The Importance of Yemen Coffee Ground Layer

The condition of the Yemen coffee ground layer in pour-over brewing cannot be overlooked—this must be emphasized! The ground layer plays a subtle role, one of which is providing resistance, allowing hot water to remain in the filter cup long enough to ensure sufficient extraction of flavor components.

Brewing Technique Essentials

Yemen coffee medium-roast grounds must also have certain structural support to perform their "blocking" function effectively. To prevent weakening of the ground layer's support, you must master the [water flow intensity], [pouring position], and [stable circular pouring technique]—only then do you have a complete set of [pouring skills].

FrontStreet Coffee's Yemen Coffee Recommended Method

15g of coffee grounds, Fuji grinder setting 4, V60 filter cup, 88-89°C water temperature. First pour 30g of water for 25s bloom, then pour to 104g and pause. Wait until the water level in the coffee bed drops to half, then continue pouring slowly until reaching 220g. Discard the last 5g. Water-to-coffee ratio 1:15, extraction time approximately 2:00 (counting from the completion of bloom pour).
