About this coffee
Huila gives us what we want from an everyday coffee: a sweetness you can taste from the first sip, enough acidity to keep it lively and a finish that is closer to cacao than to anything bitter.
Because it is forgiving, it works in nearly every method. On the espresso machine it pulls a syrupy shot at 1:2.2 in 28 seconds; in a French press it tastes like baked apples.
How we brew it
Espresso: 18 g in, 40 g out, 28 seconds. Filter: 1:16, 93 °C, around 3 minutes. French press: 4 minutes, then wait another minute before pouring.
