MAKAI Decaf Coffee - Lifetime Canister

MAKAI SWISS WATER Decaf Coffee

Roasted in-house by Surface Coffee Roasters

How the Lifetime Canister Works

When your Lifetime Canister arrives, it will be made from durable stainless steel with an airtight seal and a breathable valve. Please keep all the components safe.

Your canister is yours for life. Find it a home in your kitchen, take it on your travels and when it gets low, order yourself a refill pouch. 

Our Refill Pouches

Our refill pouches are made from 100% recycled paper and can be composted or recycled at home.

Unlike most coffee bags labelled as "recyclable", ours really is. Most coffee packaging is made from mixed materials that can only be recycled at specialist collection points or supermarket drop-off bins. The reality is that most of those bags never make it there.

So, here's our solution: a truly sustainable refill.

Simply open the bag, refill your canisters, then place the empty pouch in your paper recycling or home compost bin. Simple, sustainable, and better for the planet.

Here's the best part.

We never leave coffee sitting in paper pouches for days or weeks. Every refill is packed to order, with coffee spending no more than 24 hours in the pouch before it's on its way to you. That means maximum freshness, exceptional flavour, and coffee that's as fresh as it should be every single time.

Chiapas is situated in the southern reaches of Mexico, with rich biodiversity and climbing altitudes – this region is known for its healthy soils and ideal climates for coffee production. As one of the five Mayan States in Mexico, Chiapas has a wealth of archaeological and cultural history. It is within this region that the Grupo de Agricultores Positivos S.P.R. (GRAPOS) was founded in 2007.

Throughout the Chiapas region, specifically in the El Porvenir and Llano Grande municipalities, are collections of smallholder coffee producers growing coffee in the rich upper reaches of the mountains. The GRAPOS organization was initially comprised of 90 producers, growing to 300 the following year, and expanded to the 2,708 producers involved today, 772 of which are females.

El Porvenir translates to mean ‘the future,’ which is evident in its high altitudes, rich biodiversity, and potential to create a harmonious future with high quality coffee production and ecosystem preservation. The area also borders the Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, which explains the biodiverse array of native flora and fauna in the area.

GRAPOS seeks to provide each of these producers with the necessary guidance to produce high-quality coffee. This comes in the form of technical assistance, free seedlings to replace damaged trees, in addition to other educational programs.

There are 8 collection centres throughout the area to make it easier for producers to deliver their cherries to the mill located in Angel Díaz, Honduras, Llano Grande, Porvenir, Vega del Rosario, Tapachula, Guatimoc, and Chicomuselo. The producers live in remote farms, making communication and travel quite difficult – so GRAPOS provides the necessary assistance to the producers, making it easier to deliver and sell cherries. Thanks to the organization’s involvement, these producers have seen an increase in yields and quality, thus leading to an increase in overall income. This then allows more funds to be invested in the farms and creates a future for coffee production in this region.
