Get the best from Volcán Azul with these easy brewing tips for filter, espresso, and French press.
Espresso: For espresso, use an 18g dose and extract 36g of liquid in about 28 to 32 seconds. This will produce a chocolatey shot with subtle plum sweetness.
Filter: For filter brewing (like V60 or Chemex), we recommend using 18g of coffee to 300g of water at 94°C. Brew for around 2 minutes and 30 seconds to 3 minutes for a clean, bright, and balanced cup.
French Press: For French press, use 18g of coffee with 300g of water at 95°C. Let it steep for 4 minutes before plunging. This method enhances the coffee’s creamy body and deeper chocolate tones.
