A Chemex kind of morning… Today I’m brewing u A Chemex kind of morning…

Today I’m brewing up pour over coffee with The WestBean Coffee Roasters Ethiopia Konga. 

This coffee has tied for 3rd place in a cupping of desert-island coffees for Coffee Review’s 2020 tasting report. It’s a single origin hailing from Ethiopia. I won’t go in-depth about the tasting notes because I feel that this description doesn’t do this coffee justice. While yes, this roast has some unique notes, it’s more about the finish that grabbed my attention. 

Lately, I’ve noticed some coffees give a peculiar aftertaste that sort of brings my overall rating of the coffee down. But not this one — this roast has a lovely finish that just makes me want to go back for seconds (and sometimes thirds on those long days). 

Brewing recipe below👇

❮Recipe❯⁣
40 grams of coffee to 600 grams of water (1:15 ratio)⁣⁣⁣⁣
- first pour: slowly pour 80 grams of water in a spiral motion. Wait for a 30s - 45s bloom⁣⁣⁣⁣.
- at the 45s mark, gently pour more hot water in small circles over your bed up to 200g.⁣
- continue to pour in up to 200g of water at a time (always in gentle circles) up to your target weight of 600g.
- finish your last pour around the edge of the filter to wash down any lingering grounds.⁣⁣⁣⁣
- enjoy!

What Aspect of Specialty Coffee Brewing Do You Fin What Aspect of Specialty Coffee Brewing Do You Find Most Challenging?

In order to get to the next phase of your coffee brewing journey, it's imperative to know what's standing in your way. 

I've listed a few of the most common reasons home brewers struggle to make good coffee at home along with a few to tips to deal with/solve those issues. 

•Cost $$$ (i.e. equipment and high-quality beans)

Craft coffee brewing doesn't have to be expensive. You can still make great coffee for a relatively low price with inexpensive equipment such as the AeroPress. To keep costs down even further, you can even roast your own beans at home.

•Coffee Jargon (macchiato, café au lait, affogato...why are they all so hard to pronounce?!)

Coffee speak is overwhelming! But don't let it scare you from trying to brew coffee. I have a list of the most common coffee terms here that should help greatly. 

•Consistent Brews (lacking in consistent, quality brews at home. Some days it's a win, others not so much.)

Lastly, it can be VERY difficult to obtain excellent DAILY brews whether you're a seasoned brewer or not (I struggle with this one too!). But I am currently working hard on something that will help you transform your okay brews into consistent quality brews — so stay tuned!  

If you can't relate to any of these, let me know in the comments what is keeping you from brewing good coffee at home. I'd love to know where you're at right now in your coffee brewing journey. 
 
Happy Brewing & Happy Friday✌️

The AeroPress is a coffee brewing instrument inven The AeroPress is a coffee brewing instrument invented by Alan Adler that consists of two nesting cylinders. The coffee is forced through a filter by pressing the plunger through one of its cylinders. The yielded coffee brew is espresso-strength (but not a true espresso). 

Though it looks somewhat complicated, using an AeroPress really is not hard, and it’s worth taking the time to figure out because it produces such a clean cup of coffee (it’s my second favorite brew method next to pour over).  

The AeroPress actually can be used in several different ways to get a number of different coffee beverages. Below you’ll find the most frequently used methods for making coffee using an AeroPress.  

•Basic Method
•Inverted Method
•Pour Over Method 
•Cold Brew Method 

If you have an AeroPress, which is your go-to method? And if you don’t have an AeroPress, what are you waiting for😎

Livin’ La Vida Mocha…Developed this recipe ove Livin’ La Vida Mocha…Developed this recipe over the last few weeks. I tried making this mocha like a hot chocolate and then combining it with espresso, but found that incorporating homemade chocolate ganache (don’t worry, it’s not hard to whip up) was the way to go. Have it iced, warm, vegan, or dairy-full!
