Ismael Quinteros Orantes is a 49-year-old coffee producer with a deep and enduring connection to his craft. He is married and the proud father of five children - two sons and three daughters. Coffee farming is not just his livelihood, but a family legacy that spans generations.
Ismael’s journey in coffee began at home. His family entered coffee production nearly 60 years ago, starting with his grandfather, making Ismael the third generation to carry on this tradition.
In the early years, his grandfather experimented with both sugarcane and coffee, eventually discovering that coffee offered greater profitability. This realization laid the foundation for the family’s long-term commitment to coffee cultivation.
From a young age, Ismael was immersed in the world of coffee. He grew up watching his father care for the coffee plants and remembers the moment his father first taught him the skills and knowledge required to cultivate coffee. These early experiences shaped his passion for the profession and continue to inspire his work today.
Despite his dedication, Ismael faces significant challenges as a coffee farmer. Labor shortages during harvest season, the ongoing threat of coffee rust, and severe droughts driven by climate change all present serious obstacles. Nevertheless, he has achieved important milestones, including successfully exporting his coffee and increasing its profitability.
Looking ahead, Ismael hopes to continue growing as a coffee producer by improving processing methods and enhancing the quality of his coffee. Beyond business success, he dreams of one day meeting the roasters and consumers who enjoy his coffee abroad, so he can share his story and the passion, effort, and dedication behind every cup.

We use our OptionO P80, Cafec T90 paper filters, RO filtered water round 75 ppm, and a medium-course grindsize (between 600-650 µm / 5.0-5.5 on the P80 / 23-25 clicks on a Commandante C40)
