EMA espresso bar
Prague, Czech Republic
Prague specialty coffee chain opened in 2013, inspired by the Berlin café scene, now with four locations across the city. Coffee is roasted on-site at Alf & Bet — EMA's own bakery and roastery in a former industrial workshop near Palmovka — alongside sourdough bread and pastries baked daily. EMA's baristas have won national and international awards, and the cafés pour single-origin lots from Alf & Bet alongside guest microroasters.

Alfabet's decaf moves from Colombia to Brazil: a natural from Fazenda Bioma in Campos Altos, Cerrado, decaffeinated with ethyl acetate. Huge sweetness, medium body and almost no acidity; an omni roast for filter or a full, sweet espresso.
Very sweet, medium body, almost no acidity
A fixture in Alfabet's line-up from Yannin Díaz, whose farm the team visited in September 2023. This year's Caturra lot rested 24 hours in cherry, was pulped and tank-fermented for about 55 hours, then washed and dried 16-21 days. Juicy fruit, high sweetness and a long finish.
Juicy fruit, high sweetness, long finish
A super funky, sweet Tabi from the Grupo Asociación Palestina farmer group in Huila. Whole cherries fermented 48 hours in sealed bags, then 90 more hours submerged in valved tanks, before 21+ days on shaded raised beds. Roasted for filter and espresso.
Funky, sweet
From Ángel María López's Las Delicias farm, one of Alfabet's long-standing favourites; the team visited Ángel in September 2023. Super juicy with high sweetness and a long finish. Roasted for filter and espresso.

A washed lot from the Gotiti station in Gedeb, part of the Ephtah Specialty project, imported by Falcon Coffees. Only ripe cherries were pulped, fermented in tanks without water and dried 10-15 days. Very sweet with a tea-like body, a touch of bergamot and citrus acidity; for filter or a light espresso.
Tea-like body, bergamot, citrus
From Ichuga, one of five stations owned by the Kiama Farmers Cooperative Society in Karatina, Nyeri. Ripe cherry is checked by a cherry clerk, pulped, fermented 16-18 hours, washed and dried about a week on raised beds. Full, juicy body with redcurrant, berries and citrus; Alfabet's pick of the year for juicy filter and very fruity espresso.
Redcurrant, berries, citrus
Alfabet's specialty coffee roasted for automatic espresso machines at the office or at home: a full, sweet body with chocolate and hazelnut and minimal acidity, for clean espresso or as a base for cappuccino and latte. Sold in 1 kg bags.
