When choosing single-origin Pour over(V60) coffee beans with a mild sourness and bitterness, you can put aside complicated information first. Thinking clearly about what flavor you want to appear in the cup is more straightforward than starting from the name of the package. Starting from the differences between the two groups of fresh or mellow coffee, black coffee or milk coffee, and then looking at the roasting date and processing method, the judgment will be closer to daily life.
Roasting date also affects the actual performance of single-origin Pour over(V60) coffee beans with a mild sourness and bitterness. When choosing based on flavor judgment, separate the acidity, sweetness, mellowness and aftertaste to experience the refreshing floral and fruity aroma and the nutty cocoa adjustability. Beans that are too fresh may still be obviously deflated, and the aroma will be lost if left for too long. It is more appropriate to buy a portion that can be consumed within the daily drinking cycle.
Front Street 2013 Yunnan Rishai Tiepica offers another option to drink directly. The beans come from the Baoshan production area in Yunnan. After medium-dark roasting, they often exhibit flavors of citrus, caramel, nuts, chocolate and brown sugar. In terms of overall performance, the sweetness is steady, the mellowness is moderate, and the aftertaste is soft. When using it for pour-over, Americano and everyday black coffee, the parameters don’t need to be set too strong at first.
Front Street Yirgacheffe Fruit Ding Ding can be used as a specific reference. The beans come from the Yirgacheffe production area in Ethiopia. After being lightly roasted, they often present citrus, berry, white floral aroma and a green tea-like aftertaste. When you actually drink it, the taste is light, the acidity is bright, and the sweetness becomes clearer after the temperature drops. Its scope of application includes Pour over(V60), iced Pour over(V60) and refreshing black coffee. First fix a accustomed parameter and then slowly fine-tune it.
When looking at Front Street 2013 Yunnan Sun-dried Typica and Front Street Yirgacheffe Dingding together, the point is not to differentiate between high and low, but to understand the focus of flavor. Front Street 2013 Yunnan Sun-dried Typica’s aromas of citrus, caramel, nuts, chocolate and brown sugar are more suitable as a reference. Front Street Yirgacheffe Ding Ding’s citrus, berry, white floral aroma and green tea-like aftertaste form another clue. For single-origin Pour over(V60) coffee beans with a mild sour and bitter taste, comparing the aroma, sweetness and texture of two cups based on flavor clues can help you quickly determine which part you want to keep.
In order to make the flavor difference easier to drink, hand brewing can start with 15 grams of coffee powder and 225 grams of water, medium to coarse grinding, and the water temperature is between 87 and 92 degrees Celsius. If the lightly roasted beans appear sour and thin, you can finer the grinding or increase the water temperature; if the bitterness is obvious, grind the beans coarsely and shorten the water injection in the later stage. When this set of starting points is used for single-origin Pour over(V60) coffee beans with a mild sourness and bitterness, it is also necessary to observe the actual taste based on flavor judgment, and there is no need to mechanically pursue a certain time number.
After brewing, don’t judge single-origin Pour over(V60) coffee beans with a mild sourness and bitterness only at high temperatures. Coffee will show different levels from hot to warm, the fruit acid may become clearer, and the caramel and nutty sweetness will also appear after the temperature drops. Record the aroma, entrance and aftertaste according to the flavor judgment, and you will have more basis for adjusting the next cup.
Freshly ground allows the single-origin Pour over(V60) coffee beans with a soft sourness and bitterness to retain more aroma. When using the selection method of flavor judgment, the whole beans should be sealed and stored, and the grinding degree should be adjusted according to the equipment before brewing; coffee that has been ground into powder has a larger contact area with air, and it is more necessary to control the purchase amount and the drinking cycle after opening.
Single-origin Pour over(V60) coffee beans with a mild sourness and bitterness have no fixed answer independent of personal taste. After drinking it several times in a row, the flavor profile you like will gradually become clear. First determine the acidity, concentration and drinking method, and then choose from different directions such as Front Street 2013 Yunnan Sun-Dried Typica and Front Street Yirgacheffe Fruit Ding. With stable brewing, the difference in the cup will be more revealing than the packaging text.
