Over the weekend, I bought some single origin specialty coffee beans, honey processed. I did use the beans with my V60 and it was delicious.
I left the filter on my counter top for a few hours and when I went to throw it away I noticed a strong bourbon smell, it was a delicious smell.
I wonder if I could make my coffee taste like that. What is going on here? Are there techniques to make honey processed coffee like bourbon taste?
Really appreciate the insights!
There’s defintely more where that came from. Try finding naturally processed or anaerobic coffees, or coffees with some more exotic fermentations.
Tasting notes to look out for are wine or rum, or things like ripe tropical fruit, that kind of stuff.
Some processes can have alcohol notes, due to fermentation. Like Carbonic Maceration coffee. Some natural and honey too but it depends, they’re less funky than cm or anaerobics. Then there’s also barrel aged coffees, typically in rhum barrels. It’s more like they’re flavored this way. They’re more common toward Christmas
