FrontStreet Coffee's Brewing Recommendations

How to Brew Brazilian Natural Cerrado Coffee

FrontStreet Coffee's pour-over reference: Weigh 15g of Natural Cerrado coffee grounds, pour into a grinder for medium grinding. The grounds 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 of approximately 1:14.

Pour hot water from the pour-over kettle in clockwise circles centered on the middle of the dripper. Start timing when brewing begins, and pour to 30g within 15 seconds, then stop pouring. When the time reaches 1 minute, begin the second pour. For the second pour, similar to the first, pour in clockwise circles centered on the middle of the dripper. Avoid pouring water on the area where coffee grounds meet the filter paper to prevent channeling effect.

Leave one circle of space when pouring to the outermost ring of coffee grounds, then continue pouring in circles toward the center. By 2 minutes and 10 seconds, pour to 210g total, completing the coffee brewing.

Japanese-Style Ice Pour-Over: Natural Cerrado

FrontStreet Coffee's ice pour-over reference for Natural Cerrado:

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

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

Bloom with 40g water for 30 seconds.

Segmented pouring: first segment 60g water, second segment 40g water. Use a relatively thin but tall water stream, stirring forcefully to ensure the coffee grounds roll fully. However, be careful not to let the water level get too high or pour on 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).
