How We Prepare This Coffee
A wonderful addition to our decaffeinated range. This coffee convinces us with every extraction with its sweetness, which—depending on the length of the shot—reminds us either of a light, ripe berry like blackcurrant or raspberry, or more of dark caramel and praline.
We achieved two beautiful results with the vibration pump profile. With a rotary pump, simply extract two to three seconds longer.
With 19.5 g in and 42 g (1:2.1) out at 30 seconds, we get a soft, dense cup where the fruit acids are beautifully integrated and less noticeable through the sweetness. The light to medium bitterness will appeal to many people. This shot reminds us of dark caramel, praline, and fruity chocolate. Maro Code: VRAIUMH
If we pull the shot at the same drink ratio but shorter to 25 seconds, the playful fruit acid and flavors of light, ripe berries come more to the fore. However, we lose a bit of body here. Maro Code: DVJQKQN
Why Does This Coffee Taste the Way It Does?
The coffee comes from two farms in our Nicaragua network in Dipilto, at 1200 to 1500 m elevation. The Parainema portion comes from Mario Gonzalez, while the Maracaturra and Java portions come from Hipólito Acuña. 20% of it is processed in the classic washed method, 80% using the Carbonic Maceration Natural process by BridAzul. Claudia from BridAzul blended the beans so that they are as large and uniform as possible, making the roast more consistent. In terms of flavor, the CM Natural portion brings the light fruit, while the washed portion contributes the classic Dipilto chocolate profile with fine acidity.
Why Did We Buy This Coffee?
On one hand, we were looking for a heavy, chocolatey espresso for our decaf range. On the other hand, we're deepening our work with existing partners: BridAzul developed this blend specifically for decaffeination, and we purchased the lot together with Per Nordby from Kafferäven in Gothenburg. The coffee was subsequently decaffeinated by CR3 in Bremen using liquid carbon dioxide (CO2 process).
