Colombia Café Sofia: The Best Brew Methods

Cafetiere (French Press):

Using a cafetiere will bring out the coffee’s rich, nutty undertones and enhance its smooth, full-bodied character. A comforting, mellow cup with a gentle sweetness. The slightly heavier texture from the immersion method creates a brew that’s smooth and easy to drink.

Filter (V60 / Aeropress):

A filter method will bring out the coffee’s lighter side, enhancing its clean acidity and allowing more of the caramel sweetness to shine through. You might pick up on a slight fruit aroma in the background, balanced by the familiar walnut and cocoa base. The washed process gives the cup clarity and brightness, making it an elegant, easy-to-sip brew, especially in a V60. Aeropress can give a slightly richer version, with the caramel and cocoa rounding out nicely.

Espresso (Machine/ Stove Top):

Expect a silky, balanced shot with a hint of roasted sweetness.

Pulling an espresso shot (18g in / 40g out, 23-25 seconds) will concentrate the coffee’s caramel sweetness and chocolatey richness, giving you a syrupy body with a lingering, nutty finish.

Coffee In Colombia

Colombia has been producing and exporting coffee renowned for their full body, bright acidity and rich aftertaste since the early 19th century. It boasts a wide range of climates and geographic conditions that, in turn, produce their own unique flavours in coffee. This also means that harvest times are incredibly varied, between all of its different regions, Colombia produces fresh crop nearly all year round.

The increasing focus on the specialty industry is changing the way traders and farmers do business. It is becoming more common for farmers to isolate the highest quality beans in their lots to market separately. These higher-quality lots are often sold under specific brands or stories.

Colombia has quickly expanded its certification options over the past decade. The most common certifications available are Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance, UTZ and Organic.
