs. Needless to say, it was a perfect match, so we left our piggy bank on their desk and they started with the design and assembly of the roaster.  After months of design and hard work done by Genio, we took delivery of our very own Genio 6kg custom roaster.  It was Frederik's turn to take delivery and roast our very first batch – again pure joy!

So what does this mean for you? We have loads of exciting articles, blogs and YouTube content coming your way, which means you'll be a coffee guru in no time.  The Genio roaster functionality means that we can now develop our very own Gegrond home coffee blends.
We are excited and feel privileged to be able to share this journey with you!

Does this tree look familiar?? This is a Kameeldo Does this tree look familiar?? This is a  Kameeldoring tree, the same as in our Gegrond logo.  We chose this tree for our logo and this design as it resonates with South Africa and us. It reminds us of the hardship and the beauty of this continent. 

The three hikers represent the life that we want to live and the motto that we encourage. To live unrestricted. Fill your life with experiences that will create lasting memories and demand quality in every area of your life. Even something as “simple” as enjoying and sharing a coffee can bring immense joy if you open yourself to what it can offer.
