Tell Me More About the Amigo Filter Coffee
With Amigo, we want to present filter coffees that are straightforward in preparation and flavor. Roasted a bit darker than our other filter coffees, it works wonderfully with various manual brewing methods like French press, stovetop pot, or classic drip machines. A coffee that convinces us in flavor and connects us as people. In collaboration with exciting partners, we develop a profile that is uncomplicated to enjoy and brings joy to many. An Amigo.
Why Does the Coffee Taste the Way It Does?
We seek flavor profiles that focus on balance, caramel and chocolate notes. These are often washed coffees around 84 points that we roast a touch darker than our other filter coffees. We rotate the coffees seasonally so we can always roast the current harvest of our partners for you.
After harvest, the coffee cherries are fermented for 24 hours in steel tanks, then pulped and fermented a second time for 24 hours. The remaining fruit pulp is then removed using a centrifuge in an Eco-Washer. This results in a clean cup with notes of panela, chocolate, creamy caramel and subtle orange.
How Do We Roast This Coffee?
We roast the coffee in 15kg batches on our 30kg Giesen roaster. The roasting time is 9:30 minutes with a development time of 1 minute and 15 seconds. To develop this roasting profile, we did two things differently than when we roast other washed coffees: First, we increased the batch size by 2.5kg, which extends the roasting time slightly and makes the coffee a bit milder. Second, we raised the final temperature a touch, which further processes the sugars in the coffee and thus enhances the caramel note.
