el salvador coffee
by the barn ku'damm · berlin, germany
you'll taste milk chocolate before dark chocolate. this is himalaya pineapple, a natural el salvador from the barn ku'damm.
himalaya pineapple tastes of milk chocolate and dark chocolate, with the natural process giving the cup a full, sweet character and smooth body.
it is grown in el salvador and processed using the natural method, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried with the fruit still surrounding the bean, which intensifies sweetness and body.
brew methods that highlight body and sweetness, such as french press or pour-over filter, suit this coffee well, using water around 93°c and a slightly coarser grind to keep the chocolate notes clean and balanced.
the barn on ku'damm sits in one of berlin's most commercially saturated stretches, which makes what they're doing here genuinely interesting. kurfürstendamm 21 is surrounded by the kind of retail density that usually crowds out anything requiring patience or attention, but this place operates on its own terms. the barn has been roasting its own beans since before berlin specialty coffee became a thing people wrote about, and that history shows in how the coffee lands. not flashy. just precise. if you're passing through the western city center and assume the good stuff only lives in mitte or prenzlauer berg, this is the stop that corrects that. a flat white here on a weekday morning, before the boulevard fills up, is a solid reason to get off the u-bahn one stop early.
