Are You Really Drinking Mandheling Coffee? Avoid These Traps:

1. The largest coffee cultivation in Indonesia is still low-quality Robusta (mainly used for making instant coffee with poor flavor; therefore not in the specialty coffee discussion category), while Arabica coffee beans only account for 10% of annual production. Poor or unprofessional coffee operators will use Indonesian Robusta to impersonate Mandheling.

Ateng

Is a hybrid variety between Arabica and Robusta, with several subtypes, widely planted in Sumatra and other Indonesian islands. To put it bluntly, it's a branch of Catimor, and Ateng is the local name.

2. Product names with the word "flavor": such as Mandheling "flavor", Mandheling & Brazil "flavor", etc.; in fact, there is not a single Mandheling coffee bean in the ingredients.

V60 Pour-Over Mandheling Coffee

Dripper: Hario V60

Water Temperature: 88 degrees

Grind Size: Fuji grinder setting 4

Brewing Method: Water-to-coffee ratio 1:15, 15g coffee grounds. First pour 25g water for 25s bloom. Second pour to 120g water, wait until the water level in the coffee bed drops to half before pouring again. Slowly pour until reaching 225g water, extraction time around 2:00

Analysis: Using three-stage brewing to distinguish the flavors of the front, middle, and back sections of the coffee. Because the V60 has many ribs and drains faster, stopping the water flow can extend the extraction time, better extracting the nutty and chocolate flavors from the tail section.

Flavor: Multi-layered, overall clean, relatively thin mouthfeel, persistent caramel sweetness in the aftertaste, with a slight bitterness.
