Brew Recipe for Olympia El Salvador Jose Landaverde Gesha Natural
Using Stagg X Dripper
Ingredients:
22.5g of El Salvador Jose Landaverde Gesha Natural
350g of water
205°F
Steps
1. Measure and grind coffee at a medium-fine setting
Measure out 22.5g of coffee beans and grind them on a medium-fine setting. We used setting 4.2 on Ode with SSP Burr / 3.2 on Ode with Gen 2 Burrs, which is about 2.2 on Ode with Gen 1 Burrs. Suggested setting on Opus is between 5.1 - 6!
2. Heat water and rinse the filter
Heat water to 205°F and rinse your filter before putting your coffee grounds in.
3. Pour 50g of water for the bloom
Fully saturate your coffee grounds with 50g of water, and allow around 40 seconds for the bloom.
4. Continue pouring in 4 stages
After the bloom, pour to 150g; when water drains about halfway, swirl 5x, then pour to 250g; then finish at 350g, and agitate with 5-10 gentle swirls once water drains halfway. The total brew time varies, but we’re aiming for 3:00 - 3:30 minutes.
5. Decant into your favorite mug and enjoy!
Look out for the incredible flavors of apple, prune, pink florals, and punchy red fruit jam.
