April Organic

Organic Coffee is something that we discussed for a long time and until today always opted against for the main reason that the taste quality isn’t as high as the alternative.

There are challenges and question marks around the actual certification process at origin. There is different rules depending on what country you are looking at and there is more then one way to get certified. But based on our increased understanding of farming and trading that comes as a result of the partner farm relationships we have we have decided to explore Organic Coffee further.

There is no doubt in our minds that Organic Coffee should be a part of the future and we believe that investing in making it become a reality holds a lot of value for us and the industry at large.

Brewing Recipe :

Dose: 12g
Water: 200g at 92°C
Grind size: 13
Brew time: 2:50 - 3:00
Target TDS: 1.25 - 1.35

Begin your brew with an initial 100g pour. Use your first 30g of the pour to saturate the coffee bed evenly whilst implementing a circular pouring technique.
Continue your pour by completing the final 70g pour into the center of the coffee bed. Replicate this pouring format once again, commencing your second pour at 35 seconds. Finish the brew with a total brew time around 3 minutes.

Example of the pouring structure:
1. 30g Circle Pour - 70g Center Pour (0:00)
2. 30g Circle Pour - 70g Center Pour (0:30)

Dose (out): 56-60g 
Grind Setting: 1.5

Dose and distribute carefully using a scale capable of reading to an accuracy of 0,1g. You must first identify the size of your filter basket - preferably of the brand and variety 'VST 'Ridgeless'.
We recommend using a dosage within +/-1g of the size of the basket.

Please adjust your grind settings as necessary and use the recommended brew time as a reference.
