V60 Finca Immaculada Laurina
V60 filter coffee Finca Immaculada Laurina de Colombia roasted by Union Hand-Roasted Coffee brewed at Madame Waffle.
A morning in Lincoln, most of it spent in Madame Waffle, part of the Lincoln coffee scene.
First an excellent cappuccino.
It was then try a V60, Finca Immaculada Laurina de Colombia, roasted by Union Hand-Roasted Coffee, which I had brought along.
First wet the filter with hot water. This removes any paper residues and heats the filter and carafe.
If in doubt why cleanse the filter, try drinking the hot water.
Add the ground coffee, tapping to ensure the bed is as flat as a billiard table.
Next pour in hot water close to boiling, allow the ground coffee to bloom. This enables the CO2 to escape.
Next pour in the hot water, just off boiling, in a rotating motion.
All steps are carefully weighed, timed, the coffee a precise grind, courser than for an espresso machine.
The ratio of coffee to water, 1 to 16.
- 17.5 g of coffee
- 273.6 g of hot water
How to enjoy is personal preference. I prefer a glass to showcase the colour of the resultant liquid.
To brew, there was a choice between a V60 and a Chemex.
V60 is best suited to bring out the best from a natural process light roast bean.
Finca Immaculada is a garden farm located at a height of 1770–2040 metres, surrounded by a National Park. The coffee plants grow in the Andes in the shade of trees.
Laurina seeds originate from the tiny island of Réunion, east of Madagascar and south west of Mauritius, where a red bourbon variety mutated into this rare variety, the Bourbon Pointu.
Madame Waffle has Caffeine available for free, and one of the few places in the country where must have Standart is on sale.
Madame Waffle also serves waffles.
Special thanks to Bruce for kindly brewing and sharing his expertise.
