Coffee is an exotic product, and everyone has different purposes for drinking coffee. Some people enjoy the petty bourgeoisie life, some rely on caffeine, and some people like the taste of coffee. Let’s take a look at Front Street, which coffee is a must-drink for those who know coffee.
Hand-brewed coffee is undoubtedly the most popular coffee making method in the world today. Simple coffee utensils and simple brewing methods can filter out a cup of sweet coffee. Especially now that light-roasted coffee is in the spotlight, hand brewing is the most suitable method for making coffee.
Equipment for Pour over(V60) coffee: Pour over(V60) coffee pot, filter cup, filter paper, sharing pot, grinder, thermometer, electronic scale. According to statistics from Front Street, the entry-level configuration only costs about 1,500 yuan, and you can enjoy delicious coffee, which is the most popular way for people who know coffee.
Of course, people who know coffee are very particular about coffee beans. The coffee beans used for hand brewing are basically single-origin coffee beans, which are of high quality. Front Street recommends several popular coffee beans for your reference.
A. Front Street Yirgacheffe coffee beans
Front Street Yirgacheffe coffee beans are the first beans for many friends. Many of the friends I met on Front Street got started through Front Street Yirgacheffe. Yirgacheffe is a very famous coffee-producing region in Ethiopia. The flavor of the coffee beans produced here shows white floral aroma, citrus acidity, and green tea aftertaste. Many people commented on it, "I didn't expect coffee to taste like this. It's really eye-opening!"
In the Front Street Bean List, there are three very representative Yirgacheffe coffee beans, namely Front Street Yirgacheffe Red Cherry, Front Street Yirgacheffe Fruit Tintin, and Front Street Washed Yirgacheffe. Front Street red cherry coffee beans are G1 grade coffee that has been sun-dried. It tastes very sweet, has a berry flavor, and is rich in layers. Front Street Yirgacheffe Guo Ding Ding is a high-quality washed Yirgacheffe coffee bean produced by Guo Dingding Cooperative. It is very clean, has bright citrus acidity, and exudes a light floral fragrance. The most important thing is that you can feel the sweetness of honey.
There is also Front Street washed Yirgacheffe coffee beans. This coffee bean is G2 grade. Although the grade is not as good as the previous two, the price is really good. It only sells for 25 yuan per pack in Front Street. If you are familiar with Ethiopia’s green bean grading system, you will know that Ethiopian grades are based on defects. In terms of the number of defects, G1 cannot exceed 3 beans in 300g of green beans, while G2 cannot exceed 12 beans in 300g of green beans. During the baking stage, the roasting master will remove defective beans before and after baking, so the difference between G1 and G2 will not be very big.
B. Front Street Jade Manor Gesha Coffee Beans
Gesha coffee beans are now very famous, and the most authentic and delicious Front Street Gesha coffee beans come from the Emerald Estate in Panama. Why do I say this? It is not that Jade Manor is the origin of Geisha, but that the "bo Le" of Jade Manor fell in love with Geisha, the "thousand-mile horse".
Gesha coffee beans were sampled in 1931 by plant experts from the Gesha Mountains in Ethiopia. After traveling to Kenya, Tanzania, and Costa Rica, it finally arrived in Panama. After the Emerald Estate was treated separately, Geisha won the BOP championship in 2004.
The Gesha product line in Jade Manor is divided into red label and green label. The official name of the red label is "Esmeralda Special", which is translated into Chinese as "Esmeralda Special". To put it simply, the Jade Special Series is the highest quality Geisha coffee beans sold by Jade Manor. They are grown in detailed plots at an altitude of 1600-1800 meters. The cupping test of each batch must exceed 90 points. Usually this series will come from the two sub-manors of Jaramillo and Canas Verdes (Veil Manor has also produced a red label series, but this manor plot is mainly used to explore the feasibility of commercialization, and many coffee varieties are planted). The best Gesha in Emerald Manor.
The official name of Green Label is "Private Collection", which is translated into Chinese as "Private Collection". Do not understand this bean in Chinese terms, it is just the name of a product series. According to Jade Manor’s introduction to this series, it can be roughly understood that this series does not emphasize detailed plots like the red label, but emphasizes the iconic flavor of Jade Manor’s high-altitude Geisha coffee. This series is a blend of batches produced in each detailed plot. (In fact, the green label can be roughly understood as the red label regardless of land.) Overall, it is a very cost-effective Geisha coffee.
C. Front Street Sherry Coffee Beans
Alcoholic coffee sounds very appealing. A very popular coffee bean from Front Street is the Front Street Honduran Sherry. This coffee bean is processed in sherry whiskey oak barrels, giving the brewed coffee a rich sherry aroma and vanilla cream flavor. It is a coffee bean with unique flavor.
D、Front Street Blue Mountain Coffee Beans
I believe the name Front Street Blue Mountain No. 1 is familiar to everyone. As a representative of high-end coffee beans in the last century, Front Street Blue Mountain has always maintained high quality. With its mellow and clean taste and perfect balance of sweetness and sourness, it is no exaggeration to call it the "King of Coffee". Front Street has always joked when introducing Front Street Blue Mountain Coffee, "If you want to know what the taste of coffee is, then try a cup of Blue Mountain Coffee!"
E. Front Street Kenya AA coffee beans
The acidity of Front Street Kenyan coffee is very thick and full. This is inseparable from Kenya’s coffee planting and management level. In terms of coffee varieties, Kenya has selected SL28 and SL34 with good flavor through Scott Laboratories for national promotion and planting. In terms of processing method, the unique Kenyan 72-hour washing process is used. The ordinary washing process only lasts for 36 hours at most, because if it is brewed any longer, the coffee will have acetic acid and musty smell. However, Kenya's unique washing method actually shows the acidity of thick black plums and cherry tomatoes in the coffee.
Front Street Kenya divides the grades based on the size of the green beans. The highest grade is AA, which means the size of the green beans is 17-18 mesh. The AAtop and AA+ written by some merchants are actually voluntary descriptions by the merchants and do not represent Kenya's national standard. The best-selling product in Front Street is the Front Street Azalia coffee beans, which are produced in a bee processing plant in the Nyeri production area. The coffee produced in this processing plant has a distinct cherry tomato flavor and is very representative of Kenyan coffee.
F. Brazilian Queen Manor Yellow Bourbon on Front Street
Queen's Manor has won numerous awards, and even won the COE Cup of Excellence in 2011. The manor mainly grows high-quality bourbon coffee species, among which yellow bourbon is the "proud product" of Queen's Manor.
If you are new to freshly ground Pour over(V60) coffee, this bean is perfect for practicing brewing. Front Street Roast uses a medium roast for this bean. This is a better experience than brewing some light roasted coffee beans. It is also very easy to brew with a sucrose-like sweetness, and the coffee as a whole tends to have a chocolate and buttery peanut flavor, making it easier for people who have just started to get into coffee to accept its taste.
The reason why Front Street recommends this coffee bean is that it can not only be used well in hand brewing, but also has good flavor performance when used in moka pots, French press pots, and espresso machines. There is no doubt that it is a "universal oil" in terms of cost performance.
G. Front Street Costa Rican Blueberry Gummies
In 2019, Front Street purchased a batch of black honey-processed coffee beans from Boulder Manor, which received widespread praise. So much so that in 2020, many customers came to inquire about the black honey beans from Jushi Manor. This year, Boulder Manor is back. This year's Front Street Blueberry Gummy is a strong product of Boulder Manor. It uses anaerobic heavy honey processing and exhibits very strong blueberry gummy, rose fragrance and other obvious and attractive flavors.
This bean is also very friendly to novices who are just getting started, and you can also feel the sweet aroma of blueberries during the brewing process. The only drawback may be that the price is slightly higher.
H. Front Street Panama Flower Butterfly Coffee Beans
Panama Geisha coffee is still a myth among specialty coffees, and of course the price is also mythical. The appearance of Front Street Butterfly allows us to taste the flavor of Panamanian Geisha at an affordable price.
Front Street Butterfly contains 70% Geisha coffee beans, and the remaining 30% is Kaduura and Kaduai. This coffee bean can taste clean and clear floral aroma, with obvious Gesha flavors such as citrus and honey. It is not an exaggeration to call it the king of cost performance.
