kamavindi coffee is a natural-process kenyan coffee from the embu region, roasted by volcano coffee works. natural processing means the coffee cherries dry whole, which concentrates fruit character in the cup. expect blackcurrant up front, with jasmine and broader floral notes giving it a fragrant, tea-like quality alongside the fruit. because natural kenyan coffees carry a lot of sweetness and body, they work well as filter, where a longer brew time lets the floral and fruit layers develop. keep water around 93c and avoid over-extraction, which can push the blackcurrant toward a jammy bitterness.

about volcano coffee works

london's specialty coffee scene has spent the last decade pulling in every direction at once, with roasters popping up across zones two and three faster than most people can keep track. volcano coffee works, on ferndale road in brixton, has stayed put through all of it. that kind of consistency in sw9 means something, because brixton doesn't reward places that aren't pulling their weight. if you're coming from the tube, the walk down ferndale road is short and the shop is exactly where you'd want it to be after a stretch underground. the roasting operation is the core of what they do here, not a side note. worth timing your visit for a weekday morning, when the neighborhood is still finding its pace.
