Alemu Adama wet and dry mill station is located in the Sidama Region, specifically within the Bensa Woreda of the Abay Teka district. The station supplies high-quality washed coffee to customers and employs 5 permanent staff members and 120 temporary workers, thereby contributing to the local economy. Quality and sustainability are key principles at this facility. Approximately 700,000 kilograms of red cherries are processed annually. The coffee varieties 74158, 74165, and 74110 originate from the Jimma Research Center, along with heirloom varieties. The station implements two processing methods: washed and natural.
For wet processing, ripe cherries are separated from unripe cherries using a disc pulpier, and biological fermentation removes the mucilage. Fermentation lasts 36 to 48 hours, followed by soaking and drying on raised beds for 6 to 7 days until the beans reach a moisture content of 10-12%. For natural processing, full ripe cherries are dried on raised beds for 12 to 15 days until the beans achieve a similar moisture content range. Spring water is used for coffee washing, and a wastewater management system with a standard lagoon is set up more than 50 meters from any rivers.
Quality control measures ensure the delivery of fully ripe red cherries and uphold standards at each processing stage. Approximately 350 farmers supply coffee to the station. Traceability is maintained by recording each batch as it progresses through production and distribution, using red cherry receiving vouchers from farmers, store receiving vouchers after drying, and store issue vouchers. The station prioritizes sustainability in environmental and social welfare by training farmers and staff on deforestation, water protection, waste management, and labour policies. Support is also provided to low-income households through health insurance and contributions toward road construction and the enhancement of spring water resources.

Great taste and great service. Ordered beans instead of grounds changed over with no issues.
I bought two of their blends and they were both wonderful. Looking forward to ordering again!

I have been drinking various coffee from Monkey Board but without doubt the Italian Monkey is by far my favourite. I prefer a stronger bean and this gives strength and richness without the bitterness. Haven’t found anything else to match it
Great coffee, easy ordering and prompt delivery time… very satisfied.
My favourite & go to coffee, I always have a supply of this. Very consistent, always makes a great coffee and great value beans. Will continue to order this from Monkeyboard. Highly recommend!
Lovely coffee and excellent service from Monkeyboard. Many thanks
Very nice coffee. Low acidity as I like, chocolaty hint. Perfect for a morning wake up.
It’s coffee, it tastes great - what more do you need to know? Probably in my top three of coffee beans and I have had a few.
This is a really good coffee. Smooth, but very interesting, with plenty of flavour going on. I found this coffee to be very satisfying.
I'm enjoying this as my daily decaff coffee. I use 14g on a moderate grind with 220ml water and 3 minute brew on my Aeropress to bring out the sweetness. Still experimenting with this though!
Nothing touches this coffee tried allsorts of brands but this is the best by far I use the beans in my machine and but an extra packet for my aero press which I take fishing awesome taste and flavour
