Supports Farmers

The Pacamara variety from Finca Castelgazzo is grown in the high, reforested region where El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras meet. The farm follows a sustainable forestry model, allowing coffee plants to grow under natural shade and benefit from the cool climate at elevation. These conditions produce a Pacamara bean that is both powerful and refined.

For the espresso roast, this variety is developed to highlight its full structure, balance and clean expression. The washed process enhances stability and clarity in the cup, while preserving the distinct character of the Pacamara itself.

With a cupping score of 86+, this is a high-quality specialty espresso - rich, expressive and yet remarkably accessible, fully aligned with Camino Coffee’s commitment to clarity, quality and honest craftsmanship.

Get the most out of your coffee

The Pacamara is roasted with espresso in mind, focusing on structure and balance under pressure. In a home espresso machine, it’s a very forgiving coffee. You don’t need perfect technique, a fresh grind and a balanced extraction will already get you most of the way there. If you enjoy slightly longer shots, this coffee handles that beautifully.

In fully automatic machines, this roast works especially well when you avoid pushing the extraction too hard. A medium-fine grind and moderate strength settings usually result in a smooth, rounded cup. The same applies to a Moka pot: low heat, patience, and removing it from the stove early makes a noticeable difference.

What’s often overlooked is that this espresso roast can also be used for filter brewing. The cup will feel fuller and rounder, with more body and comfort than a typical filter roast. Grinding a bit coarser and using a slightly lower dose helps keep everything in balance.

Inside a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve

Castelgazzo sits in the buffer zone of Montecristo National Park, inside the Trifinio Biosphere Reserve—where El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras meet. At 2,418 meters, surrounded by protected cloud forests, conservation isn’t just a practice here. It’s built into the landscape.

Coffee, Forestry & Conservation in One

Since day one in 1995, Castelgazzo was designed as more than a coffee farm. It’s a permanent project combining forestry production, environmental conservation, and sustainable development. The land’s been cared for with that triple commitment from the start.

Farm Profile

The story

Finca Castelgazzo is located in an exceptional place: the buffer zone of the Montecristo National Park, in the heart of the Trifinio Biosphere Reserve where El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras meet. On these high mountain slopes, surrounded by cloud forests at over 1,500 meters above sea level, the coffee plants thrive in a cool and stable microclimate that is ideal for producing high-quality coffee.

The farm was founded in 1995 by Mario and “La Geña” Cristiani with a clear vision: to create an agricultural and forestry project that respects nature while supporting economic and social development. What began as a carefully designed sustainability initiative has grown into a farm where forest management, environmental protection and high-quality coffee cultivation exist in harmony.

After the passing of the founders, Castelgazzo is now led by their daughters — Paola, Lucía and Carolina — who have carried their parents’ mission forward: to cultivate a place defined by peace, beauty and nature, where every harvest contributes to a sustainable family legacy.

Castelgazzo works exclusively with shaded, reforested plots and natural water sources, fostering long-term relationships in which producers and coffee drinkers strengthen one another. Each bag of coffee supports the preservation of this unique ecosystem and the continuation of a family tradition rooted in care, respect and quality.

For Camino Coffee, Finca Castelgazzo is a remarkable partner: a farm that not only produces excellent coffee but also embodies a vision that aligns with our commitment to quality, transparency and sustainable collaboration.

Frequently asked questions

Where do your coffee beans come from? And how do you source them?

Every Camino bean carries a journey that starts with real farmers who’ve been perfecting their craft for generations. We work directly with growers across carefully selected regions, building relationships that celebrate their stories and ensure fair compensation. Our selection rotates seasonally because we follow harvest cycles, meaning you’re always getting the freshest, most vibrant coffee from each origin. Check the product pages to meet the faces behind your cup and see exactly where each coffee comes from.

Why does specialty coffee cost more than supermarket brands?

Great question! Behind every bag of Camino is a story of care, craft, and community. We pay farmers fairly for their exceptional work, roast in small batches to ensure peak flavour, and only source beans that meet specialty coffee standards (think: top 5% of global production). Unlike mass-market coffee that’s pulled from massive commodity piles where origins and quality get lost, every Camino bean is traceable to specific farms and farmers who’ve put their heart into the harvest. You’re not just paying for coffee, you’re investing in ethical sourcing, farmer livelihoods, and a cup that’s been raised, not just grown. The difference? You’ll taste it in every sip, and you’ll feel it knowing your coffee supports real people and real communities.

What if I don’t love it? Can I return or exchange?

Absolutely! We’re confident you’ll love your Camino coffee, but if something’s not quite right, we’ve got you covered. Just reach out to us within 30 days, and we’ll work with you to resolve the situation, whether that’s finding a different coffee that better suits your taste or another solution that works for you. We’re here to make sure every cup is a story worth sharing, and sometimes that means finding the right match.

How long does shipping take, and how much does it cost?

Orders are usually delivered within 1–3 business days within the Netherlands. Shipping is €4,95 and we offer free shipping on all orders over €35. Once your package ships, you'll receive a tracking link to follow its delivery.

Why do your coffee selections change?

Because coffee is seasonal, just like the best produce at a farmers’ market! Coffee harvest cycles vary by region, so when beans are at their freshest and most flavourful, that’s when we bring them to you. It means you’re always tasting coffee at its peak, and it keeps our lineup exciting and full of new stories to discover. Think of it as a coffee adventure; each season brings new origins, new flavours, and new farmers to celebrate. You’ll never get bored, and your taste buds will thank you

I’m not a coffee expert, will I be able to brew great coffee at home?

You absolutely will! Our coffee is designed to taste amazing no matter what you’re brewing with. Whether it’s a fully automatic machine like a Jura, a traditional piston espresso machine, or anything in between. We roast our beans to bring out balanced, vibrant flavours that shine through in any setup, so you don’t need to be a barista to get café-quality results at home. Just use fresh beans, follow your machine’s guidelines, and you’re good to go. Great coffee shouldn’t be complicated!
