When the third wave of specialty coffee blossomed across China, one particular coffee emerged to become a favorite item among women, following lipstick, high heels, bags, and desserts—Yirgacheffe.

Ethiopian coffee offers incredibly diverse flavors, ranging from citrus and floral notes to candied fruits and even tropical fruit aromas. The best washed Yirgacheffe coffee may exhibit elegant floral aromas and sweet citrus notes, while the best natural-processed Yirgacheffe coffee presents bold fruit flavors and captivating spice-like aromas.

Candied Fruits Ethiopia Kochere Natural Process

M2M's new season beans are quite feminine in character. The dry fragrance is particularly prominent—very aromatic with an especially sweet aroma that perfectly aligns with the "Candied Fruits" profile. In the wet fragrance, there's a very noticeable creamy aroma. The mouthfeel is excellent, with a period of strawberry acidity. Although the aftertaste is quite average, that sweet sensation is very gentle and comfortable—definitely good beans.

How to Brew Yirgacheffe Coffee "Candied Fruits" Perfectly?

FrontStreet Coffee hand-pour reference: Weigh 15g of coffee beans, grind them to medium fineness—the particles should be slightly coarser than table salt. We use a BG grinder setting of 5R (60% standard sieve pass rate), water temperature of 90°C, and brew with a V60 dripper.

Pour hot water from the gooseneck kettle in clockwise circles centered on the middle of the filter. Start timing when brewing begins. Within 15 seconds, brew to 30g, then stop pouring. When the time reaches 1 minute, begin the second pour. For the second pour, pour in clockwise circles centered on the filter middle as before, ensuring the water stream doesn't hit where the coffee grounds meet the filter paper to avoid channeling effects.

When pouring the coffee grounds, leave one circle at the outermost edge, then pour circle by circle toward the center. At 2 minutes and 20 seconds, the brew should reach 220g—brewing complete.

Japanese-Style Iced Hand-Pour "Candied Fruits"

FrontStreet Coffee iced hand-pour "Candied Fruits" reference:

Yirgacheffe coffee "Candied Fruits," light-medium roast, BG grinder setting 5M (67% standard sieve pass rate)

20g coffee grounds, 150g ice cubes, 150g hot water. Water temperature should be 1°C higher than the normal 91°C recommended for hand-pour. Normal grinding uses Fuji 3.5 setting, while iced hand-pour requires slightly finer—Fuji setting 3.

Bloom with 40g water for 30 seconds.

Segmented pouring: first segment 60g water, second segment 40g water. Use a relatively thin but tall water column, stirring forcefully to ensure the coffee grounds roll fully. However, be careful not to let the liquid level get too high and avoid hitting the filter paper at the edges.

The total extraction time is approximately 2.5 minutes (similar to the normal extraction time for 20g of coffee grounds).
