Colombia Las Moras: How to Brew This Single-Origin Coffee

Quick answer

Brew Colombia Las Moras as a pour over with a medium-fine grind, a 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio, and water just off the boil. This method highlights the coffee's sweetness and balance without masking its origin character.

Step-by-step brewing guide for Colombia Las Moras

1. Heat water and rinse the filter: Bring fresh water to a boil, then let it cool for 30 seconds. Place a paper filter in your dripper and rinse it with hot water to remove paper taste and preheat the brewer. Don't skip the rinse; it prevents a papery aftertaste.
2. Weigh and grind coffee: Weigh 20 g of Colombia Las Moras and grind to a medium-fine consistency, like table salt. Add the grounds to the rinsed dripper and shake gently to level the bed. A consistent grind is key; adjust if your grinder produces many fines.
3. Start the bloom: Pour 40 g of water (about twice the coffee weight) over the grounds, ensuring all are saturated. Wait 30–45 seconds while the coffee degasses. If the bed doesn't bubble, your coffee may be stale; still proceed but expect less complexity.
4. Pour in stages: After the bloom, pour water in slow spirals up to 320 g total, keeping the water level about 1 cm above the bed. Aim to finish pouring by 2:00–2:30 minutes. Avoid pouring directly onto the filter; keep the stream centered on the slurry.
5. Let it drain and serve: Allow the coffee to drain completely. The total brew time should be around 3:00–3:30 minutes. Remove the dripper, swirl the carafe, and serve immediately. If the brew drains much faster or slower, adjust your grind for next time.
