Get excited for Guatemala!

We have just added 2025’s fresh crop Guatemalan offerings to our list! This selection offers a wide range of coffee lots, with distinct cup profiles and price points, from some of Guatemala’s most distinguished coffee-producing families and growing regions.

Meet Kiama Cooperative

During our February visit to Kenya, we were delighted to spend time with the leadership of Kiama Farmers’ Cooperative Society (FCS), getting key insights into how they’re able to produce such delicious coffees.

The Santa Clara Scholarship Program

Run by Antigua Guatemala’s Zelaya family, the Santa Clara Scholarship Program has changed the lives of many of their staff’s children by providing them access to greater educational opportunities.

Jambo Kenya!

It’s been a huge week at our Brunswick East HQ, as our latest shipment of fresh crop Kenyan coffees just landed. Sourced during our February visit, we’re thrilled to report the coffees have all been approved following our internal QC, and are ready for dispatch.

It’s time to plan for Rwanda!

Next month, MCM is heading back to Rwanda. Before we head off, we want to hear from you to help us build our buying brief and accurately plan for the 2025/26 season!
