The Signature Swiss Roast in a 500g Size
Mocca Surfin represents the pinnacle of the La Semeuse tradition. This 500g (1.1lbs) bag is designed for coffee lovers who want a consistent supply of our most popular blend. Sourced from Central America, Brazil, and Ethiopia, this 100% Arabica coffee is crafted for those who demand both power and refinement in their morning cup.
Roasting at 1,000 Meters: Why Altitude Matters
Unlike mass-produced coffees roasted at sea level, Mocca Surfin is roasted in the high-altitude environment of La Chaux-de-Fonds. The lower atmospheric pressure at 1,000 meters allows for a gentler roasting process at lower temperatures. This unique Swiss method eliminates the harsh tannins that cause bitterness, resulting in a digestible, low-acid coffee that is smooth on the palate and easy on the stomach.

Brewing Guide: How to Craft the Perfect Mocca Surfin
To fully experience the delicate cocoa and grilled almond notes of our signature Swiss roast, we recommend the following methods:
1. The Classic Drip Machine (The Daily Ritual)
- Ratio: Use 2 level tablespoons of ground coffee for every 6 ounces of filtered water.
- Water Temp: Ensure your machine reaches 195°F to 205°F for optimal extraction.
- Tip: Use a high-quality paper filter to highlight the “Surfin” (Extra Fine) clarity of the blend.
2. The Italian Moka Pot (For Intensity)
- Water: Fill the bottom chamber with hot water to prevent scorching the beans.
- Coffee: Fill the basket loosely with Mocca Surfin; do not tamp it down.
- Heat: Brew on low heat. Remove from the stove as soon as the coffee reaches the top to maintain the smooth, low-acid profile.
3. The Refined Pour-Over (For Complexity)
- Ratio: 30g of Mocca Surfin Ground to 500g of water.
- Technique: Pour in a slow, circular motion. The universal medium-fine grind of the 500g bag is specifically calibrated for a 3-to-4-minute brew time.
