Preparare il caffè Kona

Ingredienti

• 1 tbsp ground Kona Coffee
• 8 oz water

Preparazione

1. 1

   --- Brewing ---

2. 2

   Start with fresh, ice-cold water (filtered or distilled if possible). Bring it to a full boil and let it cool for two minutes before using.

3. 3

   To get maximum flavor out of your Kona beans, medium-fine grinding works best. It should be relatively even in size but not as fine as an espresso roast.

4. 4

   For pour over brewing, use about 15 grams (or 1 standard tablespoon) of ground coffee per 8 ounce water ratio when preparing a cup or carafe of Kona Coffee. Adjust your grind size accordingly if making espresso or a larger pot of French press coffee with Kona beans instead.

5. 5

   Begin by pouring enough water into the grounds to quickly wet all sides evenly (approximately 10 times the weight of the grounds). Once wet, wait about 30 seconds for “blooming” before adding more hot water slowly around edges in circles until desired cup volume is reached. Be sure not to add too much pressure as this may result in under extraction/unpleasant flavors in the finished cup/carafe! When done steeping/brewing, discard used grounds or compost them into the soil if possible!
