Details
Francisco Molina started growing coffee together with his father after finishing highschool. Ever since his father passed away he has been in charge of the farm. The size of the farm is about 2.45 hectares, most of the farm is used to grow Red Catuai, however it is also used for growing Bourbon and Typica. Before partnering with us, the coffee from this farm was bought from a local buyer. Since then, the farm is focused on specialty picking and processing. Francisco is very pleased with how their quality of life has improved because of shifting to specialty coffee, and this has allowed him to improve his farm.
Francisco is very careful in the application of fertilisers, applying the exact amount required according to the soil analysis is very important. He trains his twelve coffee pickers to pick only the most ripe cherries. The process used in the farm is very specific; the coffee cherry is added to the stainless steel tanks with the mucilage left on. The tanks are airtight, and the absence of Oxygen stimulates a Thermic fermentation process. The process develops a unique series of acids such as lactic and malic which will translate to a very complex flavor. Once ready the coffee is 100% sun dried.
Cordillera de Fuego wet mil has implemented many small projects to reduce the water usage and increase efficiency, but one of the biggest projects they have done is the installation of solar panels, with these panels the main office is able to run.

Let customers speak for us
from 85 reviewsExcellent products and friendliness in a very pleasant and welcoming place. Congratulations,
I have been buying filtered beans from this cafe for a year now. Today I just got diamond grains! One of the best coffees in recent years.
I can say with confidence that here is the best coffee in Lisbon. A constantly changing range of beans, fresh roasts, good baristas.
Very friendly owners and staff.
There is a children's corner with a drawing board and toys.
Of the comments, I would like more comfortable chairs.

They know what they're doing with their coffee AND they're really friendly.
Love this place! Amazing coffee—roasted on site with two tiny roasters… lovely staff who properly care about their coffee, food and people of course. Nice interior. Kid friendly.
Breakfast is actually really good. Perfectly poached eggs. One of my favorite spots to bring the kiddos on a day out!
Grab a bag of beans and try them at home.
Love this place!!!! It’s a god save if you live close buy and want to buy quality coffee beans. I go there almost every week, the food the coffee the ambiance the staff all together makes it a great place.
One of the best coffee roasters in Lisbon on Rua Jardins do Buzano near Cascais. They serve delicious brunch and freshly roasted coffee with great taste. We received excellent service. It is a cozy place with a very pleasant atmosphere.
Excellent specialty coffee. Delicious sandwiches, sweets and outstanding service! UPDATE: the place is wonderful, has more room and is very beautiful with the same quality and kindness of the staff
From my experience and after trying 7 different shops across 4 different brands, this is easily the best specialty coffee in Lisbon.
Sadly it is a bit out of the way of the city center, but everything else more than makes up for it. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great pastries and bread, to the point it is worth the visit for the food alone even if you're not into coffee. And obviously, phenomenal coffee
This place is beautiful! Far from any usual hipster rosters. The coffee aste very good, the food is amazing, the people here are very friendly and it’s also very cheap. Flat white for 2.9€ is amazing compared to other places!
Thanks for having us at your beautiful roastery.
We’ll visit this place many more times in the next two weeks of our holiday!
This is the second time I came to Buraca. The first time I had an espresso. This time I had a latte and scone. OMG everything was so good! This honestly was some of the best coffee I've ever had. I didn't even need sugar with the espresso and I always use sugar! I can't wait to come back and bring my friends, especially my vegan friend. They seem to have some great vegan options.
Very good atmosphere with high quality coffee and own roasting. Friendly and welcoming service, has a wide variety of coffee, matcha and chai drinks. It has toast, pancakes and very tasty sweets. It has vegetarian options. They also do brunch. Very enjoyable, I highly recommend!
A beautiful place
Pleasant
