Coffee Quality Assurance
Choose Your Brew
Pourover
- Boil water 205°F (just off the boil) for optimal extraction
- Grind 21 grams (about 3 tablespoons) of coffee to about as fine as kosher salt. Add to brewer.
- Saturate the grounds Saturate the grounds with water right off the boil (about 205°F). Use just enough water to cover the grounds.
- Let it bloom for 15 seconds. Coffee de-gasses or “blooms” when it’s fresh–the coffee bed should raise up and bubble a bit.
- Pour water in a slow, even spiral, adding water every 10 – 15 seconds for an even extraction.
Drip Coffee
- MEASURE AND GRIND Use 1 part coffee to 17 parts water (e.g. 28g/4 tbsp coffee for 475ml/16oz water) and grind medium-coarse.
- Add water measure filtered water and add to the machine’s reservoir.
- Add filter and coffee Place a fresh filter in the brew basket, then add your ground coffee to the filter and level it gently.
- Start the brew and let the machine do the work.
The Story
Stumptown has partnered with the Cantillo Family since 2007, when the late Isaías Cantillo Ossa won first place in Colombia’s Cup of Excellence competition. Today, the farm is managed by the next generation of coffee producers in the Cantillo family.
In 1987, Isaías Cantillo purchased his coffee farm, La Esperanza, high up in the mountains of Southern Huila. Twenty years later, his coffee was awarded top prize in the prestigious Cup of Excellence competition. In the following years, Isaías purchased additional land around his farm for each of his children, and Stumptown began buying from them as well – combining lots from the various Cantillos’ farms under one name.
