01 · STORY

Origin & culture

Huila sits in Colombia’s Andes, shaped by small farms and varied microclimates. Its caramel, nut and chocolate notes, grounded sweetness and rounded acidity make it an excellent pour-over benchmark.

Huila is not one flavor template: northern lots may lean cocoa and nuts, while higher southern coffees can show red fruit and florals. This three-pour recipe targets balanced washed lots where sweetness, acidity and body coexist.

02 · METHOD

Professional home recipe

This open recipe is designed for home equipment. Adjust extraction slightly for your beans, water and machine.

Coffee-to-water
15 g : 240 g · 1:16
Water temperature
92°C
Total brew time
2:35–2:50

Method

  1. Prepare

    Rinse the filter, grind medium-fine and use a 1:16 ratio.

  2. Bloom

    Pour 45 g and wait 30 seconds; gently swirl fresh coffee to release gas.

  3. Three pours

    Pour to 120 g, 180 g and 240 g, waiting for the bed to fall halfway each time; finish near 2:40.

03 · VARIATIONS

Barista variations

Stabilize the standard recipe first, then use these controlled changes to tune sweetness, body and aroma. Each variation explains both the change and its effect.

01

Immersion-sweet

With a Switch, close after bloom, pour to 240 g, release at 1:45 and finish near 2:30. Immersion stabilizes caramel sweetness and body.

02

Afternoon café au lait

Brew with 200 g water, then add 45–55 g milk at about 55°C. Extra strength carries milk and amplifies chocolate-nut notes.

04 · CALIBRATION

Troubleshooting

If it tastes

Flat and weak

Adjust the next cup

Grind slightly finer while keeping water constant; reducing water raises strength, not necessarily sweetness.

If it tastes

Woody, dry finish

Adjust the next cup

Use fewer circles in the final pour and finish 10–15 seconds earlier; grind coarser if brew exceeds 3:00.
