PureGusto Mama Cata Coffee Beans
2-Time Great Taste Award-Winning Gourmet Coffee
Baked Apple | Sweet Spice | Oak | Fruity Sweetness | Full-Bodied
There are coffees designed simply to satisfy, and there are coffees designed to be remembered.
PureGusto Mama Cata belongs firmly in the latter.
This exceptional gourmet coffee delivers a wonderfully complex cup combining sweet spice, baked apple, subtle oak and ripe fruit sweetness, all carried by a substantial body and lingering finish.
Carefully roasted here in the UK using our specialist convection roasting process, Mama Cata is taken to just before second crack. This develops its deeper, richer characteristics while preserving the fruit and sweetness that give the coffee its distinctive personality.
The result is a sophisticated coffee with genuine speciality credentials, yet enough richness and accessibility to work beautifully as an everyday premium coffee.
And its quality has been independently recognised, with two Great Taste Awards and an exceptional 95/100 independent Coffee Review score.
Gourmet Coffee Without the Pretension
Mama Cata was selected with a simple objective: to bring genuinely exceptional gourmet coffee within reach of more coffee drinkers.
It has the complexity enthusiasts look for, but it does not require an expert palate to appreciate it.
The first sip is rich and satisfying. Spend a little longer with the cup and layers begin to emerge: baked apple sweetness, warming spice, subtle oak and ripe fruit, all underpinned by a substantial body.
It is complex without being difficult.
Premium coffee you can analyse if you want to, or simply sit back and enjoy.

Exceptional Panamanian Coffee
Panama has developed an enviable reputation among speciality coffee drinkers, producing coffees capable of remarkable sweetness, clarity and complexity.
Mama Cata showcases that character in a richer and more developed roasting style.
Rather than pushing the coffee towards an extremely light speciality roast, we develop it further to create greater body and espresso intensity while retaining the fruit and aromatic complexity that make the coffee special.
That balance makes Mama Cata particularly versatile.
95/100 Independent Coffee Review Score
Mama Cata achieved an exceptional 95 points out of 100 from Coffee Review.
A score at this level reflects the qualities that become immediately apparent once the coffee reaches the cup: impressive aroma, complexity, sweetness, body and overall character.
For customers searching for a premium coffee with genuine speciality credentials, Mama Cata provides something beyond attractive packaging and marketing claims.
The quality is in the cup.
2-Time Great Taste Award Winner
Mama Cata has also received two Great Taste Awards, providing further independent recognition of its exceptional flavour.
Those awards complement its impressive Coffee Review score and reinforce what makes Mama Cata such an important coffee within the PureGusto collection.
For cafes and hospitality operators, these credentials provide a compelling story behind the coffee you serve.
For the person drinking it, they provide reassurance that something genuinely special is waiting inside the bag.
Outstanding as Espresso
Mama Cata's substantial body and developed roast make it particularly impressive through a traditional espresso machine.
Extraction concentrates its baked apple sweetness and spice while the deeper roasted characteristics provide plenty of intensity and structure.
The result is an espresso that feels substantial on the palate without sacrificing the more interesting fruit characteristics of the coffee.
If you enjoy espresso with body, depth and complexity, Mama Cata deserves your attention.
Beautiful Through Milk
Mama Cata has enough character to stand confidently alongside steamed milk.
Its fruit sweetness becomes softer and more rounded, while the warming spice and deeper roast character give cappuccinos and flat whites a satisfyingly rich coffee backbone.
It works beautifully as a:
- Flat White
- Cappuccino
- Cafe Latte
- Cortado
- Macchiato
- Mocha
The substantial body makes it particularly suitable for customers who want to taste the coffee clearly through their milk.
More Than an Espresso Coffee
One of Mama Cata's strengths is its versatility.
Although its roast profile works exceptionally well for espresso, it can also be enjoyed through a bean to cup machine or prepared as a cafetiere.
Different preparation methods reveal different aspects of the coffee.
Espresso emphasises its body and spice, while a longer extraction gives the baked apple and fruit characteristics more room to develop.
Convection Roasted in the UK
An exceptional green coffee requires careful roasting to preserve what made it special in the first place.
Mama Cata is convection roasted here in the UK, using carefully controlled hot air to create an exceptionally even roast.
We take Mama Cata to just before second crack, creating a medium to dark profile that develops greater body, sweetness and depth without simply roasting away the character of the bean.
The objective is not darkness for the sake of intensity.
It is to find the point where fruit, sweetness, spice and roast development come together.
A Premium Coffee for Professional Menus
Mama Cata provides coffee shops, restaurants, hotels and hospitality operators with an opportunity to offer customers something beyond a conventional house blend.
Its Panamanian origin, distinctive flavour profile, two Great Taste Awards and 95/100 Coffee Review score create genuine talking points for a premium coffee menu.
Use it as an elevated house coffee, a premium guest espresso or simply as an exceptional option for customers wanting to explore something different.
It delivers speciality character without becoming inaccessible to the everyday coffee drinker.
