Is there a difference in flavor between large and small particles in Ethiopian coffee beans?

In order to verify this problem, Xiao Bian decided to directly select two sets for comparison. Take washed Sidamo G1 as an example, distribute and select coffee beans with obvious difference in size, adopt the same brewing parameters and techniques, and conduct blind test by many people to judge whether there is any difference in flavor between large particles and small particles.

Brewing parameters:

Abrasion: BG4E

Water temperature:90 degrees

Powder water ratio: 1:15

The method of brewing: the first time of water injection 30g, stewing 30s, the second time of water injection 104g water cut off, the second time of water injection to 225g water, extraction time about 2 minutes;

Blind testing process...

Okay, I know people are anxious to know the results, so skip the process and let's just say there's a difference.

After consistent analysis, we blind test all obviously feel that small particles of washed Sidamo G1, in the flavor of sweet sense, while large particles of washed Sidamo G1, is obviously sour. Both flavor levels and richness are significantly thinner than normal (blended), while larger coffee beans tend to be sour, believed to be due to lighter roasting. As for the more obvious differences…none.

Final summary:

In fact, no matter Ethiopia or Brazil, Indonesia, these coffee producing areas with defect rate as grading system will have obvious unevenness in the particle size of coffee beans, especially after roasting, different coffee varieties have different roasting expansion rates, which will enlarge the difference between coffee beans particles. However, it is the uneven particle size that causes the slight difference in roasting degree, which also makes the layering and richness of coffee more obvious. Therefore, don't stick to the difference of too much surface, there must be gain, the variety of mixed and uneven particle size, is the reason for the formation of rich flavor and colorful aroma of Ethiopian coffee.
