Head Roaster Message:
"Ugly Cute is our way of reducing waste at the farm level and increasing sustainability by taking coffee beans that would otherwise be overlooked and giving them a new lease on life. The robusta and small-screen Brazilian beans give a robust and intense flavour profile enjoyed by most coffee lovers"

Roast Process:
A darker roast profile and longer development phase help to caramelize the coffee´s natural sugars and create a fuller body and deeper flavour profile.
What's in the blend?
We change the beans with the seasons. At the moment, Ugly Cute contains unwanted coffee from Caparaó in Brazil and the Rwenzoris mountains in Uganda.
Is it wholebean?
You can choose if you like it as wholebean or filter ground in the drop-down menu.

UGLY CUTE
Maybe not the prettiest cup at first glance, but oh so tasty, reliable, and sustainable. In other words: it’s a keeper! There is always a coffee that no one notices or even cares about at first glance. Already at the coffee farm, beans that lack the right shape, color, or size are sold at sub-prices. That is, until you've tasted it, heard its fascinating, important story, and now – you just want more.
The story of Ugly Cute
Ugly Cute is our hommage to everything and everyone that is more than just
the first impression. It is also a result of our dedication to use the whole
coffee harvest, and not waste beans that are actually perfect in their imperfections.
The “ugly”, which in our eyes becomes beautiful and good. A coffee
farmer who can sell the WHOLE crop without having to sell parts at sub prices
on a domestic market can invest in the farm, the family, and the future.
Once forgotten, now loved and cherished. Grown and refined at one of Lykke's
or our neighboring coffee farms. We vary the recipe, coffee, and mixture
in order to make use of the farmer's ENTIRE harvest.
Sustainability
Grown in harmony with people and planet - without middle persons.
Flavour
Perfectly roasted coffee, with the taste of origin, terroir and process of the coffee.
Cultivating Happiness
We aim that nothing and no one will be harmed when you enjoy a good cup of coffee!

Traditionally robusta has the reputation of being of inferior quality. And comparing it to the Arabica beans, it sure presents a much rougher flavour profile. With ongoing climate change, robusta will have to play a bigger role in the future, as it can withstand tougher conditions. So we simply want to see how good we can make it and at the same time cater to the espresso drinker that doesn't appreciate coffee being fruity and full of acidity.
