Brewing Adieu
Tips & tricks for the optimal cup of Adieu coffee
Infusion Brewing
Filter coffee is made by slowly pouring hot water over freshly ground coffee so the water can draw out the oils, sugars, acids, and aromatic compounds before dripping into a pot or cup below. Compared to espresso, it tends to be lighter-bodied, cleaner, and more nuanced, often revealing floral, fruity, chocolatey, or nutty notes depending on the bean and roast.
Note that all these specs can change depending on personal preference. These are just a great place to start.
Dark Roast
1-1.5 grams of coffee to 1-1.5 grams of water
Brew time approx 20-22 seconds
Light Roast
1 gram of coffee to 3-4 grams of water
Brew time 30-32 seconds
Medium Roast
1 gram of coffee to 2-2.5 grams of water
Brew time 23-25 seconds
Espresso
Espresso is bold, syrupy, and deeply aromatic. Because it’s brewed under pressure, it captures concentrated flavors and oils that create a fuller texture and more intense taste than filter coffee. Depending on the coffee, espresso can show notes of chocolate, caramel, nuts, fruit, spice, or florals, balanced by sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.
Note that all of these settings can change depending on the espresso machine, grind, and personal preference. These settings are just a great place to start.
