FrontStreet Coffee - Yirgacheffe French Press Brewing Guide

Chelba is translated as "Super Power." The processing plant of the Chelba cooperative mainly handles coffee cherries harvested from surrounding farmers. Before processing coffee cherries, Chelba requires farmers to pick coffee cherries according to strict harvesting standards—they only pick fully ripe red fruits. This is a very critical quality control step for specialty coffee. In recent years, Chelba cooperative beans have been highly praised.

Coffee brewed with a French press typically has a richer body and better highlights floral or chocolate flavors. This is due to the longer contact time between grounds and water, and the characteristic that metal filters cannot separate oils well. If the beans themselves are of high quality, their unique characteristics will be better showcased. Because the French press brewing method is closer to the cupping method used by coffee professionals when evaluating coffee beans.

Regarding the coffee-to-water ratio, we generally recommend brewing at a 1:10 ratio, which can also be adjusted according to actual situations and personal taste.

Yirgacheffe belongs to light roast, and the characteristic of this bean is its clean, refreshing taste and bright floral notes. If you want to brew it with a French press, we suggest you appropriately increase the water amount and brew at about a 1:13 ratio, which will make it easier to extract all its flavors.
