Filter-brew recipes � perfect brewing methods for filter coffee

Brewing methods & recipes for filter coffee

We have taken a closer look at the topic of filter coffee so that you can get started right away.

There are many different brewing methods to make a tasty filter coffee in your cup. It is important that you have a hand grinder or an electric filter grinder, a scale with a timer function and, at best, a kettle where you can set the temperature.

It is important to know that we are only providing you with a guideline in this article; depending on the coffee, you will need to make adjustments.

The most important thing is that you always use filter roasts and not espresso roasts, as these are roasted too dark and quickly make the filter coffee taste bitter.

Grinding: the finer, the longer the brewing time. As with espresso, but here not every second counts.

Brewing time: the longer, the more aromas are released and the coffee is more concentrated. But try to avoid over-extraction.

Brewing ratio: If the coffee is still too watery, you can change the brewing ratio by using more coffee for the same amount of water. Or vice versa, use less coffee to the same amount of water.

Brewing temperature: At higher temperatures, more and easier flavours dissolve, similar to how sugar dissolves faster in hot water than in cold water.

Have fun brewing and experimenting. :-)

V60 Pour Over

It is important to note here that you wet the filter paper before you start the whole brewing process.

Brewingratio: 15g coffee to 250g water
Brewing temperature: 93 - 97°
Brewing time: 2.5 - 6 minutes

When you have prepared everything for the brewing process, the first step is blooming. This is the swelling of the coffee. To do this, pour 3 times the amount of water evenly over the coffee in the dripper. Wait 30 seconds and then pour on 150g. Wait about a minute and then pour on 250g one last time and wait until all the water has run through.

If this whole process takes less than 2.5 minutes, then your grind is too coarse and you need to adjust it finer. If your brewing process has taken 4 minutes, it may taste good or it may already be over-extracted, depending on the coffee. It depends on your taste buds. :-)

Chemex

The procedure here is exactly the same as for the V60 Pour Over. The filter paper for the Chemex is slightly thicker and has a different porosity.

Therefore, the filter coffee from the Chemex tastes somewhat finer and milder, more like tea in terms of the drinking sensation.

It is important to remember not to pour too much at once. Even if you have a large Chemex jug, pour twice for a more even extraction.

Aeropress

Here too, the starting position is the same as with the V60 Pour Over. Insert filter paper, wet, assemble.

Fill the Aeropress with ground coffee and start blooming. The difference here is that the water does not come out the other side straight away. After 30 seconds, add the rest of the water and leave for 2 minutes. Then put the plunger on and press down slowly and evenly.

Attention: Make sure that the flow valve is closed at the bottom before you start brewing!

Brewing ratio: 14g coffee to 220g water
Brewing temperature: 96°
Brewing time: 2 minutes

French Press

The French Press is probably the easiest coffee brewing method ever! The brewing ratio remains the same as with the V60 Pour Over brewing method.

In comparison, you pour in the entire amount of water at once, then stir once and let everything stand for about 4 minutes. If you want you can stir a second time and then press the plunger down or you can press it down without stirring a second time.

FYI: The more you stir, the more flavours are released. Again, you can try a little if you like.

Drip Roasters Ecuador La Papaya

If you are looking for a coffee that will surprise you with every cup, then you will love the Ecuador La Papaya from Drip Roasters. This exceptional microlot from Ecuador is in a league of its own - intensely sweet, complexly fruity and wonderfully clear in the cup. A coffee for explorers, adventurers and anyone who wants to tickle their taste buds. La Papaya is a real flavour spectacle. It combines the sweetness of ripe strawberries with the tangy freshness of citrus fruits and tropical notes such as passion fruit and watermelon. The texture is full-bodied and slightly syrupy, with a hint of fermented wildness - but never overpowering. On the contrary: despite its "funky" character, the cup remains surprisingly clean and balanced. The Mejorado variety used is a genetically exciting hybrid of Bourbon and Ethiopian landraces - known for its floral aromas and lively acidity. This coffee is grown at 1900 to 2100 metres above sea level in the Ecuadorian Andes. The plants there benefit from constantly cool temperatures and volcanic soil - ideal conditions for slow growth and high bean density. This coffee reveals its full complexity particularly well as a filter coffee - whether as a V60, Aeropress or in a batch brewer. If you are keen to experiment, you can also try it as a fruity espresso. The important thing is to give it enough time after the roasting date and work at a slightly lower brewing temperature (approx. 90-92 °C) to bring out the subtle fruity flavours even better. The beans are selected by hand after harvesting and undergo 120 hours of anaerobic fermentation in old oak barrels that once housed Ecuadorian rum for 20 years. Fermentation takes place under strictly controlled conditions - with sensors for temperature and humidity, in dark rooms at below 18 °C. The coffee is then dried until it is ready for consumption. The coffee then dries slowly on covered drying beds for up to 30 days. This careful processing gives La Papaya its depth, structure and special flavour.

Horizonte just had to call this coffee "Genius"! Thanks to Valentina, the owner of Siruma Coffee, they found the beans of the award-winning Café Granja when they were looking for a fruity, natural coffee from Colombia.The coffee cherries are fermented for ten hours at a constant temperature. After pulping, the beans are kept in a silo for 48 hours before being moved to a solar drying environment for 24 to 48 hours. Then it's back to the silo until the beans have reached a moisture content of 11%. This takes around 120 hours.The result is a rich, intense and complex coffee that is one of Café Granja's most sought-after products.
