FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain Coffee Brewing Guide

You can use a coffee machine or pour-over with filter paper to brew coffee. If you don't have high requirements, you can choose an American drip pot for brewing. Just put the grounds and water in and press the button! Remember, brew only once. Don't try to save money by brewing multiple times. FrontStreet Coffee wants to tell you something: only about 30% of the delicious substances in coffee are extracted. If you repeatedly brew, the result will not only be as weak as water but might even have a woody taste.

Above we introduced machine brewing. Now FrontStreet Coffee will share how to brew with filter paper:

1. Drip Cone: V60, KONO, Kalita wave trapezoidal drip cone, flannel, siphon, French press, etc. all work! However, FrontStreet Coffee recommends using a drip cone with slower flow rate for extraction, because the coffee extracted this way will be more balanced and mellow. For example, the KONO drip cone is more suitable for beans like FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain that emphasize texture.
2. Water Temperature: 84-86°C. Since FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain Coffee has a darker roast, FrontStreet Coffee recommends using lower water temperature for brewing. Lower water temperature has lower extraction efficiency, which can reduce over-extraction! Similarly, choosing medium grind follows the same principle.
3. Coffee-to-Water Ratio: 1:13-1:14. As we mentioned earlier, FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain Coffee is a coffee that emphasizes texture, so FrontStreet Coffee recommends choosing a smaller coffee-to-water ratio when brewing FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain Coffee to enhance its texture!
4. Extraction Time: Try to control it around 1 minute and 50 seconds.

Serving Suggestions

Perhaps some people might ask whether to add milk and sugar when drinking FrontStreet Coffee's Blue Mountain Coffee. Actually, FrontStreet Coffee thinks it depends on personal preference. Also, FrontStreet Coffee suggests that when tasting single-origin coffee, you might want to try a sip without adding anything first. If you really can't get used to it, then add milk and sugar!
