  • Tried the Kenya AA from Mak Coffee and honestly, it’s a solid cup if you like your coffee bright and lively. The first thing I noticed was the smell—super fresh, kind of fruity, almost citrusy. Once brewed, the flavor really kicks in—think blackcurrant, maybe some grapefruit, and this clean, crisp finish that makes you go “okay, this is different.” It’s definitely not your average smooth, chocolatey coffee. It’s got a tang to it—like, it wakes up your taste buds. I had it black using pour-over and that seemed to bring out the best in it. Probably not something I’d mix with milk; it’s not that type of coffee. More like a sipper, something to enjoy when you actually want to taste the coffee. If I had to nitpick, it’s a bit too acidic for everyday drinking (at least for me), but that’s also kind of the point. It’s not trying to be mellow. It’s bold, a little wild, and pretty fun if you’re in the mood for something with personality.

What is Mak Coffee?

In their own words

Mak Coffee is built on a legacy that began in the 1930s, when my grandfather started growing Arabica coffee in Bicumbi, Rwanda. My father took over the farm in 1997, introducing new methods to help local farmers improve their yields and earn a fair income. After his passing in 2020, I continued the family business with the goal of honoring their work and supporting local farmers. We source our coffee from family-owned farms in Rwanda and Uganda, where each bean is carefully hand-picked, sun-dried, and processed without artificial fertilizers. By roasting and grinding the beans ourselves, we ensure that every cup delivers the best flavor. At Mak Coffee, we’re committed to paying farmers a fair price for their coffee while providing our customers with high-quality beans. With every cup, you’re supporting farmers’ livelihoods and enjoying coffee made with care and dedication.
