Gourmet Dining-The Book Worm is now serving French Press coffee2016-06-12
Tag：Gourmet Dining
Coffee consumption is changing and maturing as more people are discovering the richness and complexity that coffee has to offer. Now is a great time for opening that door to more people and providing for those who are already converted. Brewing coffee in a French Press is perfect for exploring the complexity of coffee.
The Book Worm are reintroducing the French Press, starting with the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and the Indonesian Sumatran Mandehling. This will provide a real contrast in taste and flavour.
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe - A smooth, rich, flowery coffee. The clean, slightly sweet body hides notes of cocoa and buttery cream.
Indonesian Sumatran Mandehling - A full-bodied, low-acidity coffee with a smooth mouth feel. Has a slight earthy smell and fruity fragrance on the finish.The Book Worm will look to change the single origin coffee every quarter to give customers more diverse access to coffee flavours.
We can provide labels for each coffee to help make up the display. The label artwork is colourful, attractive and will catch the eye of customers. The display is very important for getting the coffee noticed and the product purchased.
I propose to change the coffee every two or three months to reflect the seasonality of coffee and to allow drinkers to explore different origins.
Preparing the French Press
This method is simple to prepare and is very consistent.1.Grind the coffee beans fairly coarse and place the powder into the press.2.Pour hot water (92-96C) relatively quickly over the powder, making sure to make all the coffee wet.3.Leave the coffee to steep for four minutes. Do not stir.4.After four minutes stir the coffee so that it sinks to the bottom.5.Put the plunger in but do not push down. Serve the press to the customer and encourage them to slowly push the plunger down in their own time.
Ratios
I recommend a ratio of 60 grams of coffee to 1 litre of water. 60:1000
You would not want to drop the weight of coffee below 50 grams to a litre. The World Atlas of Coffee book I recommended suggests using 75 grams. 60:1000 will extract the coffee well with the desired flavours and also takes into account the economics of serving such a beverage. Many small size French Presses hold 350-400 ml. 20-25 grams should be fine for this.
Price
The market price for both of these coffees is 85 RMB for a 250g bag.Follow us on WeChat: aluokecoffee关注我们的公众微信： 阿罗科咖啡
