Fellow's Take on Scruffy City Darker Blend by K Brew | Brew Recipe

By

Fondly named after the roaster’s charming hometown of Knoxville, Tennessee, this robust roast is a blend of washed coffees from Cajamarca, Peru, and Papua New Guinea's Kolum Opints and Wet Mill, located in the Banz area of the Waghi Valley.

We tasted nutty notes of almond, sorghum, and chocolate.

🌎 Origin: Papua New Guinea + Peru

⚗️ Process: Washed

🔬 Variety: Catimor, Caturra, Bourbon, Typica, Arusha

⛰️ Elevation: 1,400–1,900 MASL

🔥 Roast: Medium-Dark

Note: K Brew suggests 7-14 days off roast as peak time for brewing this coffee!

Grind Guidance

Start in the middle of your espresso range on your grinder, and Series 1 will tell you to go finer or coarser after your shot pulls. It is expected that you might need to adjust based on your specific variables (i.e. location, climate, water mineral content, etc.). Small adjustments go a long way!
