When we get this bag of Front Street PWN Golden Mandheling coffee, how can we brew a satisfying cup at home? Today we will use two common devices at hand to test two extraction methods - pour-over and AeroPress.

The purpose of different brewing methods is not to adjust the flavor itself, because the flavor of coffee beans depends on factors such as origin, processing method, and roast level. Once we enter the extraction stage, all we can do is change the speed and ratio at which hot water passes through the coffee grounds to influence how much or how little coffee flavor is released. Below we will demonstrate how to brew a cup of Front Street Mandheling coffee with an AeroPress.

Coffee dose: 18g

Grind setting: EK43s setting 7 / 85% passing rate through a No. 20 sieve (finer than a regular pour-over grind)

Coffee-to-water ratio: 1:11 (about 200ml)

Water temperature: 90°C‍‍‍‍

Extraction method: inverted

We can place two round filter papers on the filter cap in advance, then moisten them with water so they adhere. (If you do not have round filter paper, you can cut one from filter paper.)‍

‍‍‍‍‍

1. Assemble the plunger and the chamber, then press the plunger down to around mark ④ and invert it!‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

2. Add the ground coffee, then pour in an equal amount of hot water and start timing!

3. Use a stirrer to stir the coffee grounds in the chamber for as long as ten seconds. (Slowly in circles.)

4. Attach the filter cap with the filter paper fitted onto the chamber.

5. Then attach the prepared container.‍‍‍

6. At one minute, flip it over, then begin pressing downward to "press out" the coffee.

In this way, extraction is complete, taking about 1 minute and 20 seconds. Front Street PWN Golden Mandheling AeroPress coffee has varied layers overall, is full-bodied and clean, with rich nut and caramel aromas, chocolate notes, a lasting finish, and a high sense of balance.
