Recipe
Espresso: 1:1.85 grams-in-to-grams-out over 30 seconds. For example: if you use 20g of dry ground coffee, you want to extract 37g of espresso over 30 seconds.
Recommended for use
1. Espresso Machine
Grind Fine | Coffee 18-22g | Espresso 36-40g | Brew time 25-35 sec
Put 18-22g of ground coffee in the filter basket and level out the coffee using the index finger. Tamp - level and even. Engage the portafilter onto the machine and start brewing immediately. Extract out 36g-40g at 25-30 seconds, add water or milk to taste.
Tip: Adjust grind size to control flow rate. If too acidic grind finer, if harsh or bitter grind coarser
2. Stove Top
Grind Medium
Fill the basket to the edge with coffee grinds, do not tamp. Pour hot water into the lower chamber up to below the release valve and seal tight. Place on a medium heat - it should not spit when brewing. Keep the flame to the width of the stove top. Do not allow it to protrude to allow for stead extraction.
Tip: Use the flame level to control the brewing, if the coffee spits while brewing, lower heat.
3. French Press
Grind Coarse
Pre heat the flask with boiling water by swirling the water around. Then add coarse coffee and weigh an amount of your choosing per cup you are desiring pour. Stir with a spoon to allow all the grounds to soak and press the mesh down to allow the coffee to sit just below the water. Wait 4 minutes then fully press the mesh down.
Tip: Pour all the liquid out in into cups or another vessel to prevent over extraction.
Origin Story
Humdinger was created at the inception of Hark. Everyone desires a consistent, easy to brew chocolatey coffee. Humdinger refers to that perfect balance.
While origins are always having to change with the seasonality of crops. The flavour profile has always been the goal.
Thanks to our air roasting technology we have also made it easy to brew and consistently satisfying both the cafe and home brewer.
