Gotiti, Ethiopia Speciality Single Origin: The Recipes

Espresso

As brewed by Senior Roaster, Ryan

"We ran our Gotiti, Ethiopia Speciality Single Origin Coffee on a Sage Barista Express Impress, so you may need to tweak your recipe slightly depending on your setup and personal taste, however the below is a great starting point.

16.5–17g of coffee
35–36g espresso yield
26–28 second extraction time

Grind settings between 9–11

For espresso, we found this coffee really benefited from a slightly tighter ratio and controlled extraction, helping to emphasise sweetness, creaminess and structure while keeping the brighter characteristics beautifully refined. The recipe brings out a silky, rounded profile with plenty of clarity, without pushing the acidity too aggressively.

With this recipe, the espresso leans into the summery, bright nostalgic notes of sherbet lemon, mango ice cream and delicate florals, supported by a buttery, creamy body and a sweet finish. The result is vibrant and expressive, yet smooth and balanced allowing the coffee’s juicy fruity character and fragrant florals to shine like the summer sun."

AeroPress Recipe

As brewed by Roastery Manager, Andrew.

"There’s something magical about a Natural Ethiopian coffee through an AeroPress. You get all the bright fruit, loads of sweetness, and a really juicy cup without it becoming too heavy.

This recipe has been my go-to for an Ethiopia natural on an AeroPress.

Recipe:

•              11g coffee

•              200g water

•              AeroPress

•              Medium-fine grind

•              93c

Using the slightly daring 'inverted' method - start by adding the coffee to the brew chamber, then pour all 200g of water fairly quickly. I found using a lower water temp tends to highlight brighter acidity and clearer tropical fruit notes, compared with water 96c or above. Give it a stir, pop the cap on with the filter, and let it steep for 2 minutes.

At 2 minutes, carefully flip into chosen carafe / mug (carefully) then press the plunger slowly until all coffee has passed through the filter. What works so well here is the lighter coffee dose and shorter ratio. It keeps the cup really vibrant and sparkling, which suits this coffee perfectly. The natural processing brings loads of tropical sweetness, while the AeroPress keeps the body silky and clean enough for those citrusy sherbet notes to really stand out.

The result is super juicy, really refreshing, and honestly tastes a bit like melted mango ice cream with a squeeze of lemon over the top."
