Specialty Coffee at Home
At Flor a Fruto we believe specialty coffee isn't just the one you buy — it's the one you know how to brew. Brewing specialty coffee at home is an adventure that leads you to discover new flavors, aromas and sensations. We'll guide you step by step so every cup reflects the care we put into every lot.
Discovering specialty coffee
Before diving into brewing, it's worth understanding what sets specialty coffee apart. Our beans stand out for their traceable origin — they come from our own farms in Chinchiná, Caldas — and from documented fermentation protocols designed to bring out the full potential of each variety, whether it's a clean, balanced Washed or a complex Innovation.
Brewing process
How do you brew specialty coffee at home? Here's a step-by-step sequence for a different sensory experience:
Choosing the beans: Start with fresh, recently roasted coffee. If you're after a clean, sweet profile, try our Washed; if you prefer something more fruity and intense, a Natural or an Innovation will surprise you.
Perfect grind: Grind right before brewing. The grind size depends on the method: coarse for French press (6-9 min), medium for drip (4-6 min), fine for espresso (20-30 sec).
Ratios and water: The reference ratio is 7 grams of coffee per 100 ml of water. Use good-quality water and adjust the temperature to your method to extract the best aromas.
Brewing method: Experiment with French press, Chemex or espresso. Each method highlights different aspects of the same coffee.
Enjoy the moment: Take a moment to appreciate the aromas and savor the nuances — every cup tells the story of a specific lot, with its own fermentation and its own farm of origin.
