Ingredients:

• Freshly Roasted Bacana Coffee Brazilian Beans

Directions:

• Coffee Grind Size: Medium-fine grind. Brazilian coffee beans are naturally sweet, often with notes of chocolate and nuts. A medium-fine grind will ensure optimal extraction of these flavors during brewing.

• Calibration: Ensure that your coffee machine or espresso machine is calibrated to deliver water at a temperature of approximately 200°F (93°C). A slightly lower temperature will ensure you extract the smooth and chocolatey undertones of the Brazilian coffee without over-extracting and making it bitter.

• Dosage: For every 6 ounces (180 mL) of water, use 15 grams of ground Brazilian coffee.

Detailed Process:

1. Bean Selection and Storage: Always use freshly roasted Brazilian coffee beans. Store them in a cool, dark place in an airtight container to preserve their aroma and flavor.

2. Water Quality: Always use filtered water. The quality of the water is vital to brewing an excellent coffee. Ensure it's free from impurities or off-flavors that could detract from the coffee's natural flavors.

3. Grinding: Grind your Brazilian coffee beans to a medium-fine consistency just before brewing. This consistency is slightly coarser than table salt. Freshly ground beans will always yield a better tasting coffee.

4. Brewing: Use your preferred method of brewing - be it French press, pour-over, or an espresso machine. For this recipe, let’s go with a pour-over method for a clean taste.

   • Wet the coffee filter with hot water to remove any papery taste.

   • Discard the rinse water.

   • Place the freshly ground Brazilian coffee in the filter.

   • Begin pouring the hot water over the coffee grounds in a slow, circular motion, ensuring all the grounds are saturated.

   • Allow the coffee to bloom for about 30 seconds.

   • Continue pouring the water slowly until you've reached the desired volume.

   • Allow the coffee to drip through completely.

5. Serving: Pour the brewed coffee into a pre-warmed cup. Serve immediately.
