Coffee is more than a drink. It’s a story.
Coffee has connected people for centuries. At My Father Coffee, we honour that tradition by roasting with care, consistency and respect for the craft, so every cup tells a story worth tasting.
THE ORIGIN OF COFFEE
Coffee’s journey began centuries ago in the highlands of Ethiopia, where coffee trees grew wild and were first discovered for their energising effect. From there, coffee travelled to Yemen, where people started roasting and brewing the beans — transforming coffee into a social ritual.
By the 15th century, coffeehouses appeared across the Middle East and later Europe. These were not just places to drink coffee, but spaces where ideas, conversations and communities were born. Coffee became fuel for thinkers, traders and creators — a role it still plays today.
At My Father Coffee, we see ourselves as part of that long tradition: respecting where coffee comes from, and honouring how it’s meant to be enjoyed.

POPULAR COFFEE BEVERAGES
Espresso
An espresso is brewed by forcing hot water through finely ground coffee under pressure.
Pure, intense and concentrated. The foundation of almost every coffee.
Dose: 18–20 g ground coffeeYield: 36–40 g liquid coffee
Extraction time: 25–30 seconds
Ratio: 1:2
This method delivers a rich body, intense aroma and a natural crema on top. Espresso is the reference point for quality and consistency.
Cappuccino
A cappuccino is built on a single espresso combined with steamed milk and milk foam.
Balanced, comforting and timeless.
Base: 1 espresso (≈ 36–40 g)
Steamed milk: ± 120 ml
Milk foam: ± 1–2 cm layer
Ratio: roughly 1/3 espresso, 1/3 milk, 1/3 foam
The result is a harmonious balance between coffee intensity and creamy texture.
Filter Coffee
Filter coffee is brewed by slowly passing hot water through coarser ground coffee without pressure.
Dose: 60 g coffee per 1 litre of water
Cup size: ± 250 ml
Brew time: 3–4 minutes
Ratio: 1:16–1:17
This method highlights subtle flavours, origin characteristics and clarity.
Latte
A latte contains more milk than a cappuccino, making it milder and creamier.
Base: 1 espresso (≈ 36–40 g)
Steamed milk: ± 180–220 ml
Foam: thin, light layer
Ratio: about 1/5 espresso, 4/5 milk
Perfect for those who enjoy coffee flavour without sharp intensity.
