October Feature: Ethiopia - Yirgacheffe Konga

The formation of the Single Farmer Lots Program in Ethiopia has allowed the breaking off of single farmer lots from the larger cooperative blends sold through the Ethiopian Commodity Exchange. The program is a unique micro-channel of almost unprecedented specificity in coffee supply from Ethiopia. See more below...

 

ABOUT THE CLUB

Each month, our Roastmaster, Jacob Long, will select special coffees exclusively for members of this monthly coffee club. These special blends and single origins will showcase our most exciting new coffees of the moment for you to enjoy.

"It takes a certain spirit of adventure to embark on this coffee journey. To step into the unknown and welcome a mystery coffee each month is exemplary. Those who venture with open minds will not be disappointed by the wonders they discover."

 -Paul Katzeff, Roastmaster Emeritus - Thanksgiving Coffee

Takele Mammo Denbi, at 47 years, is a brand-new participant in the Single Farmer Lots Program this year, but not at all new to the direct export process. Takele cultivated this single farmer lot on his 8-hectare farm in the Konga district, located in the heart of the coveted Gedeo Zone—the narrow section of plateau dense with savvy farmers whose coffee is known as “Yirgacheffe”. The Konga cooperative is well-known for its quality, and it’s a distinct pleasure having individual farmers from this perennially impressive community to celebrate, not to mention one as dedicated to farmer opportunity as Takele.

Customer Review

Coffee to Water Ratio

Using the correct amount of coffee will ensure that your coffee is brewed to strength, without over-extracting or under-extracting the coffee to compensate for an inappropriate dose. We recommend 2 grams of coffee for every fluid ounce of water used to brew. Weighing coffee is the most accurate way to measure the appropriate dose. If a scale is not available, we recommend 2 heaping tablespoons of ground coffee for every 5 ounces of water used to brew.


Grind Size

Producing the correct particle size in ground coffee is one of the most important steps in coffee brewing. In general, a finer grind will produce a more intense brew and a coarser grind will produce a less intense brew. At the same time, a grind that is too fine will produce an over-extracted, astringent brew, and a grind that is too coarse will produce a weak, under-extracted brew lacking flavor. In pour-over methods, grind size also affects the rate of extraction, as water will pass more slowly through a finer grind, and more quickly through a coarser grind. We strongly recommend burr grinders over blade grinders.


Water Temperature and Quality

Water temperature dramatically affects the extraction of coffee’s flavor during brewing. We recommend brewing with water at 200-202° Fahrenheit for best results. Using fresh, clean, chlorine-free water is essential.
