Front Street Coffee ships coffee beans that are roasted within 5 days, because Front Street knows that the freshness of coffee beans has a great impact on flavor. Front Street Roasters 'motto is "Fresh Roast Good Coffee", so that every customer who orders coffee receives the freshest coffee. Coffee has a growing period of 4-7 days, so when the customer gets it, the flavor is at its best.

Filter cups are generally selected from these models, V60 filter cups, kalita fan and Kono. Front Street Coffee is mainly brewed in Kono filter cups for display. Front Street Coffee chose Kono filter cup mainly considering that Blue Mountain Coffee chose the degree of roasting of deep roasting, high temperature is easy to lead to over-extraction, so Front Street Coffee chose 86℃ in water temperature. If at this temperature, the use of V60 filter cups or other filter cups with faster flow rates can easily lead to insufficient extraction, while Kono's ribs are few and short, which can isolate the gap between the filter paper and the filter cup, increase the residence time of the water flow, and have the function of soaking. Therefore, combining the results of all brewing parameters, Front Street Coffee finally chose Kono filter cups.

Brewing method, the use of the former street coffee staged extraction, that is, three-stage water injection method. Steaming with 30g water for 30s. The first stage of small water flow was filled to 125g. When the liquid level was about to expose the powder layer, the second stage of water injection was continued.

The reason why this situation occurs is that the early Blue Mountain coffee is rare and expensive. According to the flavor of Blue Mountain, the operator uses mixed beans and deep roasting to spell coffee close to Blue Mountain taste. Therefore, the conscientious merchants in the domestic and foreign markets will tell customers that this is a comprehensive Blue Mountain, a blend of Blue Mountain, Blue Mountain flavor and Blue Mountain coffee beans, not a real Blue Mountain coffee. True Blue Mountain and Blue Mountain flavor are two different concepts, generally using other beans to roast out of imitation of Blue Mountain coffee taste similar coffee. The beans of "Blue Mountain Match" are mixed, and the shapes are relatively different, which is easy to identify. Also don't believe dozens of dollars a pound of the best blue mountain, more than ten dollars a cup of blue mountain coffee.
