With global warming (and other factors) affecting coffee production and prices, I’ve noticed a couple of interesting patterns in marketing strategies for household and white label brands....
I'm doing a blend of Kona from a local store and whole food Kenya. It's a 70/30 of Kenya to Kona and taste great. The Kona alone I got taste and looks like really dark soil after a brew, so I picked a lite roast to see how it would go and I'm happy....
Yeah, I'm not sure I want to get another bag for a while. It tastes like I'm drinking burnt dirt runoff lol I think my garden likes it however. It's fine, I'm mixing it in and making something that tastes good.
I use the winning recipe from the world championship, from the second one (2009). You like brew the coffee for 15 seconds and then done. I only use 14g max, but it's basically instant coffee that tastes like great coffee.
I've used it on decaf medium roast, Kona, and my current Kona blend and it works great, but I needed to adjust the amount of coffee as it can brew pretty strong for my tastes. I go between 14g and 12g of coffee and use a grind size equal to that I use on the V60, which is 26/27 on my Encore ESP.
I use water that's 175 F, which is close enough. I also put in more water... I have the plunger pulled all the way below the number 4 and pour water all the way to just before the top to leave a small space to stir without making a mess. I think it's like 225 or so ml. I use a chopstick to stir.
I also see a few other second places ones that are only a few steps. For me the aeropress recipe needs to be like 4 steps and take under a minute.
I've been thinking about this some more and I suspect when you change over to metal filter your brew may be a lot closer to the French press. Let us know! I'm still rocking the paper filters.
Nice. Yeah Kona is nice once a year. Lol too pricey to be all the time. I'm exploring the beans available at my local food stores for now after trying a few other mail order options.
Yeah, Wish is an odd movie to watch. It's not too clear why this movie even exists except to promote the 100 years for Disney which doesn't really happen till the credits roll. Maybe they thought if we didn't understand a reference made in the film we would be motivated to watch other Disney content ?
