PREPARING THE PERFECT CUP OF GEISHA COFFEE

We deliver coffee beans of the highest quality and freshness to you with the utmost care.
However, it is up to you to complete the last step before sipping your own handcrafted cup of Panama Geisha coffee. It's important to brew it right!
When making this wonderful coffee, we urge you to take your time. Defy intimidation. Simply grind it and brew it with care.
THE WATER
Use the appropriate amount of only filtered water. If this is your first time making Geisha coffee, the following suggestions should help:
For every 300ml (ten fluid ounces) of water, use 17g (three-fifths of an ounce) of grinds.
Approximately 96 degrees Celsius (205 degrees Fahrenheit) should be reached for the water's temperature. Allow the freshly boiled water to sit for about a minute before adding it to the ground coffee if you don't have a way to check the temperature.
THE BEANS
It's time to grind and release the full aroma of your first batch of Panama Geisha coffee.
We advise using a burr grinder to guarantee optimal results. Burr grinders will generate particles of an even size and won't heat the ground coffee as much as blade grinders do. This is necessary to create the ideal consistency. A high-quality manual grinder is a viable alternative.
It's crucial to modify your grind's coarseness to correspond with the brewing technique you'll employ for your Geisha coffee. Here are a few suggestions:
French press / percolator: more coarse coffee grounds
Espresso / filter brewing: fine coffee grounds
Vacuum / drip coffee makers: coffee grounds ranging from coarse to fine
Coffee is traditionally made using the French press, where the coarsely ground beans are first brewed in the water and then pushed out using a filter on a piston. This simple technique works well for larger pots of higher-quality coffee.
One of the oldest methods of making coffee is the pour-over. Hot water is poured directly over the coffee grounds into the cup or pot using a ceramic or plastic funnel with a coffee filter. You have a lot of control over the coffee-brewing process using this method.
A vacuum coffee maker uses vapor pressure to percolate hot water up into a chamber containing coffee grinds before filtering back down into a pot as brewed coffee. Vacuum brewers were developed by German engineers in the 1800s. Experts in coffee frequently deem this approach to be the best.
It's important to remember that coffee grinds quickly lose their scent. In light of this, it is essential to only grind your Panama Geisha beans when you are prepared to brew!
THE BREW
Take it black. Although not everyone prefers black coffee, it is by far the greatest way to experience the full flavor and aroma of Geisha coffee.
