Coffee roasting - warm light over beans

Connecting Salvadoran coffee farms with U.S. roasters

Better coffee buying starts with the farm.

503 Cafecito connects coffee farms in El Salvador with specialty roasters and coffee shops that roast in the United States. Farms share their upcoming harvest offerings and set the price for their coffee. Buyers get to know the farm by name, choose the variety, process, and quantity that fit their roast program, then commit to purchase before harvest with a down payment that secures their green coffee allocation.

Why how you buy matters

A commitment before harvest can create impact at origin.

A coffee farmer and a 503 Cafecito teammate at the farm

Coffee begins with people: the farm families who care for the trees, the workers who prepare the land, the teams who pick ripe cherries, and the people who process each harvest with care.

When buyers commit to purchase coffee before harvest, farms gain earlier visibility into demand and a down payment tied to an upcoming sale. That earlier confidence can help a farm plan for the season ahead: harvest preparation, labor needs, processing, and reinvestment in the coffee and people behind it.

For buyers, the benefit is equally practical: a clearer connection to the farm, earlier access to upcoming coffee, and more confidence in the coffee they are building into their program.

Better coffee buying can strengthen the path from the farm, to the workers, to the roastery, and ultimately to every cup.

How farm-to-roaster sourcing works

From upcoming harvest to a committed coffee purchase.

503 Cafecito makes the pre-harvest process clearer for both sides. Farms gain a better way to present and sell their coffee. Buyers gain earlier visibility and a more meaningful connection to the coffee they choose.

01

Explore farm-led coffee offerings

Discover upcoming coffee from vetted Salvadoran farms. Browse by farm, variety, process, region, elevation, coffee profile, and estimated availability.

02

Get to know the coffee and the farm

Review the farm profile, growing conditions, processing approach, historical quality information where available, projected harvest timing, and the farm-set price.

03

Commit to purchase before harvest

Choose the pounds you need for your roast program and submit a purchase commitment. A down payment secures your agreed green coffee allocation once the farm confirms availability.

Pre-harvest purchase commitments are for the selected farm, variety, process, coffee profile, and quantity, not a pre-assigned lot. After harvest, the farm fulfills the committed quantity from one or more compatible lots that meet the agreed requirements.

Coordinated from farm to roastery

The farm offers the coffee. The buyer commits. We connect the process.

Every offering on 503 Cafecito is connected to a participating coffee farm in El Salvador. Once a buyer commitment is confirmed, 503 Cafecito supports the workflow that helps move coffee from the upcoming harvest to the buyer's business.
