Kamundu Estate

Kamundu Estate Natural is a distinctive Kenyan coffee produced at Kamundu Estate in Kiambu County. The coffee is naturally processed, with the cherries dried whole before the beans are removed, creating a sweeter and more fruit-driven expression than the classic washed Kenyan profile. In the cup, it shows apricot jam, passion fruit and citrus, combining rich fruit sweetness with bright, lively acidity.

Water goes in the bottom chamber or globe (hot water if you wish to speed up the process).
Rinse the cloth filter.
Clip the string at the bottom of the glass tube on the top chamber.
Fit the chambers together.
Wait for the water to rise to the top chamber.
Gently add the ground coffee to the hot water and start the timer.
Make sure the coffee is submerged in the water.
Gently stir the top of the puck/crust.
After 30–40 seconds, stir the slurry with 4–6 turns.
Turn off the heat source. Use a wet cloth to reduce the heat.
Once the coffee draws back into the bottom chamber, pour it from one jug to another repeatedly to help it cool down.
Serve and enjoy. Remember, this is one of the hottest brewing styles, so take your time and let it cool a bit before drinking.
