Brewing Recommendations

FrontStreet Coffee's Pour-Over Parameters

How to brew Brazil Bahia Estate coffee properly?

FrontStreet Coffee's pour-over reference: Weigh 15g of Brazil Bahia Estate coffee beans, grind to medium consistency (slightly coarser than table salt) using a BG grinder setting 6A (50% standard sieve pass rate). Use water at 88°C with a Kono/Kalita dripper. Recommended coffee-to-water ratio is approximately 1:14.

Pour hot water from the pour-over kettle in clockwise circles, starting from the center of the dripper. Begin timing when you start pouring. Within 15 seconds, pour to reach 30g, then stop pouring. When the timer reaches 1 minute, begin the second pour. Like the first pour, pour in clockwise circles from the center, avoiding the area where coffee grounds meet the filter paper to prevent channeling effects.

Leave a small gap at the outer edge of the coffee grounds, then continue pouring in circles toward the center. At 2 minutes and 10 seconds, you should have reached 210g total. The brewing process is now complete.

Japanese-Style Ice Pour-Over: Brazil Bahia Estate

FrontStreet Coffee's ice pour-over reference for Brazil Bahia Estate:

Brazil Bahia Estate coffee, 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 grind setting is 3.5 on the Fuji grinder, but for ice pour-over, use a slightly finer setting of 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 to stir and agitate thoroughly, ensuring the coffee grounds roll completely. However, be careful not to let the liquid level rise 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).
