Coffland Corp: What's the Brewed Coffee Compass?

Using the compass will allow you to experience coffee in whole new way!

Coffee lovers are all around the world. Many of them started trying exceptional coffees at their preferred coffee shop and fell in love with the different qualities that came with every single presentation and brewing method they tried. That love often leads to an idea: “Why don’t I try to make this at home?”. They bring home different brew methods, quality coffee and then found themselves experimenting with the characteristics of their cups. That’s when things got all wrong. The flavors weren’t quite right or what they were expecting. But homebrewers have a magical aide that can turn those bitter experiences into experiences of success: the Brewed Coffee Compass.

The Brewed Coffee Compass method, created by Matt Perger, from Barista Hustle, is a way to ensure that the flavors you get are the ones you want to be in your cups. Using a cause-reaction process, it states the different relations between the brewing process and the flavor and characteristics you obtain in your cup. With a logical relationship per features and an easy-to-use image as a guide, it’s no wonder why this method has become the preferred one for home coffee brewers.

The Brewed Coffee Compass is a method that can be used with almost any method of brewing. The only exception is the espresso. Its preparation is unique, and the factors used to change and readjust the flavor and characteristics of each cup can not be modified in the espresso machines. With that settled, why don’t you learn how to apply this coffee compass method?

The first thing you need to do is to brew the coffee like you normally do. Then, with your fresh cup, devote some time to identifying the flavors and characteristics of your coffee. What’s the body? What about the acidity, bitterness, sweetness, and aftertaste? All of these features fall among the description of your coffee, and they will work as the center of your compass. Now you’ll have to make your brew belong to a particular category within the safe zone of the compass (that in the original coffee compass method is green and on the left).

To the right of the main compass is an asterisk containing the counterparts to the affectation of your flavor. Imagine your cup in the center. What do you need to do to put that center in the “balanced” area of the left diagram? You need to adjust your brewing preparation. There are basic things that can affect the flavor and you need to consider when making cups of coffee.

Grinding: It can affect the release (extraction) of flavors per cup. For example, finer grinds release more flavor than coarser grinds in short periods of time.
Brewing time: The time the coffee spends in contact with water creates a different flavor. Longer brewing time often leads to softer flavors.
Water rate: The proportion of water poured in a determined preparation for coffee will define the strength of the flavor.
