This lot comes from a new sourcing partner called APG Coffee, located in Veracruz, Mexico. APG is not new to coffee exporting. Rather, it was founded more than 30 years ago by Antonio Perez Galvan, hence the initials APG that form the name of the company. But things are changing at APG thanks to a pair of great grandchildren, Ernesto Perez and his sister Givette who have created strategies for lot separation to bring forward specialty lots. And we are pleased to be the beneficiary of some amazing coffee from the Veracruz region.
Cherries received at the APG wet-mill are meticulously sorted and floated to remove underripe and damaged coffee before depulping. Depuled coffee undergoes an extended fermentation process with pH and temperature controls to promote optimum flavor profiles. After the coffee is washed it is slowly dried on raised beds. The dried coffee is stored in Grainpro cocoons until it is time to mill. The milling and preparation is also done at the APG dry mill, meaning the coffee enjoys personal care from farm to export. The APG dry mill is also recognized for its attention towards preparing specialty lots and was selected to mill the 2022 Cup of Excellent winning lots.
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.
