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.

Rast Coffee Gesha Washed, Panama

Immerse yourself in the world of premium coffees: with Gesha washed from Rast Kaffee, you will experience a rarity that is one of Panama's best speciality coffees. This single origin from Santa Clara shows how balanced elegance and complex flavours come together in perfect harmony. Gesha washed impresses with its fine but clearly noticeable acidity, which gives it a lively freshness. Citrus and black tea unfold on the nose, while bergamot, jasmine, honey and apple come together in a harmonious interplay on the palate. The result is an exceptional coffee that combines complexity with clarity and will delight you sip after sip. This Gesha is best enjoyed as a filter coffee, where its floral and fruity notes can unfold their full radiance. It also impresses as a café crème with its fine structure. It is less suitable for espresso, as its bright, complex flavour comes out more clearly in filter preparation. Gesha comes from the traditional Finca Hartmann in Santa Clara, which has been one of Panama's most renowned producers for almost 100 years. Today, siblings Maria and Plinio Ruiz run the family business Casa Ruiz with passion and respect for nature. The growing area lies between 1,300 and 2,000 metres above sea level, surrounded by forest reserves at the Parque Internacional La Amistad. The Hartmann family favours sustainable shade cultivation under native rainforest trees, thus maintaining a closed cycle that preserves biodiversity. This Gesha is a SHB quality (Strictly Hard Bean) and is processed in the Chiriquí region. The washed method emphasises its clear structure and lively acidity. Directly traded (Label Direct Trade), it stands for maximum transparency and quality. The harvest period is between December and April, with only the ripest cherries being picked by hand. A coffee for special moments - exclusive, full of character and of sustainable origin.
