Sugar
The coffee on this page is named after Sugar.
The coffee
What it tastes like.
- You'll like it if
- you've been disappointed by decaf before and want one that still tastes like coffee.
- Maybe not if
- you want a light, delicate cup; this one leans rich and dark.
Getting it right
How we'd brew Sugar.
Our philosophy? If it tastes good, it is good. These are some of our guidelines for how to get a great cup, but don't treat them as gospel. Treat them as a suggestion.
- We'd start hereDrip
Add medium grounds to the machine's filter basket, fill the reservoir with cold water, and hit start. The machine heats the water and drips it through the bed automatically, usually in about 5 minutes. If brew time is too fast, grind finer or add more grounds.
- Pour Over
Place a filter in the cone, make sure to pre-wet the filter. Add medium-fine grounds, and wet them with a small amount of hot water to bloom for 30 seconds. Pour the rest of the water in slow, spiraling circles over 2–3 minutes and let it drain through.
- Espresso
Pack finely ground coffee tightly into the portafilter and lock it into the machine. Aim for 1:3-3.5 ratio of coffee to espresso in 25-35 seconds. Grind finer to increase brew time.
Start with 1 oz of coffee per 20 oz of near-boiling water
- Too weak
- Add coffee before you add time. Longer brewing makes it bitter, not stronger.
- Too bitter
- Grind a little coarser, or let the water sit thirty seconds after it boils.
