Savage Vivid

Starting as a natural carbonic macerated composition, the coffee is then washed in it’s final wet stage. A hybrid, balancing two diverse processes while still embracing many of the cherished characteristics of a washed composition. One of the most complex coffees in our catalog.

Brewing Instructions

To fully express Savage Coffees’ potential we recommend brewing them with care and attention to details.

Water

Water makes up 90 to 98.5% of brewed coffee. It’s important to use only fresh, filtered and soft water to fully extract flavors & keep your equipment reliable for years. We recommend the following water parameters:

• TDS 70-120 ppm
• pH = 7.0
• General hardness level <4°dH
• Brewing temperature: 94-96°C / 201.2-204.8°F
• Use filtered or low mineral content spring water

Brewing Tips

• After opening keep your beans in air-tight container. Do not keep them refrigerated.
• Our coffees taste great in wide range of brewing methods (pour over, immersion, batch brew, espresso.)
• For espresso, always flush the group head before extracting the coffee, and for filter brewing rinse paper filter in your brewer with hot water prior to extracting the coffee.
• Grinding setup will vary depending on the method of extraction & desired cup profile.
• For espresso we recommend using precision baskets & shower screens for optimal extraction.
