Hey guys, this is Håkan from The Brew Journal! 👋 I got the chance to play around with El Rubí using my stainless steel version of the Kalita! This is washed variety blend consisting of Castillo, Caturra and Colombia, produced by the El Rubí community in Planadas, Tolima. Now, I’ve used the Kalita 185 as I think that it gives a reasonable bed depth when using doses of 20g +.

This coffee was so good I had to share it, so my recipe today is for a total brew volume of 400 ml. I used a Torch Mountain Dripper which is my go-to brewer for bigger recipes. It provides a relatively fast draw down and rarely chokes, and it really brought out the beautiful sweetness in this coffee!...

Hey everybody! Håkan from The Brew Journal here, today I’m going to share my recipe for La Guaca from Swerl using one of my favourite brewers: The April Brewer.
