If you are aiming for high flavor intensity and a heavy body, extract the coffee for a shorter time, i.e., towards 1:1.8. If you want to balance the coffee a bit more and highlight some caramel notes, you can aim for 1:2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe developed and optimized this recipe using the following equipment:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca title=\"Finding the right coffee water\" href=\"https:\/\/kaffeemacher.ch\/blogs\/weiteres-kaffeewissen\/das-richtige-kaffeewasser-die-kaffeewasser-anleitung\"\u003eWater\u003c\/a\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e Total hardness 5 °dH, alkalinity 3 °dH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMachine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maro Model 1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrinder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eureka Single Dose Pro\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/ymmt9BI4JZI?si=z4Gpp0MAmeCp7oEr\u0026amp;vq=hd1080\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur interpretation of an Italian espresso\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Italian espresso\" is often understood as short, strong, and roasty. In our \u003ca title=\"Italian espresso\" href=\"https:\/\/kiffeemacher.com\/blogs\/kaffeewissen\/bester-italienischer-espresso\/\"\u003etests\u003c\/a\u003e, we found that there is no single \"Italian espresso\": the roasts and composition of the blends were too varied. With our interpretation, we bring together things that are important to us: transparently traded specialty coffees, purchased through our partners at Farmers Coffee in Espírito Santo, produced by family farms. Dark roasted with a focus on body and strong notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy does the Compadre taste the way it does?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 50% Conilon-Robusta gives the Compadre a heavy body and strong, spicy, dark chocolate notes. The 50% Arabica from the mountains of Castelo balances the Compadre. Nutty notes and a soft texture bring harmony to the cup. We don't roast any other coffee as dark as the Compadre, emphasizing its classic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTell me more about the Compadre Espresso\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether with Farmers Coffee, we visited Arabica farms at 1,200 meters and Conilon farms at 80 meters above sea level in Espírito Santo. The topography is impressive, and so is the history. Espírito Santo has a history heavily shaped by immigration. Many Italian families immigrated at the end of the 19th century, worked in coffee production, and gradually took over coffee farms. The two families contributing their coffee to the Compadre also have Italian roots: the Romãos produce their pulped natural Arabica in the mountainous region around Castelo, while the Magieros produce their pulped natural Conilon in the plains of São Mateus in northern Espírito Santo. If you like, a very large, historical circle closes here: the coffee from two families with Italian roots now lands in an espresso based on the Italian model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do we roast this coffee?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe opted for a medium-long and hot roast. We roast the Henrique or Apas espresso for slightly longer, but with the Compadre, we reach the highest end temperature on our roaster. With this high end temperature, we emphasize the roastier, stronger notes. We end the roast just before the second crack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eImport coffee details into Beanconqueror:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/beanconqueror.com\/?qr=49279632\" style=\"min-width: 165px; background-color: #f8f6f4 !important; height: 50px; border-radius: 12px; font-size: 18px; font-weight: Normal; border: none; padding: 0px 12px; line-height: 27px; text-decoration: none !important; display: inline-flex !important; align-items: center; font-family: inherit, cursive !important; -webkit-box-sizing: border-box !important; box-sizing: border-box !important;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/beanconqueror.com\/assets\/logo_round.svg\" style=\"height: 32px!important; width: 32px!important;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"margin-left: 8px; display: inline-block; line-height: 0; width: 100%; flex-shrink: 0; color: #000000;\"\u003eImport Bean\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Van Gülpen","offers":[{"title":"250g","offer_id":52231208141064,"sku":"Compadre250g","price":9.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000g","offer_id":52231208173832,"sku":"Compadre1kg","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0406\/3343\/4269\/files\/COMPADRE.webp?v=1783672326","url":"https:\/\/kiffeemacher.com\/en\/products\/compadre","provider":"kiffeemacher.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
