Brazilia Fortaleza Pamela

If you asked Mihai Panfil where to begin exploring specialty coffee, Brazil would probably be his first recommendation.

Fortaleza Pamela was curated for its familiar, approachable profile - the kind of coffee that feels easy to enjoy from the very first cup.

Sweet. Comforting. Easy to love.

Expect notes of chocolate, caramel and hazelnuts, a creamy body and low acidity.

BARISTA TIP

Espresso

• Use 1 part coffee for 2 parts water.
• Brewzeus’ recipe: 18g coffee with 36ml water and an extraction time of aprox. 25 sec (give or take 3 sec).
  

Filter

• 10g coffee with 160ml water. No scale, no problem – if using a large cup, measure 4 teaspoons of coffee; for a medium cup, 3 teaspoons will do just fine.
• Heat the water up to 90°C. Or simply bring the water to boil, remove it from the heat and let it cool down for a couple of minutes before pouring it over.
• Ideally, the coffee should stay in contact with the water for 2 to 4 min, depending on the filter method.
  

Grind the beans no sooner than just before brewing your coffee. For espresso, a fine grinding is perfect, while filter methods require a medium grinding.
