I’m taking a break for a bit. I’ll be on hiatus for the summer. Might post some stories every now and then, but might not. We’ll see how it goes. Feel free to message or reach out or anything. Otherwise, see you mid August!

Pourover from in Portland, OR

No paper filter with a pourover? I’ve been brewing at home with the Cicada dripper that is both pourover dripper and filter in one, no paper filter!

This is definitely a different style of brewing. Because the ceramic does the filtration, the resulting body is very light and tea-like (think Chemex), but because the dripper is the filter, the extraction can be much more even. The high degree of filtration also means typically slower brews, as with any thick filter. The result is light bodied brews that can be simultaneously very bold in flavor.

It took some time to adjust my brewing method (and trying to think back to best practices using thick filters). I have been using coarse grind settings, higher brew temps (~97 C) and very minimal agitation.

If a paperless filter dripper sounds fun or interesting to you, you can order the Cicada from santokunyc.com/onewhodrinkscoffee and use code ONEWHODRINKSCOFFEE20 for 20% off

Two new single origins from that I’ve been enjoying: a naturally processed lot from Honduras, tasting fruity and chocolatey, and a honey processed lot from Nicaragua, tasting light and citric. Thanks, Rêve!
