How to Brew Blue Mountain Coffee An Introduction to the Variety Characteristics of Blue Mountain Coffee
FrontStreet Coffee - Blue Mountain Coffee Brewing Tutorial
Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee is a Typica variety known for its limited quantity and exceptional quality. This variety represents one of the finest Arabica species. The harvest period runs from June to November each year, utilizing hand-picking to ensure absolute maturity of coffee cherries. After harvesting, the beans undergo sequential processes including washing, pulping, fermentation, dehydration, sun-drying, hulling, and roasting to produce premium Blue Mountain coffee quality. Throughout the green bean processing, each step is supervised by dedicated quality control personnel. For the precious Blue Mountain coffee, Jamaica's government employs distinctive packaging and transportation methods.
Unlike other coffees packaged in 60kg burlap bags, Blue Mountain coffee is packaged and transported in wooden barrels with a standard of 70kg per barrel. Jamaica is also the last country still using traditional wooden barrels for coffee packaging and transportation. Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans must receive quality certification from the Jamaican Coffee Industry Board, which is the only institution authorized to issue such certificates in Jamaica. Furthermore, each export batch is sampled, roasted, ground, and brewed by specialized quality supervision experts to determine whether it meets the standards.
Daily Brewing Filter Options
V60 dripper, Kalita wave, and KONO are all suitable choices.
KONO Parameters
15g of coffee grounds, water temperature 87-88°C, BG-6W grinder setting, water-to-coffee ratio approximately 1:15, total time around 1:50 (grind size similar to Taikoo sugar crystals, BG-6W setting)
Brewing Technique
Use 16g of coffee grounds, 30g of water for blooming, bloom time 30s. First pour to 120g then stop; use vertical water flow, small water flow with slow circular motion. Second pour to 225g, water flow and circular motion speed slightly faster to reduce fine particles blocking the filter, which could cause over-extraction.

Brewing Technique
First bloom with 30g water for 30s. Pour water close to the coffee bed surface, first pour to 120g then stop. When the water level drops to 1/3-1/2, perform the second pour to 234g and stop. Control brewing time around 2 minutes and 00 seconds.
