Este es un hermoso café de la región de Zamora en Ecuador, su alto dulzor y vibrante acidez nos recuerdan algunos de nuestros cafés favoritos de Kenia.
Creamos este método de elaboración para aprovechar los aspectos únicos del gotero Origami, mientras resaltamos las mejores partes del Rancho Carmen. Probamos muchas recetas diferentes con este café, pero sentimos que ésta era la que tenía mejor sabor y la más fácil de replicar.

Author:Julia Peixoto (She /Her)
Ingredients
-
20 grams Rancho Carmen, Ecuador, Washed, medium coarse (roughly 1100 microns, EK-43)
-
Medium Origami dripper
-
Wave filter (Kalita 185)
-
Gooseneck kettle
-
Scale with Timer
-
Grinder
-
Glass decanter/mug
Directions
While you are waiting for water to get to 205F, weigh out 20grams of coffee.
Once water is at 205F, put the Kalita Wave filter in the Origami and pre-wet the filter with hot water until the outside of the dripper is warm to the touch. Empty excess water from vessel.
Grind the coffee Medium-Coarse, for us this was 11.5 on a scale of 1-16, 16 being the coarsest. Place ground coffee into the rinsed filter inside the dripper.
Pour 50 grams in concentric circles, evenly saturating the grounds with water. It should take roughly 7 seconds to pour the 50 grams (pour rate of 7 grams per second). Let the water completely drain.
Repeat step 4, until you reach 300grams (6 pours of 50 grams of water). Final brew time should be between 3:45 - 4:30.
Pour yourself a cup and enjoy!
Recipe Note
TIPS AND TRICKS
We created this brewing method to take advantage of the unique aspects of the Origami dripper, while highlighting the best parts of the Rancho Carmen. We tried a lot of different recipes with this coffee but felt that this one was both the best tasting and the easiest to replicate. The only issues we ran into were when the grind size was too fine, you would start to get hints of astringency.
