Let’s Connect on Social
Hey Humans! Craving that perfect cup of coffee but don't want to leave the comfort of your own space? You've come to the right place. At 787 Coffee, we're passionate about bringing you a from farm to cup coffee experience - Puerto Rico's finest coffee, and we believe everyone deserves to experience the magic of specialty, single-origin beans brewed to perfection. This guide is your key to unlocking delicious coffee at home, transforming your daily ritual into a truly exceptional experience.
Why Single Origin Matters (and Why You Should Care)
Before we dive into brewing methods, let's talk about why single-origin coffee is the real MVP. Unlike blends, single-origin beans come from a specific farm or region. This means you're tasting the unique terroir – the soil, climate, and altitude – that shaped the flavor. Think of it like wine; a single-origin coffee tells a story, offering a complex and nuanced taste profile you won't find anywhere else. At 787 Coffee, we're committed to sustainable and eco-friendly practices, ensuring our single-origin beans are not only delicious but also good for the planet. Plus, it allows us to showcase the hard work of our incredible farmers in Puerto Rico and from the farms we partner with.
Choosing Your Weapon: Brewing Methods
Now for the fun part: brewing! There's a whole world of brewing methods out there, each with its own pros and cons. Here are a few favorites to get you started on your home brewing journey:
Pour Over (e.g., Hario V60, Chemex): For the hands-on human who appreciates precision, pour over offers ultimate control over the brewing process. It's a bit of a ritual, but the result is a clean, bright, and flavorful cup. Perfect for highlighting the delicate notes of our single-origin coffees.
French Press: Simple, elegant, and produces a rich, full-bodied brew. The French press is a great option for those who enjoy a more textured coffee with a heavier mouthfeel.
Automatic Drip Coffee Maker: The classic for a reason! Convenient and consistent, drip coffee makers are perfect for busy mornings. Look for models with features like temperature control and pre-infusion for optimal extraction.
AeroPress: A versatile and portable option, the AeroPress delivers a smooth, concentrated brew that can be enjoyed hot or iced. Great for experimenting with different recipes and techniques.
Coffee Tips from the Pros (That's Us!)
Fresh is Best: Always start with freshly roasted beans. Our coffee bags are roasted in small batches to ensure maximum flavor and aroma.
Grind Size Matters: Use a burr grinder for a consistent grind. The grind size will depend on your chosen brewing method. A too-fine grind can lead to over-extraction (bitter coffee), while a too-coarse grind can result in under-extraction (weak coffee).
Water Works Wonders: Use filtered water for the best-tasting coffee. Your water should be hot but not boiling (around 200°F or 93°C).
Measure Up: Use the correct coffee-to-water ratio. A good starting point is 1:15 (e.g., 1 gram of coffee for every 15 grams of water).
Stay Caffeinated: Don't be afraid to experiment! Try different brewing methods, grind sizes, and ratios to find what you love.
