The Role of Water in the Coffee Process

Wednesday, April 25, 2018

From bean (seed) to cup water plays an extremely important role in the holistic coffee process.

On the farm, rain is one of the most important elements needed to grow healthy plants which will, in turn, produce excellent tasting coffee. In addition, rainwater gives the farmers the ability to harvest water to use throughout the dry season and in their nurseries.

During cupping, the process when we taste and analyze the quality of our coffee, we mix water with ground coffee, and if the water doesn't taste clean, it will disturb the flavor profile of the samples.

Then, while brewing coffee, there are specific scientific elements in water quality, such as pH and alkalinity, that need to be met in order to pull the perfect brew or espresso shot.

Conservation and awareness around the importance of clean water is something we don't take for granted as coffee roasters, blenders, and brewers.

Plus this week our online profits will go toward the Kobrick Canopy Tree Project...

At Kobrick Coffee we have great concern for the well-being of the environment and our earth. Sustainable and charitable business practices are very important to us. Our Canopy Tree Project is one of our cherished charitable efforts. When we plant a single tree on a coffee farm it grows to become:

• Natural habitat for animals and birds
• An opportunity for the coffee to pick up added flavor complexity from the fruit trees
• Enhanced flavor for the coffee because it matures slower in the shade
• A trap for runoff water which reduces soil erosion
• Refreshing fruit for the farmers and pickers on the coffee farm

This is a small list of the benefits. As we continue to move toward planting our first thousand fruit trees, we celebrate our beautiful earth and all of the pleasure it gives us every day. Cheers! #earthdayeveryday

Celebrating the Month of Earth Day with a focus on coffee at origin...

All coffee beans grow inside a coffee cherry. The evergreen coffee shrub flowers, then the flowers fall and green cherries develop, which turn bright red, or sometimes bright yellow, as they ripen.

When they are fully ripe they are ready to be hand picked. After picking, the coffee cherries are weighed at the closest designated weigh station. Pickers and farmers are paid for the weight of the cherries. Next, they are transported to the processing facility (many times separate from the farms). Most of the time each coffee cherry holds two beans (unless they are "peaberries" which are much less common, but form one rounded bean in each cherry).

Note: There are many variations to the process described here. This is a general overview of the life of the coffee cherries.

Celebrating the month of Earth Day with a focus on coffee at origin...

Over the past decade a few coffee processing methods have gained popularity. You may have heard these agriculture buzz words without knowing what they mean: Washed, Honey and Natural?

• Washed coffee looks clean & is usually pale green in color. This means that the coffee is washed in water and then dried, naked from its coffee cherry and pulp. This is the most common processing method. Most of our coffees are washed.
• Honey Process offers a cup that is not quite as fruity as natural, but very sweet. The coffee beans are depulped and then they are dried in the sweet mucilage that surrounds the bean, located inside the cherry's outer pulp. Try our Costa Rica Finca El Mirador Honey.
• Natural Process (dry process) the coffee cherry is left on the bean while it dries. This adds the natural fruit flavors from the cherry to the flavor of the coffee bean. (generally most eco-friendly) Try our Ethiopian Sidamo Guji.

In 1920, when Samuel Kobrick began roasting coffee on the waterfront of NYC, the city was blossoming with a romantic culture that built the foundation of energy New York City still emanates today. Creating a vibe that builds upon this at 24 Ninth Ave. was a natural fit for the Kobrick baristas, our products and our legacy. The lighting, in step with the music, coffee grinding, milk steaming, cocktail shaking sounds; builds an energy that is lively yet calming. All of our menu offerings are crafted with a passion and love for the experience of bringing together coffee and cocktails.

QUESTION

How do you brew coffee at the Kobrick House?

ANSWER

In our home kitchen we have a lot of coffee brewing options. Three of our favorite options are the Kalita, the French Press and the Chemex. Depending on the moment, each is a unique way to brew coffee, resulting in a different taste & experience.

When I'm in the mood to try a single origin, any time of day, the Kalita is a great option to brew with. The flat bottom pour over provides a perfected coffee steep time which brews a consistently clean cup and truly brings out the distinctive flavors in each selection.

The 6 cup Chemex is a nice option to enjoy a larger brew, great for a brunch or dinner party. The Chemex also offers a clean cup that highlights a particular origin or micro-lots special components. When we cook at home for friends and family, single origin coffees brewed in a Chemex pair well with the meal and dessert. (similar to wine pairing we choose a selection to go with our menu)

When we are having a family breakfast or are entertaining friends, we like brewing our blends in an 8 cup French Press. The French Press brews a full bodied cup of coffee that can create a heavier, bolder cup that stands out on its own. Also, we use the 8 cup French Press for cold brewing coffees overnight. We then pour the cold brew into a pitcher and store it in the refrigerator for a few days (if it lasts that long!).

We recommend alternating with these brewing methods because the fun is in experimenting and experiencing the variety in flavor that each offers.

We are celebrating National Coffee Day, September 29th, all week with free shipping online (for $30 or more) with coupon code COFFEEDAY17 through October 1, 2017.

QUESTION

What are your top tips for learning what you like as far as single origins are concerned?

ANSWER

Each origin offers a specific cup quality with many different flavors which is really special to drink by itself without having to blend with other coffees to balance it. It's nice to keep trying new origins and lots and stay open minded, because you never know when you'll come across your new personal favorite. We offer an amazing variety of single origin coffees from around the globe that have been selected for their excellent flavor and body and will satisfy the most discerning palate.

QUESTION

How long did it take to improve your palate to feel confident in your cupping skill required for purchasing coffee?

ANSWER

I cupped and graded every type of coffee I could as many times as possible with traders, and roasters every work day before I was confident enough with my palate to take a job as a commodity buyer/manager. It was only after that four year time until 1992 in the coffee industry, that I felt I was good enough to take on that position and started working with the Kobrick family in 1993. Since then, I have cupped and tasted the best coffees in the world and have been offering them to our wholesale and retail customers.

Through our Fair Trade Organic Brooklyn Blend we donate 15 cents per pound toward animal rescue group organizations in New York City. This month we will donate the funds to charities directly involved in hurricane relief.

We just returned from a trip to Costa Rica to plant fruit trees on coffee farms for our Canopy Tree Project. While on the ground we planted 150 citrus trees on 4 farms. These trees will provide a number of benefits, as well as begin a revolution which needs to progress within the coffee industry for a more sustainable future. During our trip an important discussion was in course around developing economically feasible environmental practices on coffee farms, taking a graceful turn toward holistic sustainability.

In addition to the big picture the little pieces all mean so much. Lets take one of the four farms to consider: Finca El Mirador is run by the Aguilar family. The family farm is run by a couple so passionate about their product. They understand the importance of shade and fruit trees within their plantation and had begun the process of implementing shade grown on their own. Their awareness of processing methods and quality as well as environmental impact are strong. As Cassandra (4th Generation) plucked a branch from a mature fruit tree and passed around the little black berries to each of us for a taste, we knew that in addition to the many earth friendly reasons we began this project, one simple one was shining through, sharing smiles, laughter and amazing moments which transcend borders!
