FrontStreet Coffee's Brewing Parameter Recommendations

How to Brew Brazilian Coffee【Cerrado Bourbon】Perfectly?

FrontStreet Coffee's pour-over reference: Weigh 15g of 【Cerrado Bourbon】coffee grounds, pour into a grinder for medium grinding. The ground particles should be slightly coarser than table salt. We use BG grinder setting 6A (50% standard sieve pass rate), water temperature 88°C, extraction with Kono/Kalita dripper, recommended coffee-to-water ratio around 1:14.

Pour hot water from the gooseneck kettle in clockwise circles centered on the middle of the dripper. Start timing when you begin pouring. Within 15 seconds, brew the coffee to 30g, then stop pouring. When the time reaches 1 minute, begin the second pour. The second pour should be the same as before - clockwise circles centered on the middle of the dripper. Avoid pouring water where the coffee grounds meet the filter paper to prevent channel effects.

Leave a circle of space when pouring to the outermost edge of the coffee grounds, then pour in circles toward the center. At 2 minutes and 10 seconds, the coffee should reach 210g, completing the brewing process.

Japanese-Style Ice Pour-Over【Cerrado Bourbon】

FrontStreet Coffee's ice pour-over【Cerrado Bourbon】reference:

Brazilian coffee【Cerrado Bourbon】, medium-dark roast, BG grinder setting 5R (60% standard sieve pass rate).

20g coffee grounds, 150g ice cubes, 150g hot water. Water temperature should be 1°C higher than the normal pour-over recommendation of 88°C. Normal grinding uses small Fuji setting 3.5, while ice pour-over uses slightly finer - small Fuji setting 3. Recommended coffee-to-(water+ice) ratio is 1:15.

Bloom with 40g water for 30 seconds.

Segmented pouring - first segment with 60g water, second segment with 40g water. Use a fine but high water column, stirring forcefully to ensure the coffee grounds tumble completely. 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).
