The most famous origins of coffee in Asia are the various islands in the Malay Archipelago: Sumatra, Java, and Kaliman Island. Among them, the Sumatra Mandheling coffee produced in Sumatra Island in Indonesia is the most famous. Mandheling coffee is produced in Sumatra, Indonesia, Asia, and is also known as "Sumatra coffee". Sumatra has fertile volcanic soil found in many well-known coffee-producing areas. The soil contains a large amount of minerals, which helps the coffee fruits produce more nutrients and aroma. Local farmers will plant coffee trees at medium altitudes, generally between 600-1200m. The low-altitude planting environment and the climate characteristics of tropical rainforests mean that the coffee fruits take a short time to mature and are difficult to form rich acidity. Therefore, the coffee flavor here is more herbal and spice.

Front Street Mandheling Coffee Beanstreatment method
The unique flavor of Mandheling coffee is not only related to the local climate, but also has an inseparable relationship with its processing method. Indonesia is located in a typical tropical rain forest climate area, where rainfall is frequent and the duration of sunshine is short, which is not suitable for solar treatment. In addition, the local economic conditions are average and there is not enough money to invest in water washing treatment. Therefore, the local area has derived this semi-water washing treatment method, which is also the wet soaking method. This is a rare processing method in the world, which accidentally created Mandheling's special low-acid, thick and fragrant flavor.
Parameters for brewing Front Street Mandheling coffee:
Front Street MandhelingCoffee is so unique, how can it be brewed to fully reveal its flavor? Below, Front Street will share with you some parameters of Front Street Pour over(V60) Front Street Mandheling coffee:
Front Street Mandheling CoffeeThe flavor is nutty and chocolatey, and the Front Street baker chooses dark roasting. The darker the roasting degree, the looser the texture of the coffee beans, the stronger the water absorption, and the easier it is to extract during brewing. Therefore, Front Street uses lower water temperature and coarser grinding to avoid the burnt and bitter feeling caused by over-extraction.
Front street choice: KONO filter cup, water temperature of 88 degrees, powder to water ratio 1:15, 15 grams of powder, grinding thickness is 70% of the national No. 20 filter, and segmented brewing. The brewed Mandheling coffee is mellow and dense in the mouth, with a strong herbal flavor and a high sweetness.
When it came to choosing a filter cup, Front Street chose the famous Kono filter cup. The biggest feature of the Kono filter cup is that the ribs extend from the bottom to the middle, and the upper part is a smooth filter cup wall. This way, when the filter paper fits the filter cup, water cannot "sneak" around the coffee powder and escape, improving the taste and mellowness. It is suitable for brewing medium-dark roasted coffee beans such as Front Street Mandheling and Front Street Golden Mandheling.
The amount of coffee powder used by Front Street is still 15g. The amount of coffee powder is not better, nor is it less. It depends on the specifications of the filter cup. Front Street uses a filter cup for 1-2 people. A reasonable amount of coffee powder is 15-20g. It will be difficult to brew powder amounts outside this range.
Regarding the ratio of powder to water, Front Street recommends using 1:15, although some will recommend using a powder-to-water ratio of 1:13 or smaller. Front Street has said before that concentration is not necessarily related to body, and too thick a powder can cause discomfort. Therefore, using a powder to water ratio of 1:15 can also well express the mellow taste of Mandheling. Of course, if you want a lighter taste, you can slightly adjust the proportions yourself.
In terms of coffee grinding, Front Street uses a No. 20 sieve with a pass rate of 70%. The grinding degree for brewing Front Street Mandheling coffee is slightly coarser than that of light-roasted coffee beans. Because the deep roast used by Front Street Mandheling has a looser structure, it is easier to absorb water and release coffee substances. If it is ground to the thickness of light-roasted beans, it is easy to produce a burnt and bitter taste; if it is ground coarser, the coffee will become thin and tasteless, and the taste will be as thin as water.
When it comes to the choice of water temperature, Front Street recommends using a water temperature of 88°C for brewing. In the same way as the grinding degree, water temperature that is too high is likely to produce a burnt and bitter taste, while water temperature that is too low will cause the coffee to appear flat and have an unpleasant sour taste.
Brewing method Front Street also uses a three-stage water injection method. The three-stage water injection can better express the mellow taste of Front Street Mandheling coffee and the sweetness of caramel. The specific amount of water injection is distributed as follows: 30ml of water is injected into the first stage of steaming. This period of water injection fully wets the coffee powder and exhausts it. In order to better extract the flavor substances of the coffee in the future, segmented extraction is adopted, and steaming is carried out with 2 times the amount of coffee powder, that is, 30 grams of water is steamed for 30 seconds. The reason why the steaming process is needed is to allow the coffee powder to discharge the internal carbon dioxide gas, so that the subsequent extraction is more stable. The small flow of water in the second stage stops when the water is poured in a circle to 125 grams. When the coffee powder is exposed, the third stage of water injection is continued. The third stage continues to fill the water until 225 grams and stops. When the water in the filter cup is finished dripping, remove the filter cup and start counting from the water injection. The extraction time is 2'00'. Next, pick up the entire cup of coffee, shake it evenly, and then pour it into the cup to taste.

Front Street Brewing Coffee Suggestions:
For coffee brewing, Front Street has always believed that the freshness of coffee beans is a very important part. The freshness of coffee beans can maximize the rich flavor of coffee. The coffee beans shipped by FrontStreet Coffee are all roasted within 5 days, because FrontStreet knows that the freshness of coffee beans has a great impact on the flavor. The purpose of Front Street Roasting is "freshly roasted and good coffee", so that every customer who orders receives the freshest coffee. The bean-growing period of coffee is about 4-7 days, so the flavor is at its best when customers get it.
Of course, there are also some customers who need Front Street’s help in grinding the powder, which is okay, but Front Street needs to remind you: if the coffee beans are ground in advance, there is no need to raise the beans, because during the transportation process, the pressure generated by the carbon dioxide in the packaging can also make the coffee flavor mellower, so you can make a cup of coffee immediately after receiving the coffee powder. But the coffee powder needs to be brewed in time, because the coffee powder oxidizes quickly when exposed to air, which means that the flavor of the coffee will dissipate relatively quickly, and the flavor of the coffee will not be so good. Therefore, Front Street recommends buying whole beans and grinding them freshly, so that you can better taste the flavor of the coffee.
