Ethiopia Sidama Bare - Natural Coffee Bean

The Signature Pour-Over Recipe

To perfectly accentuate the "pineapple and dried mango" notes, this light-medium roast performs beautifully using a manual drip setup (such as a V60) with the following parameters:

• Dose (In): 15 grams of freshly, medium-coarsely ground coffee
• Water Temperature: 91°C to 93°C (ideal to maximize the sweet fruit layers without introducing over-extracted bitterness)
• Ratio: 1:15 (Yielding approx. 225g of liquid coffee)
• Target Profile: Exceptionally clean, bright, and highly aromatic, prioritizing a juicy tropical acidity and a sweet, rounded finish.

Versatile Brewing Options

If you are exploring other daily preparation setups, this adaptable single-origin coffee performs beautifully across multiple precision styles:

• Moka Pot: Yields an adventurous, intensely dense, and sweet fruit-forward concentrated shot that acts as a lively base.
• Siphon: Accentuates the clean natural processing, elevating the vibrant fruit aromatics and crisp clarity.
• French Press: Tames the brightest acidic peaks while extracting a smoother, rounder mouthfeel that highlights the deep, jammy mango sweetness.
• Drip Coffee Machine: Great for an effortless, vibrant, and top-tier comforting morning mug.

Pro-Tips for Best Flavor

• Let it Rest: Light-medium roasts need time to fully open up. Allow your whole beans to rest in the sealed bag for 7 to 14 days from the roast date before brewing. This crucial degassing phase guarantees a seamless, balanced extraction.
• Storage: Keep your beans inside their original packaging using the integrated resealable zipper. Store the bag in a cool, dark pantry—never the refrigerator—to safeguard the fragile aromatic oils from destructive moisture and condensation.

To keep your coffee beans tasting at their peak flavor, shield them from air, moisture, heat, and light.

1. Use the Original Bag
The packaging is already designed for optimal preservation. It features a resealable zipper and a recyclable degassing valve that lets carbon dioxide escape without letting oxygen in. Squeeze out excess air and zip it tightly after each use.

2. Store in a Cool, Dark Place
Place the bag in a kitchen pantry or cupboard. Keep it away from heat sources like ovens, microwaves, or sunny windows. Additionally, avoid storing it near strong spices, as coffee beans easily absorb surrounding odors.

3. Avoid the Refrigerator
Never store your daily coffee in the fridge. The temperature fluctuations from opening and closing the door create internal condensation, which ruins the essential oils and stales the beans rapidly.

Tip: If you bought whole beans, let them "rest" in the sealed bag for 7 to 14 days from the roast date before brewing. This allows the beans to de-gas, ensuring a smoother extraction for your espresso.
