The Villa Betulia Sidra dialed really quickly for us. We found the best dial to be a grind size around neutral combined with a 21g dose to produce a TDS of 1.45% and extraction of 20.5%. In general, I’m noticing that Sidra varieties taste great with a 21g dose. The higher dose amplifies the fruity and candy notes. This coffee tastes like candy when dialed well and should have a long, sweet, juicy aftertaste.

This coffee is a fantastic expression of a “classic” gesha flavor profile. You should expect lots of delicate florals and positive tea-like characteristics with a medium-high acidity. Due to the delicate nature of this coffee, I would pay special attention to avoiding over-extraction, especially since gesha coffees can have a tendency to brew slowly. The extra 1 gram up-dose should give you enough flavor/body to offset a coarser grind.

This coffee is a washed CM coffee, so you should expect high levels of acidity and sweetness that balance each other well, while the tasting notes are relatively delicate. Similar to Terroir, this coffee presents with a lot of floral notes, but features more sweetness in comparison. It should have a nice sparkling acidity alongside syrupy fruit, but subtle fruits like peach. Be sure to adjust your dial until you’re perceiving that lingering sweetness in the cup.

Dose: 21g

Extraction: 19.15%

This coffee, a cascara-infused CM washed, has a lot of sparkling acidity similar to the cabernet grape tasting note on the label. Once the coffee has had a chance to cool slightly, you should perceive a juicy red-fruit sweetness and slightly syrupy mouthfeel. The brightness and sweetness comes through better at lower extraction, hence the 19.15% recommendation and a slightly coarser grind setting. 

Dose: 20g
Ratio: 1:17
Grind: Neutral
Bloom: 1:2 for 30s
Total Brew: 2:45
TDS: 1.33
Extraction: 19.95%

Vivid has a relatively unique processing method, being a natural CM washed. This means it was carbonically macerated in cherry and then mechanically washed and dried as a washed coffee. The result is similar in profile to Echo, but with more tropical notes like fruit punch. It features a lot of sparkling acidity paired with a more fruity sweetness than you would expect out of a washed coffee. The juicy quality of the mouthfeel comes through even at a 20g dose, so no need to up-dose this one.
