Givette Pérez Orea Washed Marsellesa Brew Guide

Article Image

Root beer. Tootsie Rolls. Pomegranate. And even some orange. This coffee is straight up delightful. When I cupped this one it felt like a warm hug honestly. It's perfect for fall and better yet – it's versatile AND forgiving. You can't make a bad brew with this one and I encourage you to deviate from the brew guides and experiment. I swear you will taste something different every time. 


The Coffee

  • Producer: Givette Pérez Orea
  • Origin: Veracruz, Mexico
  • Elevation: 1250 MASL
  • Process: Washed
  • Tasting Notes:  Root Beer, Tootsie Roll, Pomegranate, Decadent

Filter

For filter I strongly recommend a conical brewer. Any conical brewer will do, but I personally had a better experience with a conical brew vs flat bed. As a matter of fact, the recipe we're using is specifically for the Hario Switch. 

  • Dose: 14g
  • Yield: 200g
  • Water Temp: 202 F
  • Target Time: About 2:20, it can vary. Follow your taste buds ;)
Time Action Poured Total
0:00 Bloom (Valve Closed) 50g 50g
0:30 Open Valve + Pour 150g 200g
1:10 Let drawdown complete 200g 200g

Espresso

This coffee was bangin' on filter, but espresso takes the cake on this drop. I'm a sucker for a washed coffee, but especially on espresso.

The best part about this one is that you can't pull a bad shot. I mean it.

And that's why this brew guide is gonna be a bit more...open ended.

I think you should start at a 1:3 ratio. Something like 20g in 60g out. But, honestly, I encourage you to explore. This was hands down one of the best espressos I've had this year. I pulled shots at different ratios and every single of them had something good to offer.

Taste is subjective though, so that's why I'm encouraging you to start at 1:3 and then explore and find the one you like best.
