1. What kind of coffee beans should be used for Pour over(V60) coffee?
There are two types of coffee beans, namely: single product and blended. Single-origin coffee beans and blended coffee are suitable for different coffee-making equipment. If the system is divided, single-origin coffee beans are suitable for filter-type Pour over(V60) coffee making methods, while blended coffee beans are suitable for pressurized extraction to make espresso coffee.
2. Recommendations for Pour over(V60) coffee beans:
For novices buying Pour over(V60) coffee beans, Front Street will recommend three types of coffee beans, namely: Front Street Cymbidium from Colombia, Front Street Mandheling from Indonesia, and Front Street Yirgacheffe from Ethiopia. The reason is that these three coffees represent different flavor series. When these three coffees are put together, you can feel the obvious difference.
1. Colombia - Front Street Cymbidium Coffee: Mainly nutty aroma, with the flavor of dark cocoa and chocolate, slightly acidic, low bitter point, and moderate mellowness.
2. Indonesia - Front Street Mandheling Coffee: Mainly spices and herbs, with a distinct caramel taste, almost no sourness, and the highest mellowness. Many people like this coffee bean because it tastes like sugar-free dark chocolate.
3. Ethiopia - Front Street Yirgacheffe: The floral aroma comes first, followed by the bright acidity of citrus and lemon, with low bitterness and a slight sweetness. It tastes like a cup of floral fruit tea.
This is also the most intuitive understanding of the taste of these three coffee beans, so these three coffee beans are defined according to taste as sour, medium, and bitter. If you want to improve your coffee tasting skills, you can try these three coffee beans according to Front Street's method. I believe you can find the flavor you like.
