“KOSAKADA Sugary BOX” CROWD ROASTER Usukura style iced coffee recommendation

hello everyone.
This is Usukura from CROWD ROASTER .

The drink comparison set ``KOSAKADA Sugary BOX'' to commemorate Yuya Kosakada 's appearance, which we recently started selling, has been very well received.
Thank you to everyone who purchased this product.
 
 
This "KOSAKADA Sugary BOX" is a perfect set for this hot summer.

We recommend drinking it with hot coffee, but you can also enjoy different flavors with each brand of iced coffee, so this set is perfect for getting through the hot summer.

The country of origin, variety, and selection are all different, so I think you'll be able to enjoy the differences that come with making iced coffee.

In today's article, we will introduce how to enjoy KOSAKADA Sugary BOX iced coffee.

[CSLC] Colombia/El Paraiso Farm/ Castillo /Double Anaerobic Lychee

 
When you make iced coffee with [CSLC], you can enjoy the sweetness reminiscent of peach tea and the refreshing and clean aftertaste.
 
【ratio】
Beans: 30g
Extraction amount: 250ml
Pouring amount: 500ml
Extraction time: 2 minutes Steaming: 40 seconds Grind: medium-sized Water temperature: 92 degrees

There are two points.

① Grind a little coarser than other brands

What is important when making [CSLC] into iced coffee is a refreshing and fresh drinking experience.
For this reason, we recommend making the grind a little coarser.

② Shorten extraction time

This is the same as the first point, but be conscious of the extraction that aims for a refreshing and fresh drinking experience.
Since there are various factors, it is difficult to make a general statement, but the shorter the extraction time, the lighter the finish will be, so we recommend finishing the extraction time early.

[GJE] Ethiopia/Zeleram Washing Station/Ethiopian original/Natural

 
When you make [GJE] into iced coffee, you can enjoy the strawberry-like sweetness that is unique to Ethiopian naturals, while also enjoying the richness of the carefully selected coffee.
 
【ratio】
Beans: 30g
Extraction amount: 200ml
Pouring amount: 500ml
Extraction time: 2 minutes 30 seconds Steaming: 50 seconds Grind: Medium-fine water temperature: 90 degrees

There are two points.

① Grind a little finer than other brands

What is important when making [GJE] into iced coffee is a rich drinking experience.
For this reason, we recommend making the grind a little finer.

②Relax in hot water

In order to bring out the richness of the flavor that you are aiming for, we recommend pouring slowly with thin water.
By pouring slowly, you will be able to make coffee with a strong flavor, making it easier to create the rich drinking experience that you want to serve this time.

[ SL28 ] Kenya/Kiamara/ SL28 /Washed

 
[ SL28 ] has the best balance of sweetness and acidity among the three brands, making it a very easy-to-drink brand.
When you make iced coffee with [ SL28 ], you can enjoy the rich yet refreshing acidity of blood orange.
 
【ratio】
Beans: 30g
Extraction amount: 250ml
Pouring amount: 500ml
Extraction time: 2 minutes 15 seconds Steaming: 1 minute Grind: Medium-fine water temperature: 90 degrees
 

The key is to steam it thoroughly.

In order to enjoy [ SL28 ], it is necessary to balance the acidity with the richness.
To achieve this, it is ideal to bring out the full flavor.
By allowing more time for steaming, the flavor will be extracted slowly, making it easier to get the full flavor.

What did you think?
The recipes I introduced this time are different for each brand, but I think it would be interesting to brew all three brands using the same extraction method and compare them. I think it's interesting to enjoy the different ways of doing things.

We will continue to release various drinking comparison sets, so please look forward to it!
