We are revealing the Artisti Coffee Roasters' secret brew recipe that we use in our espresso bar and train with our wholesale and café partners. This recipe ensures you’re making great coffee from the first cup of the day to the last. Let's dive in!
The Artisti Brew Recipe
Ingredients & Equipment:
- Coffee Machine: La Marzocco
- Tamper: Cinoart
- Grinder: Anfim SP2
- Coffee Beans: Champion blend, ideally 7-10 days old
- Pre-infusion: Enabled
The Recipe:
- Dose: 22.5 grams of coffee
- Yield: 45 grams in the cup
- Extraction Time: 30-32 seconds
The Process
1. Dose Consistency
Consistency is key. Use dosing pots and scales to ensure you're dosing 22.5 grams every time. This precision is crucial for maintaining the quality of your coffee throughout the day.
2. Adjusting the Grind
The grind size is the main variable you’ll adjust. Start by cleaning out one chamber of your grinder to ensure an accurate reflection of the grind setting. If your shot is too fast, the grind is too coarse; if it's too slow, the grind is too fine. Adjust accordingly and check your yield.
3. Yield Accuracy
Your target yield is 45 grams. If your shot yields significantly more or less, you’ll need to adjust your grind or consult with your roaster to recalibrate your setup.
4. Monitoring Extraction Time
Aim for a 30-32 second extraction. A shot pulled too quickly will under-extract, resulting in sour notes. Conversely, a shot that takes too long can over-extract, leading to bitterness. Adjust your grind to hit that sweet spot.
Fine-Tuning the Recipe
It's important to monitor and adjust throughout the day. Weather changes, bean freshness, and equipment wear can all affect your extraction. Regularly calibrate your setup at key times, such as 6 AM, 10 AM, and 1 PM, to ensure consistency.
