El Gigante Coffee
Legacy & Vision
From our roots in Chiquimula to the global coffee stage
​
​
El Gigante Coffee is more than a farm — it is a legacy nurtured by the Zucchino Barrios family across generations. Our journey goes beyond the harvest. It is a story of passion, precision, and purpose that flows through every layer of our ecosystem:

El Gigante Estate
Where the legacy begins
​
​
Nestled in the highlands of Chiquimula, Guatemala, El Gigante is our family’s heart — a microclimate-blessed sanctuary where rare varieties like Geisha, Pacamara, Bourbon, and Catuai flourish. Here, tradition meets innovation, and excellence begins at the root.

Heritage-grown lots

Women-led community empowerment
​
“We grow not only coffee, but pride, culture, and connection.”
INPROCAF
The engine of precision.
​
​
At the heart of our post-harvest excellence lies Industria Procesadora de Cafés Finos (INPROCAF) — a state-of-the-art dry mill founded by the Suchini Barrios family. Here, meticulously dried coffee cherries and parchment are transformed into export-ready green coffee with unparalleled precision.
​
​
With cutting-edge technology and strict quality control, INPROCAF ensures that every bean meets the highest standards of density, size, and color — delivering traceable, clean, and consistent lots to our global partners.
​
​​
-
Advanced dry milling and classification systems
-
Rigorous sorting by size, weight, and defect
-
Full traceability and transparency from farm to export
​
​
​
INPROCAF also serves as a processing hub for local producers, strengthening the regional value chain and sharing the tools needed to reach the world stage.
​
This is where Guatemalan coffee meets international quality.
