There’s nothing like starting your day with the perfect cup of coffee. Whether you prefer bold, smooth, or refreshing flavors, using the right brewing method makes all the difference. With Cordillera Brew Coffee, you can find the ideal brewing method to suit your taste. This guide will show you four popular ways to brew your coffee at home and which of our blends pair best with each method.
Why Fresh Coffee Matters
Using fresh beans, like those from Cordillera Brew Coffee, ensures that you’re getting the best possible flavor with each cup. Fresh beans retain their natural oils, aroma, and unique tasting notes, making every brew richer and more vibrant.
Method #1: French Press
Best for: Full-bodied, strong coffee lovers. Recommended Bean: Single Origin Ifugao Robusta
The French Press produces a rich, bold coffee with a full body. Its metal filter allows coffee oils and fine particles to pass through, enhancing the texture.
How to Brew:
Coarsely grind your Single Origin Ifugao Robusta beans.
Add 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 oz of water.
Pour hot (not boiling) water over the coffee, stir, and let it steep for 4 minutes.
Slowly press down the plunger and serve.
This method brings out the bold, chocolatey notes of the Ifugao Robusta for a strong, robust flavor.
Method #2: Pour Over
Best for: Clean, smooth coffee with bright acidity. Recommended Bean: Single Origin Benguet Arabica
Pour Over brewing gives you greater control over extraction, resulting in a clean, crisp cup with a smooth finish. It’s perfect for showcasing the delicate, floral flavors of the Benguet Arabica.
How to Brew:
Use a medium grind for your Benguet Arabica beans.
Pre-wet the filter in the dripper.
Add 1 tablespoon of coffee per 6 oz of water.
Pour hot water slowly in a circular motion, allowing the coffee to "bloom" for 30 seconds.
Continue pouring until you've reached the desired amount.
The Benguet Arabica shines with its floral, fruity notes when brewed through Pour Over.
Method #3: Drip Coffee
Best for: Quick, convenient coffee without sacrificing flavor. Recommended Bean: Artisan Blend
Drip Coffee makers are perfect for fast, convenient brewing, and the Artisan Blend delivers a rich, balanced cup with hints of nuts and chocolate.
How to Brew:
Use a medium-fine grind for your Artisan Blend.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 oz of water.
Let your drip coffee maker work its magic!
Enjoy a smooth, satisfying brew that works for any time of day.
Method #4: Cold Brew
Best for: Smooth, less acidic coffee with a rich, mellow flavor. Recommended Bean: Baguio Blend
Cold Brew is a great way to enjoy coffee with lower acidity and a smooth, rich finish. The Baguio Blend is perfect for this method, offering balanced, nutty flavors.
How to Brew:
Coarsely grind your Baguio Blend beans.
Use 1 cup of coffee grounds for every 4 cups of water.
Mix coffee and water in a jar and let it steep in the fridge for 12-24 hours.
Strain the coffee and serve over ice.
The result is a refreshing cold brew that’s perfect for warm days or an afternoon pick-me-up.
