El Salvador - El Cerro Pacamara Black Honey

We brew the filter coffee in the coffee bar with the Hario V60 brewer. Use a 1:16,67 brew ratio, aiming for a TDS of 1,35% or slightly higher for a clean and transparent taste. 

When brewing this coffee, we recommend a dose of 12,0g of coffee, a 200g of brewing water. We recommend a grind size of 7,5 (1000 - 900 microns).

The pour structure as follows:

- 00:00 pre-infuse the grounds, about 30g of water in 10s (pouring in a concentric circle. Grab the dripper and aggressively swirl (3x) it to ensure the slurry is fully wet)

- 00:40 pour 50g of water in 10s in concentric circles  

- 01:10 pour 50g of water in 10s in concentric circle

- 01:40 pour 70g of water in 10s in concentric circle, shake gently. (this will break up any channels that may have formed during the pour, in addition to ensuring a flat bed and minimizing high and dry grounds)

Total brew time: 2:45 – 3:00 minutes
