Brew Guide - Kenya Gachatha AA Filter

- The Gachatha washing cooperative has been a key partner for us in Kenya for the last five years. This year’s coffee truly shows the harmony of the notable high elevation terroir of the Nyeri mountainside and the longstanding talent of Kenya’s farming community. Processing mostly SL cultivars, you’ll notice an effervescent-like mouthfeel in the cup, which is a result of increased phosphoric acid content from this specific cultivar. This improves overall tactile and pushes fruit notes to the forefront.

*This coffee has a high acidity that did not lend itself to a particularly approachable espresso. As such, no recipe has been provided.
This is really good coffee I thought it was super interesting flavor. Thanks so much for the guide. I love the timer at the bottom so I could just brew along with the video.
I appreciate these brew guides alot, and the thorough explanations as to why you're doing what you're doing. I don't have access to Oynx coffees, but I've been matching up what I get from the local specialty roaster with coffees of similar origin/process here and they've all been delicious! This one included. Cheers!
Really love these videos and appreciate the details and info shared in each!
Thank you for doing these videos. Kind of sets you apart even more, because I feel more confident that I'm getting the best out of what I'm buying. Enjoying this one right now.
Please keep making this content, it's cool
Saw there wasn’t an espresso guide for this. Do y’all not recommend this on espresso? Or would the other Kenya Gachatha (OT?) be similar enough to use that as a rough guide?
Just picked up some of these beans, I've grounded at 17 on the Baratza Encore and draw time is close to 5mins. Any ideas?
This coffee is super interesting. I’m finding myself needing to grind reeeeeally fine to achieve the result in this recipe. Almost down to 20 on my Niche which is unheard of for a v60. And yet, that’s what it needs. Anyone know what about this particular roast/variety requires such a fine grind? Thanks! Love the videos as usual
It is quite a light coffee, which wants to drain quickly. 20 is still finer than we have used for the V60 as well, but we have only limited experience with the Niche. Have you calibrated yours, out of the box?
@@OnyxCoffeeLab thanks for the reply! My niche is calibrated, although it probably needs a clean. Either way, the grind ranges are what I’d expect for most other coffees. I guess my question had more to do with how the density, wash process, and bean contribute to grind size and where this coffee lies on that spectrum.
Just bought the Kenya Gathaithi AA and tried this recipe and yet was it was very sour and bitter/salty. I used a 10 on the Baratza Encore. Do you suggest a different grind/recipe for this bean? I thought it would be similar but flavor profile was not ideal. Thanks!
when i pour 250 g water i get 200 g coffee out, is it common or… seems like a lot of water gets stuck in the coffee bed?
My Kenya Kiringaya beans drain really fast (under 2 mins) using the same 20 click on C40 and it has astringency. Do you think it's a channeling issue? Should I grind finer?
If it’s under 2 minutes definitely grind finer. Even though there both beans from Kenya grind sizes can be different.
Having problems with this recipe. I’m at 3 on my ode with ssp burrs and still getting a total drain time of 2:30. I can pull manual espresso 9 bar shots at 2 on my grinder. Any suggestions?
The SSP burrs reduce the grind range by 200microns. I would still likely grind on 1 for the ssp Ode for this recipe. I'm quite surprised to hear that you are able to grind for espresso on the grinder as it's range is really not built for that. I would give 1-2 a try on grind setting for this V60.
