GREEN COFFEE INFORMATION

The history of this Fazenda is closely tied to the first steps of coffee growing in the Carmo de Minas, Minas Gerais region.

The farm is located above 1.000m in the Carmo de Minas region. Having an annual temperature of 18ºC, frosts are common in the region during winter. To protect the health of the trees and provide a more uniform ripening, as well as protection against fungi infections, crops are planted on the top of hillsides with slopes of up to 50%. All these steps are important measures that help achieve better final quality of the beans. 

HOME BARISTA TIPS & TRICKS

Espresso

• Use 1 part coffee for 2 parts water.
• Brewzeus’ recipe: 18g coffee with 36ml water and an extraction time of aprox. 25 sec (give or take 3 sec).

Filter

• 10g coffee with 160ml water. No scale, no problem – if using a large cup, measure 4 teaspoons of coffee; for a medium cup, 3 teaspoons.
• Heat the water up to 90°C. Or simply bring the water to boil, remove it from the heat and let it cool down for a couple of minutes before pouring it over.
• Ideally, the coffee should stay in contact with the water for 2 to 4 min, depending on the filter method.

Grind the beans no sooner than just before brewing your coffee. For espresso, a fine grinding is perfect, while filter methods require a medium grinding.
