What is the best way to drink Colombian coffee?
A few general tips to enhance the experience of drinking Colombian coffee. First, I like to use freshly ground beans to preserve the delicate flavors and aromas that are unique to Colombian coffee. Using a burr grinder helps achieve a consistent grind size, which is crucial for proper extraction.
When it comes to brewing, I've found that a pour-over method, such as using a Chemex or V60, allows for optimal control over the brewing process, resulting in a clean, bright, and flavorful cup of coffee. A medium-fine grind and a water temperature of around 200°F (93°C) work well for this brewing method. Alternatively, a French press or Aeropress can also yield excellent results, highlighting the smooth body and fruity undertones of Colombian coffee.
Once the coffee is brewed, I prefer to drink it black to fully appreciate the nuanced flavors and natural sweetness of the beans. However, some people might enjoy adding a touch of sugar or a splash of milk or cream to their Colombian coffee.
