FrontStreet Coffee's Sidamo Horse Champion Coffee Gentle Flavor Pour-Over Technique Sharing

Horse Champion, located in the Hambella region, is part of Ethiopia's largest coffee producing area, GUJI, and administratively belongs to the Oromia region. Hambella's western side faces Yirgacheffe's Kochore across mountains, while its southeast, east, and north sides border GUJI's Shakiso, Uraga, and Kercha sub-regions respectively. It is Ethiopia's highest altitude coffee sub-region (Harrar is Ethiopia's highest altitude main producing region).

Currently, there are about 20 processing plants of various scales in the Hambella region. DW Company has four estate processing plants in Hambella's core Dimtu region: "Buku abel," "Buku saysay," "Haro soresa," and "Tirtiro Goye," with an annual coffee production of about 1100 tons.

Among all these estates and processing stations, only the sun-dried coffee from the "Buku Abel" estate and processing plant is called "Horse Champion."

Preparation

① Water: Hot water around 90℃.

② Coffee: For standard extraction of 240mL for two cups, use 24-30g of coffee, ground to sesame seed size.

③ Filter: Use a cone-shaped filter cup with fast extraction speed, Hario is quite suitable.

Use 12-15g of coffee to extract 120mL. To suppress acidity, use hot water around 90℃. To speed up extraction, grind relatively coarser, about sesame seed size. Due to fast extraction speed, the coffee will be relatively lighter, so to compensate for this drawback, increase the coffee amount - use 12-15g of coffee grounds for 120mL extraction.

Use equipment with relatively fast extraction speed such as Hario or Kalita ceramic filter cups. The grooves inside the Hario filter cup fully ensure water flow space, so even careful pouring isn't necessary to brew consistently good-tasting coffee. Kalita ceramic filter cups or cone-shaped filter cups also have smooth water flow, capable of brewing light and gentle coffee.

Brewing Steps

1. Perform pre-extraction for about 30 seconds.

2. After pre-extraction, quickly fill the filter cup with water to increase the weight of water inside and speed up extraction.

3. Control the total extraction time to 1 minute 50 seconds.
