Brewing Espresso & Filter: Recipes for the Perfect Cup
Brewing Espresso & Filter: Recipes for the Perfect Cup
We have divided our coffees into two roasting categories: espresso and filter. The espresso roast is medium to dark, while the filter roast is medium to light - depending on the specific coffee profile. This classification is for convenience only, as you can brew an espresso roast using a filter or pour-over method, and vice versa.
To fully enjoy the flavors and aromas of our coffees, water temperature plays a crucial role. We recommend using the following guidelines:
For pour-over:
•Water temperature: 93-95°C (200-203°F)
•Brew ratio: 1:15 to 1:18 (1 gram of coffee to 15/18 grams of water)
•Grind size: medium-fine to coarse, depending on your brewing method
For espresso extraction:
•Water temperature: 89-91°C (192-196°F)
•Brew ratio: 1:2 to 1:2.5
•Extraction time: 28-33 seconds for a double shot using 20 grams of fine ground coffee
*Please keep in mind that all ratios are 1 gram of coffee to 'x' grams of water.
As with many things in life, there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to coffee. Feel free to experiment with these suggestions to discover what best suits your taste.
Enjoy!😋
Pure coffee flavor, no caffeine.
What is the Swiss Water Decaf Process?
The Swiss Water Decaf Process is a natural and chemical-free method of decaffeinating coffee beans, developed in Switzerland in 1933 and popularized in Canada since the 1980s. It uses water, temperature, and time to remove caffeine while preserving the flavor compounds.
Swiss Water Decaf Coffee FAQ
Key Steps in the Swiss Water Decaf Process:
- Soaking the Beans in Water:Green coffee beans are cleaned, then pre-soaked to expand the beans.
- Filtering the Caffeine:The water, now containing both caffeine and flavor components, is passed through activated carbon filters, which trap the caffeine molecules but allow the flavor compounds to remain in the water. This water is now called **Green Coffee Extract (GCE)**.
- Using GCE for Decaffeination:A fresh batch of coffee beans is soaked in the GCE. Since the extract already contains the coffee's flavor components, only the caffeine is drawn out without losing the flavor, ensuring the beans retain their natural taste.
- Repetition and Monitoring:The process is repeated for 8-10 hours until 99.9% of the caffeine is removed. The caffeine-free beans are then dried and ready for roasting.
Advantages of Swiss Water Decaf:- Chemical-Free: Unlike other decaffeination methods that use solvents like methylene chloride or ethyl acetate, the Swiss Water Process relies solely on water and filtration.
Preservation of Flavor: It ensures the coffee maintains its original taste, making it a popular choice for decaf coffee lovers who still want the full coffee experience.
Environmentally Friendly: It's a sustainable method, using clean water and no harmful chemicals.
This process is commonly associated with high-quality, specialty decaffeinated coffees.
