ROASTER’S NOTE
This is one of those coffees you never get tired of. If someone told me I had to choose just one coffee to drink for the rest of my life, I’d shout
DOSSOKAM
and ask for a refill. A classic natural with a slightly boozy, tropical twist. Quality chocolate, a bit like a really good cinnamon roll, with hints of wine and tropical notes in the background.
V60 RECIPE
Coffee dose – 19 g
Water dose – 50 g → 300 g
Grind size:
8.4 EK43; 23 clicks Comandante
-
Place the filter in the V60 and rinse it with a strong stream of water so it adheres well to the walls.
-
Grind the coffee, add it to the V60, and level the coffee bed.
-
Pour 50 g of water, aiming at the dry spots to wet everything thoroughly. If the coffee is very fresh (foaming strongly when it contacts water), you can extend the bloom to 2 minutes or add an additional bloom at 1:00 (pour another 50 g and wait until 2:00).
-
At 1:00 (or 2:00), begin pouring into the very center of the V60 (circles about the size of a 5-złoty coin), using circular movements at a pace of 6–8 g per second (slightly below the second enlarged dot on the Acai kettle), keeping the stream just below the point where it breaks.
-
When you reach 250 g, lower the kettle to about 3 cm above the water surface (no need for circular movements anymore) and finish pouring to 300 g.
-
Perform a shake while holding the narrowing at the base of the V60 (both horizontally and vertically). If the coffee drains too quickly, give it a swirl.
The total brew time should be
2:30–3:00
, or
3:30–4:00
with the extended/additional bloom.
Store in a cold and dry space.
