The other day, CROWD ROASTER started selling a new brand of Ethiopia called ``African Cruise Ethiopia Edition,'' a roaster comparison set.
Thank you very much for your positive feedback.

 

 

In order for you to enjoy the new brand ``[SDE] Ethiopia/Sidamo/Bonazria Washing Station/Ethiopian Breed/Washed'', this set was baked by three talented roasters at different roast levels.
This set allows you to enjoy all the goodness of [SDE].

In this article, CROWD ROASTER 's Usukura will introduce each recommended extraction recipe so that you can fully enjoy the "African Cruise Ethiopia Edition".

 

Ono 's coffee is lightly roasted, so you can fully enjoy the flavor characteristics of the brand.

 

There are two points.
 
① Make the extraction time faster than other roast levels <br />Mr. Ono 's coffee this time has a tea-like and light impression.
We consciously extract it to bring out its goodness.

There are various factors involved, so it's difficult to make a general statement, but shorter brewing times will give you a lighter taste, while longer brewing times will give you a more robust coffee.
Since we want Ono 's coffee to have a light flavor, we recommend brewing it faster than other roast levels.
 
② Grind coarsely <br />In order to create the clear drinking experience that is unique to light roasts, we recommend grinding coarser than other roasts.

 

Yoshiya 's coffee has an excellent balance of sweetness and acidity, and is extremely smooth to drink.
 

There are two points.
 
①Take more time to steam than other roasting degrees
Yoshiya 's coffee is a cup that you should enjoy with its good balance of sweetness and acidity.
This is a cup that you want to balance while bringing out the fruity taste of the brand and the chocolate-like richness.
To achieve this, it is ideal to have a good balance of all flavors.
By allowing more time for steaming, the flavor will be extracted slowly, making it easier to get the full flavor.
 
② Pour with thick water <br />The longer the steaming time, the more likely the flavor will be strong and the coffee will tend to be a little heavy.
Therefore, by pouring thick hot water, we can adjust the concentration and aim for a well-balanced coffee.

 

Hagiwara 's coffee has an impressive sweetness reminiscent of chocolate and a thick texture that can only be expected from a high-quality dark roast.
 

There are two points.
 
① Grind it a little finer than other brands <br />This coffee from Hagiwara is a cup that you will want to enjoy the sweetness and richness that comes from the degree of roasting.
For this reason, we recommend grinding the coffee a little finer to make it easier to extract the flavor.
 
② Thoroughly use thin water <br />In order to bring out the richness and drinkability that you are aiming for, we recommend that you pour slowly and 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.

What did you think?
The recipes I introduced this time vary depending on the degree of roasting, but I think it would be interesting to brew all three brands using the same extraction method and compare them, and I think it would be interesting to brew the same brand using different extraction methods. I think it's fun to enjoy the different ways of brewing.

Please try various extraction methods and enjoy Ethiopian coffee to the fullest!
