Recommended Reason: Aida is the fifth-generation successor of Salvadoran Bourbon coffee. The estates under her management have won multiple COE awards, and the diversity and stability of flavors serve as the best testament to their quality.

El Salvador, located in northwestern Central America and bordering the Pacific Ocean to the south, is one of the birthplaces of ancient Mayan civilization. Its nearby volcanoes, plateaus, lakes, and coastal beach resorts along the Pacific all offer pleasant scenery. However, what makes El Salvador world-renowned is its unique, mild-flavored coffee.

Those familiar with Salvadoran coffee must have heard of a coffee from Finca Kilimanjaro, which achieved outstanding results by winning first place in the Cup of Excellence in 2003. It also set a historical record for Salvadoran coffee trading prices at $14.06 per pound, when the local price in El Salvador was less than $1 per pound at that time. The person who owns this magical land of Finca Kilimanjaro is the woman behind Salvadoran specialty coffee—Aida Batlle.

Aida Batlle is the successor of Salvadoran Bourbon coffee, with the Batlle family's coffee estates reaching their fifth generation through Aida. Besides Finca Kilimanjaro, her estates also include Finca Los Alpes, Finca Mauritania, and Finca Tanzania, among which Finca Los Alpes also achieved 16th place in the 2003 Cup of Excellence.

Central American coffees often have rich flavors full of chocolate notes, but the coffees produced by Batlle's estates possess the rich sweetness expected by judges, as well as what professionals describe as "brightness"—fruit-related acidity.

How to Brew Salvadoran Coffee [AIDA Dream Estate Bourbon] Perfectly?

FrontStreet Coffee's Pour-Over Reference: Weigh 15g of [AIDA Dream Estate Bourbon] coffee grounds, pour into a grinder for medium grinding. The particles should be slightly coarser than table salt—we use BG grinder setting 5R (standard sieve pass rate 60%), water temperature at 89°C, and extract with a V60 dripper.

Pour hot water from the gooseneck kettle in clockwise circles centered on the middle of the dripper, starting the timer when brewing begins. Brew the coffee to 30g in 15 seconds, then stop pouring. When the time reaches 1 minute, begin the second pour. During the second pour, as before, pour in clockwise circles centered on the middle of the dripper. Avoid pouring water where the coffee grounds meet the filter paper to prevent channeling effect.

When brewing the outermost circle of coffee grounds, leave a small gap, then continue brewing circle by circle toward the center. At 2 minutes and 20 seconds, the coffee should be brewed to 220g. The brewing process is complete.

Japanese-Style Iced Pour-Over [AIDA Dream Estate Bourbon]

FrontStreet Coffee's Iced Pour-Over [AIDA Dream Estate Bourbon] Reference:

Salvadoran Coffee [AIDA Dream Estate Bourbon], medium roast, BG grinder setting 5M (standard sieve pass rate 67%)

20g coffee grounds, 150g ice cubes, 150g hot water. Water temperature should be 1°C higher than the normal pour-over recommendation of 90°C. Normal grinding uses Fuji 3.5 setting, while iced pour-over requires slightly finer grinding—Fuji 3 setting.

Bloom with 40g water for 30 seconds.

Pour in stages: first segment with 60g water, second segment with 40g water. Use a relatively thin but high water column for pouring, applying force to stir and impact, allowing the coffee grounds to roll fully. However, be careful not to let the liquid level get too high or touch the edge filter paper.

The entire extraction time should be approximately 2.5 minutes (similar to the normal extraction time for 20g of coffee grounds).
