GUATEMALA BREW RECIPE
WILDERNESS VERSION:
Fill the grinder once ~21G.
60 seconds off the boil for your temperature. At 1700M/5000FT or above, skip the waiting and brew immediately.
Three pours with the first being slightly smaller to fill a 12oz insulated mug.
In colder weather, abandon any waiting and brew swiftly filling the brewer as high as you can until the mug is full. Cap it and let the remaining coffee drip into a second cup, sometimes called the desperation cup.
HOME & CABIN VERSION
Weigh and grind 21G
Brew water temp 92C/198F on your digital kettle. Do not go lower than 92C as the flavor profile suffers with diminished sweetness and other pleasing flavors.
Pour recipe: 30G first pour, wait 45 seconds, 150G second and third pour until dripped through each time.
Total brew time: 3 minutes. Adjust grind fineness to hit this target.
This recipe highlights the sweetness of this coffee while retaining the bright balance one expects from our Guatemala
