If you're looking to gift yourself some coffee or have received some Lost Sheep Coffee, and are unsure on the best way to prepare your tasty new beans, here are a few of our favourite recipes.
Pour Over - V60 - Try with Father Sheepmas
1. Fold the seam of the paper filter in on itself, then open it out inside the V60 cone. Lightly wet the filter, sticking it to the sides of the cone.
2. Dose 15g medium fine-grind coffee and place it in the middle of the filter paper.
3. Pour 50g of *hot filtered water onto the grounds and swirl the slurry. leave for 30secs, this is called the bloom! It knocks out natural gases from the coffee.
4. Pour another 100g of water on and give the V60 another swirl.
5. Pour your final 100g of water, have a final swirl and tap on your cup or jug to level the grounds.
It should finish draining at about 2:30-3 mins. Let it cool slightly and enjoy!
Cafetiere - The best way to make The Filter One
1. Our go-to brew ratio is 6g of coffee to 100 ml of water. For 2 large mugs to share we like to use 30g of coffee to 500ml of water.
2. Place 30g of medium/medium coarse ground coffee into the bottom of the cafetiere. Pour 500ml of boiling filter water straight onto the grounds (Cafetieres are often glass or metal and can lose heat quickly, so boiling is best. If it’s a cold day, preheat the cafetiere before brewing)
3. Stir to combine grounds with water and let sit for 3 minutes to brew. Once the 3 mins are up, stir again.
4. Any remaining coffee sitting on top of the water, scrape off with a spoon. Now you can place your plunger and plunge.
5. Let the cafetiere sit for a further 3 mins, this allows all the bits of coffee to sink and give clarity to the brew. Now it’s time to pour and enjoy!
Espresso - This is the perfect recipe for our Best Selling Blend - Get to the Hopper
We like to use a traditional 2:1 ratio to get the best out of this blend!
18.5g Coffee 25 – 32 Seconds extraction 32-38g final espresso yield!
