This particular lot comes from a single farm, a rarity for Ethiopia where most coffees are cooperative-based; an amalgam of many smallholders. What makes this lot special is that it is comprised totally of "floaters" Floaters are lower-density cherries, that float when soaked in water, a step used to sort coffee before drying. These are usually discarded due to being perceived as low quality. However, these floaters were kept and dried separately and produced a surprisingly fruitful cup. Expect notes of yellow and dried fruits in the cup.

Due to its elevation, this lot has a med-high natural acidity. During processing, it was subject to small amounts of fermentation, producing sweet, 'fruited' aromatics. However, floaters are generally less dense and therefore carry less sugars, leading to lower amounts of ferment than denser cherries. The roast profile in both filter and espresso aim to display the fruited (acidity-driven) characters produced at origin.

Espresso recipe we are using for espresso:

•⁠  ⁠⁠Ground coffee weight: 18.5g
•⁠  ⁠⁠Beverage weight: 36g yield
•⁠  ⁠⁠Brew Ratio : 1:1.9
•⁠  ⁠⁠Brew (extraction) time: 27-28 seconds
•⁠  ⁠⁠Water temperature: 92°C
•⁠  ⁠⁠Resting Period: Peak (10-23 days from roasting date)

*Note: As each machine is different, start with an amount of coffee that comfortably fits in your basket. We are using VST 20gm baskets for our recipes. For example, if your portafilter fits 16g of coffee, you need to down dose it as per our recipe. Dose and distribute carefully using a scale capable of reading to an accuracy of 0,1g. 

Hot tips:
Make sure the portafilter is hot when you start brewing. If it’s not, run some hot water through it to heat it up. The espresso shot should first come out as drips and be heavy and oily, and eventually become a steady stream. Please use your grind setting to achieve the recommended brew time.

COFFEE BY COLOUR

Colour can intuitively communicate
how coffee tastes.

At THREE we communicate how our coffees taste through colour. We have grouped all of the
coffees we offer into three different colour groups, based on their sensory characteristics. This
makes it easy for you to find coffees you like.
