V60 Martin Hudak Signature Geisha
V60 filter coffee Martin Hudak Signature Geisha roasted by Union Hand-Roasted brewed at Madame Waffle.
A pleasant coffee afternoon spent in Madame Waffle.
Excellent cappuccino, far better than the undrinkable cappuccino in Stokes on High Bridge a couple of days earlier.
It was then a V60 using the Martin Hudak Signature Geisha that I had brought along as a guest coffee.
Water around 95 C, just off boiling.
First cleanse the filter with hot water, then throw away. This also warms the jug.
Wet the ground coffee, this allows it to bloom, releases carbon dioxide.
Pour water in a circular motion to agitate the coffee.
Then enjoy.
This was the coffee Martin Hudak used to win World Championship Coffee in Good Spirits, Budapest June 2017.
I had the honour of meeting Martin Hudak at Union Summer Carnival a few days after his winning the world championship, not only meeting but actually trying his award winning cocktail, a cocktail made with Geisha.
Geisha, a coffee from Panama, is one of the world’s highest rated coffees.
The Martin Hudak Signature Geisha has a Q rating of 91.
Geisha grows at high altitude, shaded by trees, as all the best coffees grow.
When it was discovered in Panama, the reaction of those who first tasted Geisha was that of discovering God in a cup.
For more on Geisha and its almost mystical status, God in a Cup is an absolute must read.
Special thanks to Bruce at Madame Waffle for doing the honours and pouring the V60.
