Coffee Overview

Extra Time is a rich and expressive Ugandan coffee produced in the renowned Bugisu region on the slopes of Mount Elgon in Eastern Uganda. Grown by thousands of smallholder farmers, this coffee benefits from fertile volcanic soils, abundant rainfall, and high elevations that create ideal conditions for producing exceptional Arabica coffee.

The Bugisu region is home to the Bagisu people, whose coffee-growing traditions have been passed down through generations. Surrounded by dramatic waterfalls, lush vegetation, and the iconic Sipi Falls, the area is recognised as one of Uganda’s most celebrated coffee-producing landscapes.

Since its establishment in 1999, the Sipi Falls Arabica Coffee Project has supported local farmers through agronomic training, sustainable farming practices, and quality-focused production methods. The project continues to strengthen coffee-growing communities while preserving the region’s agricultural heritage and natural environment.

Farm / Processing

This lot is produced by smallholder farmers cultivating coffee at elevations between 1,800 and 2,100 metres above sea level. Coffee is grown under carefully managed conditions using sustainable farming practices, including intercropping and soil conservation techniques that help maintain long-term farm health and productivity.

After harvest, the cherries undergo a washed process designed to highlight clarity and balance in the cup. The combination of high altitude, volcanic soils, and meticulous processing results in a coffee that is sweet, structured, and full-bodied.

The cup delivers comforting notes of milk chocolate and blackcurrant, complemented by warming mixed spice characteristics. A smooth body, gentle acidity, and lingering sweetness create a balanced and satisfying finish, showcasing the distinctive character of Uganda’s finest Arabica coffees.

Grind Info

Whole Bean
Just beans. Suitable for grinding at home to match your preferred brewing method and equipment.

Fine Espresso
Ground finer for commercial espresso machines that use higher pressure, larger baskets, and more consistent extraction systems.
Examples: La Marzocco, Victoria Arduino, ECM, Rocket

Home Espresso Grind
Ground slightly coarser to suit domestic espresso and bean-to-cup machines, which typically operate at lower pressure and flow rates.
Examples: De'Longhi, Sage, Philips, supermarket espresso machines.

Stove Top Grind
Slightly coarser than espresso, designed for moka pots and stove top brewers where pressure is lower than traditional espresso machines.
Examples: Bialetti and other stove top brewers.

AeroPress Grind
Medium-fine grind optimised for AeroPress.

Filter Grind
Medium grind designed for slower extraction methods that rely on gravity rather than pressure. Best suited for filter coffee brewers and drip machines.
Examples: Moccamaster, Melitta, V60 and batch brew systems.
