The God Shot

BE coffee lovers, get ready for Brussels Coffee show this weekend!
Taste great coffees from Belgian roasters, find the best coffee tools and enjoy the demonstrations.

We have a treat for you: our new, refreshing coffee drinks in collab with mixologist Rob Biesmans. 😍

📍Tour & Taxis, 7-8-9 November

World Coffee Championships just announced where the last unappointed competitions will be held, at which venues. One of the venues being World of Coffee Brussels @ Brussels Expo - another first for Belgium - and they are some exiting competitions!

Grinder: Pietro flat burr grinder with Pro-brew burrs (designed by Lance Hedrick, for the best clarity) on setting 8.1.
Filters from Cafec, Japan.

Coffee used: 3Marks Coffee (also roasting on a Stronghold for their special lots), Colombia white honey gesha produced by Sebastian Ramirez. 🤤

We used the conical basket on the Fellow Aiden brewer, with a 450ml / 28,1g recipe:

1:16 ratio
1:3 bloom, 30s, 70ºC (the Samo Smrke bloom, my professor!)
3 pulses, 20s between each
Pulse 1 temp 93ºC
Pulse 2 temp 91ºC
Pulse 3 temp 88ºC

The difference: we made our own water recipe & used the best equipment for clarity in filter brews.

The show water was filtered with a ZeroWater filter to 0ppm and then remineralized with Lotus Water drops.
Per 5 litres water:
22 drops Magnesium
11 drops Calcium
15 drops Potassium
11 drops Sodium

A'dam Coffee Fest! Besides inviting Stronghold roasters Replica & Rush Rush @ our brewbar, we brewed some too!
Our recipe got the reaction we hoped for. "They all tasted the same, your coffee is the only one that's different, in a good way". She's prob 98,5% right! 😉🤷‍♀️

Productivity increased ✅

Pas op, er zijn er bij die pas gebrand zijn, en dan zit er nog veel CO2 in de bonen. Wat zure/slappe extractie geeft. Best 1 weekje laten rusten dus. 😉

Swiss government says coffee 'not essential', stockpiling to end Switzerland on Wednesday announced plans to abolish the nation's emergency stockpile of coffee, in place for decades, after declaring the beans not vital for human survival, though opposition to the proposal is brewing.

Wees niet als Zwitserland mensen!
