The Miners Brazil Monteiro – Chocolate & Caramel Nespresso® Specialty Coffee Capsules

Brazil Monteiro – sweet, chocolatey Brazilian specialty coffee in a compostable capsule

Grown in the Rio Pardo region, on the border between the Mogiana and southern Minas Gerais growing areas, Brazil Monteiro is everything people love about classic Brazilian coffee: caramel sweetness, wafer biscuit tones and the soft texture of chocolate ice cream. It is roasted by The Miners, a specialty roastery and café chain founded in Prague in 2019 and now present across Czechia, Spain, Poland, Slovakia, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands, who buy directly from the farmers they work with. Like every coffee in our range, Brazil Monteiro is a genuine specialty coffee – traceable, carefully sourced and roasted for flavour, then sealed into a compostable capsule.

Why you’ll love Brazil Monteiro

Sweet, low-acid and full-bodied

This is a cup built on sweetness rather than sharpness. Caramel and wafer biscuit lead, backed by nutty depth and a hint of stone fruit, while the low acidity and full body give it a rounded, creamy mouthfeel – think chocolate ice cream in liquid form. An easy everyday espresso that never turns aggressive.

Made for milk drinks

Because the sweetness is high and the acidity is gentle, Brazil Monteiro performs exceptionally well with milk. In a cappuccino, flat white or latte the caramel and chocolate notes push straight through the milk instead of disappearing behind it. Neat as an espresso it stays balanced and comforting.

A natural process done slowly

The cherries are processed natural, then dried with unusual patience: 12 days on the patios, followed by roughly 10 hours in mechanical dryers, and finally 15 days resting in wooden Tulhas silos so the moisture and the flavour stabilise. That slow, staged drying is what gives the coffee its harmonious, sweet and remarkably clean cup.

Roasted by The Miners

The “Monteiro Lobato” blend comes out of close collaboration between Ocafi and the producers around Fazenda Pinheiro. The Miners roast it to highlight sweetness and body, and pack it into compostable Nespresso®-style capsules that were developed through their own crowdfunding campaign – specialty coffee without the plastic and aluminium waste.
