We brewed this coffee many different ways in the roastery and this is our preferred recipe. To get the most out of this recipe, we recommend using a 1/2 packet of Third Wave Water per 1 gallon of distilled water.

In a Nutshell:

• This is a lower density coffee so don't push the extraction.
• Grind coarser for this coffee
• A sweet coffee with light fermentation and subtle citrus, pink lemonade notes.

We brewed this coffee many different ways in the roastery and this is our preferred recipe. To get the most out of this recipe we recommend using 1/2 strength Third Wave water and grinding your coffee fresh.

In a Nutshell:

• Grind coarser than usual for this coffee.
• Brew for a low extraction (ie coarser grind, faster drawdown.
• You should find the cup to be light bodied with a smooth finish. Obvious berry notes (stronger than your average specialty coffee) should be present!

If you find the coffee too weak, try grinding 1 setting finer.

If the coffee seems to be too harsh without obvious fruit notes, move your grind size 1 setting coarser.

Discussion:

• 2-4 weeks off roast is ideal to brew.
• This coffee drains a little faster than average. Don't try to extend brew time.
• When brewed well, this coffee will taste like spiced raspberry.
• Agtron Color of Roast- Whole Bean | 65 | Ground Color |104|

Brew Guide:

• Grind Size: 23 on the Commandante| 5 2/3 on Fellow Ode Gen 2 | 9.6 on EK 43
• Ratio: 19 grams of coffee/305 grams of Third Wave Water (1/2 strength)
• Water Temp 200F (lowered from 205 to slow extraction just a touch because we felt 23 clix was on the edge of being too fine which will make the cup too bitter. 24 clix wasn't sweet enough.

1. Pour to 60 grams in 10 secs. Immediately spin to mix water and coffee.

2. @ 30 secs, pour to 200 grams by :55. Immediately spin the brewer, once, gently.

• Pour from about 5 inches above the top of the V60, or just below the point where the water stream breaks up before it hits the surface.

3. @ 1:25 pour up to 305 grams by 1:40. Spin once, very gently.

• Pour from a normal height (2-3 inches above surface of the water for a smooth less aggressive slurry churn. Too much agitation here could create a bitter, over-extracted coffee.

4. Total brew time (when you can see the coffee bed) should be between 2:25-2:40

• Extraction Percentage | 20.2%
• TDS | 1.38%

*If you find that your coffee is too sharp and acidic up front, try grinding finer. If your coffee dries your tongue out and lacks flavor, try grinding coarser.

Discussion:

• 2-4 weeks off roast is ideal to brew.
• This is a bit of a slower draining coffee that will get dull and bitter if you don't force the coffee through pretty quickly.
• When brewed well, this coffee will have a nice clementine acidity. The finish is a little less syrupy than last years harvest but still solid.
• The brew can stall if you use too much agitation.
