La Cabra is Spanish for “goat”, a rather peculiar name for a Danish roaster. It might be a reference to the coffee origin story from Ethiopian folklore. My first encounter with them was during a short trip, when I walked into a promising-looking coffee shop and was served an incredibly clean cup brewed with a Delter Press.

A coffee shop serving brews from Delter is such a rare occurrence, and having it taste so incredibly clean naturally led me to order a bag. Their prices are on the higher end, but the quality is impeccable. They promise a lot and actually deliver. This one worked well in both the AeroPress and Delter as a daily brew.

P.S. Roasters positioning themselves as premium tend to put their bags in well-designed boxes (also see Mazelab and Drop Coffee). La Cabra goes the extra mile even with the bag itself, which has a very pleasant tactile feel.
