One farm. One chef. 19 kilos.

Every year, Daterra Coffee Farm opens its Masterpiece Auction — the rarest micro-lots from the Brazilian estate, bid on by the world’s best specialty roasters.

This year, a 19-kilo nano-lot called Xodó — Brazilian for “darling” — went to Difference Coffee.

We took it somewhere no auction lot has gone before: the kitchen of Rafael Cagali, whose two-Michelin-starred Da Terra shares more than a name with the farm. Both mean “of the earth.” Both are Brazilian. Both obsess over provenance.

Together, we created a Restaurant Edition — a coffee profiled with the chef, for the chef’s own tables. From 2 July, Xodó is served exclusively at Da Terra, with a small allocation at differencecoffee.com

Tomorrow, everything comes together.

The official release of Restaurant Edition: Da Terra, a coffee we’ve been quietly excited about for months.

This one is different. For the first time, we shared the entire process with 2-star chef Rafael Cagali, from the moment we opened the auction Lot bag, through roasting, cupping, quality control, roast profiling, and final profile selection. Every decision, made together.

It’s the first time we’ve fully collaborated with a chef across the whole roast process, and the result is something we can’t wait for you to taste.

Exclusively served at Da Terra Restaurant. Available now through pre-sale in strictly limited quantities via our online shop.

A closer look.

Behind the Restaurant Edition: the Xodó lot from Daterra’s Masterpiece Auction — the highest-scoring, smallest lot of them all. Just 19kg produced.

Every bean carries a story. We can’t wait to share it.

Launching 2 July at Da Terra.

There are some places you almost want to keep to yourself. CORD Restaurant is one of them.

From Le Cordon Bleu — training chefs since 1895 — it’s a kitchen with serious roots, earning its reputation daily.

As Executive Chef Karl O’Dell says:
“Coffee is one of the few things I don’t overthink. I just know when it’s right.”

We’ve partnered with CORD on something special. Comment “CORD” to join our mailing list and be the first to hear.

Not something I ever take for granted.

At the Monde Selection Awards 2026, our coffees received 6 Grand Gold and 1 Gold awards.

When I started Difference Coffee, the ambition was simple: to bring truly exceptional, single estate coffees into a format that didn’t compromise them.

These awards don’t change what we do.
They simply affirm it.

Thank you to everyone who continues to trust us with their daily ritual.

Happy Birthday to Aktar Islam.

For someone operating at the highest level—leading a two Michelin-starred kitchen at Opheem and appearing on Great British Menu and Masterchef—you might expect time to be his rarest commodity.

Yet he chose to spend it travelling to Daterra Estate, learning coffee at its origin.

And, before leaving, planting a tree—marking the visit in a way that lasts.

Wishing you a wonderful birthday, Aktar.

This brand sent me a gold cup… for a coffee pod.

And I’ll be honest… I don’t like coffee pods. Most of them taste awful.

But claims they’ve figured it out using premium beans like Jamaica Blue Mountain and Kona… so I had to test it.

Even the packaging feels like it should hold jewelry.
The crema looked solid… but taste is everything.
And yeah… I didn’t expect this.

So I compared it to a shot pulled from my $2,000 espresso machine using Kona beans.
Now I’m a little upset. How did the pod almost taste better?
I never recommend pods… but this might be the first one I can actually get behind.

This is the first coffee pod I’d actually recommend.

Save this if you’ve been looking for a better at home espresso option. Follow for more honest coffee reviews.

We built this differently — single estate, no blends, no shortcuts.

Thank you for believing in Difference.
This belongs to everyone who chooses better coffee.
