Sitting at the foot of the Poas Volcano, Hacienda Sonora operates on 100% renewable energy generated by a hydroelectric generator that transforms rushing rivers into energy. The energy fuels the wet and dry mills and provides free electricity for everyone living and working on the farm.

In fact, Hacienda Sonora’s entire focus is on sustainability and protecting the local environment. Thirty-five of it’s one hundred hectares are given over to wild forest; all coffees are either natural or honey processed (saving huge amounts of wastewater) and the coffee trees themselves are grown amongst native shade trees, promoting biodiversity.

The Catuaí varietal is a cross between Mundo Novo and Caturra, widely grown across Central and South America and the black honey processing lends this coffee a sweet, floral and fruity character.

Packing & Grinding

With one exception (1Kg Beans) EVERY pack of Drury coffee sold via this website is prepared to order. We weigh, grind (if required) and pack your coffee in our heat-sealed foil bags which are equipped with a one-way valve that allows the freshly roasted coffee to release its wonderful-smelling aromas without letting any oxygen in, ensuring your coffee stays fresher for longer.

Packaging: Our 250g & 500g are currently LDPE 4 Recyclable.

We can supply our coffee in the following grinds, in ascending particle size:



Filter Fine
For all paper filters/drip coffee


Espresso
For electric and lever espresso machines.*.


Moka Express
For all stove-top espresso brewers.


Medium Grind
For permanent filters and perculators.


Cafetière
For French Press or plunger coffee makers.


Whole Beans
For grinding at home.


* We calibrate our espresso grind using commercial espresso equipment to give an average across ALL machines and cannot grind specifically for different models. If your machine is particularly sensitive to variation in grind we recommend grinding at home.

A note on Aeropress coffee makers: one of the Aeropress’s great strengths is its flexibility in brewing - dose weight, grind and extracting pressure all have a part to play in this. For that reason one can select any grind from espresso to cafetiere for use in the Aeropress, depending on personal preference. For those new to this form of brewing we would recommend starting off with a medium ground coffee and taking it from there.
