introduction:
Prepare two cups with the same tool, from two different roasters…
One of them has a "tasty" flavor.
The second? It tastes bland or "murky."
What's the difference? Why are some crops clearer and cleaner than others?
In this article, we share with you the most important factors that determine the purity of coffee flavor.
1. Processing Method
🔹 Washed: They often have cleaner flavors, because the fruit is completely removed before drying.
🔹 Dried (Natural): It has stronger flavors, but it can be “confused” if not treated properly.
🔹 Lactic/Fermented: Its flavors are complex, but it does not suit all tastes.
🎯 If you want a "clear" cup — start with washed crops.
2. Roasting quality
🔥 Light roasting brings out more flavor details.
🌑 Dark roast is dominated by the roasting taste itself.
📌 Roasters that professionally balance roasting produce coffee with a clean and consistent taste.
3. Cleanliness of preparation and tools
-Clean filter?
-A tool that has no sediment?
-Pure water free of mineral taste?
✅ All these factors affect the “purity of the flavor.”
4. Grinding and extraction
⚙️ If the grinding is not consistent (fine and coarse pieces at the same time), you will have an unbalanced extraction.
⏱️ Extracting too fast or too slow can drown or burn the bait.
🎯 Use a fine grinder, and watch the timing.
5. Type of coffee and harvest quality
🌱 Some crops are carefully harvested and processed in small batches (Microlot).
💼 Some of them are from a mixture of farms or of lower quality - and here the taste is fluctuating
📌 A clean cup starts with planting... not just preparation.
✅ Conclusion:
Explain the flavor in the cup, not a stroke of luck...
It is the result of a sound choice and thoughtful preparation.
If you want a truly “clear” cup, try starting with a washed, light roast, and prepare it carefully.
