Brew Guides: Edin Lopez Gesha

In this article, we're delighted to share the official Brew Guides for the first coffee in our Exceptional Coffee series, Edin Lopez Gesha. Don't fear - it may be an Exceptional Coffee, but it's not challenging to brew! We recommend following the same recipe you already use at home with a medium grind, then adjusting your grind setting finer if your brew time is any shorter than 2:30 min.

If you want to follow the same brewing specs we're enjoying in our roastery, we suggest the below recipes for V60, AeroPress, and Kalita Wave that use 17 grams of coffee to yield precisely 10 servings per bag.

Regardless of the brew method utilized, we recommend using cool, filtered tap water. If you're located in an area with particularly hard water, Third Wave Water or bottled spring water is an excellent choice.
