In recent years, as more and more specialty coffee beans with outstanding flavors have been launched one after another, our choices have increased accordingly, including some varieties with very special names, and Front Street Gutingding coffee is a typical representative.

Front Street Gutingding is a high-grade washed Yirgacheffe. It not only has a cute name and a unique taste, but also is very cost-effective, so it has become the daily coffee of many friends.

Yirgacheffe is one of the most distinctive coffees in the world and an outstanding representative of African specialty coffee. It has a unique fruity aroma of citrus and lemon, along with the fragrance of jasmine. After light-to-medium roasting, it has a soft acidity and a refreshing taste, making it suitable for single-origin coffee. Most Ethiopian coffees have floral and fruity notes, and Front Street washed Gutingding is no exception. In order to retain more elegant acidity, a light roast is chosen for roasting.

We all know that there are many ways to brew coffee, but if you want to bring outFront Street washed Gutingdingat its most unique, we would recommend pairing it with pour-over or cold brew. Pour-over allows you to taste Gutingding's clearly layered floral and fruity flavors, while cold brew lets you experience a fruit-tea-like mouthfeel.

Front Street Gutingding pour-over coffee method

Dripper: V60
Water temperature: 92-93°C
Dose: 15g
Coffee-to-water ratio: 1:15
Grind size: fine granulated sugar size (78% of the powder passes through a No. 20 sieve)

Pour in 30 grams of water for a 30-second bloom, then pour in 95 grams (the electronic scale shows about 125 grams), finishing in about 1 minute. When the water level drops to 2/3 of the coffee bed, pour in the remaining 100 grams (the electronic scale shows about 225 grams), finishing in about 1 minute 35 seconds. Dripping is completed at 2'10", remove the dripper, and extraction is complete.

The washed Front Street Gutingding Cooperative coffee allows you to clearly feel the floral fragrance and the sweetness of honey as soon as you sip it, with full-bodied acidity of lemon and citrus, and after drinking, there is still a lingering tea-like aroma in the mouth.

Front Street Gutingding cold brew coffee method

The method for making cold brew coffee is very simple. First, we need to prepare a bag of freshly roasted Front Street Gutingding coffee beans, an airtight container for holding the extracted coffee liquid, and a filter bag or filter paper and dripper for filtering out the coffee grounds.

① Use an electronic scale to weigh 40g of Front Street Gutingding coffee beans and grind them to the coarseness of fine granulated sugar. Front Street adjusts the grind size using the Chinese No. 20 standard sieve. The coffee powder used for cold brew has a passing rate of 75-85%, and the grinding setting on the ek43s is 9.5-10.5.

② Pour the ground coffee powder into a sealed bottle. Front Street uses a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:10, which means adding 400 grams of room-temperature water.

③ Cover with the lid and shake evenly. You can also use a stirrer to ensure the coffee powder and water fully contact each other, then place it in the refrigerator for low-temperature slow extraction for 8-12 hours.

④ After the time is up, use filter paper (or a filter) to separate and remove the coffee grounds. The clear coffee liquid obtained can be enjoyed immediately, or it can be refrigerated to wait for the flavor to ferment and mature, which will create a fuller fermented mouthfeel.
