Kiandu coffee factory was formed in 1970. Today the factory counts with 1,524 active members. On average, each farmer grows approximatively 200 coffee trees. Most of them cultivate other crops such as maize, beans, and sweet potato. In line with the rising awareness on the need to conserve the environment, the factory has dug the waste water soak pits away from the water source where the waste water is allowed to soak in back to the soil. Additionally the society encourages its members to plant trees on their farms.

From funds set aside from the previous year’s harvest, members of the cooperative can access pre-financing for school fees, access to farm inputs and funds for emergency needs. The factory is receiving assistance from a field partner- Coffee Management Services (CMS). The long term goal is to increase coffee production through farmer training ( seminars, printed material on sustainable farming). By paying the producers some of the highest returns for their coffee this objective becomes more possible.

Farmers in this region typically cultivate Jarc varieties on small plots of land around their house. The washing stations counts with 300 african beds. The washing station is paying more than the market price for a kilogram of red cherry, and those farmers that bring quality red cherry are paid a cash incentive, ensuring higher-than-average overall quality. Coffee is selectively hand-picked before being delivered to the mill collection points, usually within 5km of the producers’ homes. Great care is taken upon delivery to separate out any overripe, underripe or damaged beans before consolidating with other lots for the road to the wet mil.

What is the SCA scale?

The SCA scale is like the coffee world's treasure map! It rates coffee from 1 to 100, and if your brew hits 80+, it's a true gem (a specialty). But remember, it's not just about the numbers, it's about the adventure – taste the story and support the farmers! 🌟

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.

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.

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.

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.
