Roaster's Notes

We love drinking this coffee in any alternative brew application.

A few of our team members are espresso-only enthusiasts and they just adore using this Ethiopian filter style roast as their daily cup (which takes a bit of adjusting to extract on espresso duty).

Lighter roast levels result in the natural fruit elements intensifying.

It's important to expertly develop the bean during the roast without introducing roast notes so that all sourness or grassy notes are eliminated.

Filter coffee is the best way to enjoy the clarity and original characteristics developed by brewing the coffee with a clean extraction of the coffee oils.

Our Filter Roast is prepared on a specialized hand-roasted smaller platform - dedicated to precise filter roasting.

It will deliver a beautiful flavor, having a delicate acid balance without excessive citric or malic astringency.

Brew Recipe

Brew recipes are only intended as a rough and general guide. Always adjust recipe parameters to suit your own personal taste.

Dose - 19 grams

Yield - 39 grams

Time - 28 seconds

Ratio - 1 over 2.1

Guide - For espresso this coffee will take some adjustment to dial in as it's a full natural grade 1 that has been light roasted. Start coarse as the coffee blooms and swells far more than others which could lead to the shot choking.
Alternative brewers, this coffee is ideal and highly adaptable.

Description

Ethiopia Filter-Roast Coffee Beans

Our Ethiopia Filter roast is from the famous Sidamo Chire region.

We have selected a delicious washed lot, prepared on our specialized filter roast platform using a precise roast profile.

This Ethiopia Filter Roast displays an amazing toffe flavor with sweet lemon-lime and a buttery finish.

Suitable for all types of alternative brew methods and applications that require a lighter roast depth.

As a lighter roasted bean, it could be more suited to milk-based espresso (or dairy alternatives used in espresso) beverages.

The body and finish of lighter-roasted coffees may be less deep or rich than those of traditional medium or espresso roasts.

Lighter roasted coffees, generally called "filter style," are not as "soluble" when used for espresso brewing.

A lighter roasted coffee is more challenging to use in espresso situations.

However, if you own a high-quality grinder and espresso machine and have the skills to "dial in" an accurate grind and dose, espresso enthusiasts will be rewarded with the sweetest and most glorious extractions.

With deep roasting experience, we carefully prepare this filter-style coffee to reduce your effort in "chasing that god shot".

We have developed our filter-style roasts significantly to help reduce the usual frustrations many people experience with espresso extractions.

The results are exceptional.

Our Filter Roast is ideal for customers using contemporary or alternative brewing styles, such as Aeropress, Syphon, Moccamaster, Pour Over (such as a V60), or Cold Drip.

Why "Filter roast" is different from typical espresso roast

When roasting coffee for filter style, the profile is gentle, particularly in the "drying" phase in the early stage of the roast.

The middle section of the roast is similar to a medium or espresso roast, particularly mallard.

However, things take a different turn around 1st crack, and we prepare to exit the roast by carefully managing the heat and finish temperature.

Filter-style roasts are lighter in shade (colour) and will not have the same body as a medium or espresso roast.

In milk, a filter-style roast may lack flavour and finish. Acid levels are significantly higher, and some dairy alternatives may "react" adversely to these higher acids in the lighter roasted coffees.

If you add milk to your coffee, please consider one of our medium-roasted coffees, as they will perform better with dairy or dairy alternatives. You can see more of our Ethiopian coffee beans here.

mycuppa uses a full cast iron coffee roaster for maximum flavor and sweetness

Why our coffees are different

Our custom SUPA-ROASTA is a one-of-a-kind, fully cast-iron platform using the most advanced computer controls for ultra-precise roasting of the best-tasting coffees.
These days, complete cast-iron roasting systems are extremely rare. Only cast-iron platforms can impart that highly desirable soft, moist heat into the coffee beans.
Would the best chefs and BBQ experts cook their culinary delights on Stainless, Alloy or Mild Steel or Air ?
Nope, neither would we.
mycuppa's SUPA-ROASTA creates coffees with smooth, rich, high-flavoured tastes, full and syrupy body, fine acidity and of course our trademark long, sweet finish.
Nothing compares.

Why roasting with Cast Iron is best

how we roast your coffee

Roasting coffee is a precise science. These days, computer profiles perform most of the automated tasks for controlling a roast profile. However, through better quality control via tasting, testing and optimization, we can make a big difference to the finished product through setting special parameters.

mycuppa explains the delicate balance when roasting coffees for exceptional flavors

Roast Balance

Roast depth is a moving target for most coffee brands. It can depend upon the individual lot being roasted, ambient conditions (hot or cold) and the target brew application.

Our roast depth always targets medium (except for filter roast products that are roasted lighter).

Our medium-level roast is a combination of many factors, such as the balance of flavour, sweetness and acidity.

Roasting too far in one direction tends to pull or detract from other attributes.

Roast Profile

Our roast profile has evolved and optimized over the last 20 years.

Not much has changed in the last few years as the level of quality has essentially maintained at a consistently high range.

We roast for a medium level that takes all of the attributes into consideration - flavour, complexity, sweetness, acidity, body, aroma and finish.

Our roast profile could be described as carefully cautious - unwilling to push into zones that create an unbalanced cup taste.

Colour

Roast color is an outdated metric which no longer applies to quality coffees.

The external color of a roasted coffee bean bares little resemblance to how that coffee was actually roasted.

In the past, coffee was segmented as light, medium or dark. But those motifs did not sufficiently encompass the number of variations possible.

The external shade of a roasted coffee is more influenced by the brix (sugars) of the bean, e.g. higher brix levels may present or display darker shades of brown when roasted.

The processing method also plays a role in determining the final colour. Washed coffees are darker in shade, as are Decaf coffees, while naturals display a lighter and mottled appearance.

The roast profile also impacts the finished colour. A lighter-colored coffee may have been roasted poorly, having baked or stalled with darker internal colours.

Similarly, a lighter external color might hide the darker internals from scorching or rapid roasting using an invalid profile.

Dark does not mean stronger. In fact, dark is weaker as acid and caffeine levels decline.

Acidity

Acidity is perhaps one of the most complex and mis-understood attributes of roasted coffee.

Acidity is a fundamental requirement for flavor, in fact acidity is the pathway of flavor compounds.

Customers often ask for low—or zero-acid coffees. However, those coffees with very low acidity typically display dull, mediocre, and boring cup elements.

Australian coffee drinkers are predominantly milk or dairy alternative drinkers. In fact 93% of coffee drinkers add something else to the coffee besides sugar.

Acids are mostly grouped as citric or malic. When coffee is roasted well, the acidity should result in delicious sweetness.

However, the extraction or brew process can also affect the taste.

Whole bean coffee stays fresher for much longer than ground coffees

Ground coffee is poor value

Whole beans are the only way to enjoy freshly roasted coffee.

The moment coffee beans are ground, most of the essential, active compounds in ground coffee oxidize rapidly, losing vitality, aroma, flavour and body.

Ground coffee barely lasts 15 minutes; even sealed packs lose more than 80% of the critical essence in 2 weeks.

Unfortunately, once you open and close that pack, it's game over, and the ground coffee continues to stale at 20x the rate of whole beans inside of a sealed, unopened pack.

If you love coffee, please don't waste money buying pre-ground packs; you only get a small part of the wonderful coffee experience.

Buy a decent grinder and purchase whole beans; it makes a huge difference in aroma, flavour, and enjoyment.

Such great value

Clean, sweet, fruity and well balanced.

Hit the spot

After trying so many other brands and their light roasts, some have no idea. Often the coffee is under developed or sour or too acidic it strips your tongue. This filter roast was spot on.

All ticks.

So I became more and more impressed with this coffee the longer I used it. At first, I thought the roast was a fraction darker than I liked, but there were zero roasty notes in the brew. Tick. Then the flavors were popping like crazy. Tick. Sweetnes, acidity, fruit. Tick, tick, tick. What impressed me the most was the prodigous body. Double tick.

Cold brewer

Delicious light roast for cold brew. Do recommend

God shots

Often struggled to get good espresso shots using the lighter roast coffee. Not this one, it was so easy to dial in and that meant less waste. Flavors are great.
