About Burundi Shikankoni...

Since gaining independence in 1962, Burundi has steadily emerged as a serious contender in the specialty coffee world. In recent years, rising and stabilised coffee prices in neighbouring Rwanda have helped shine a spotlight on Burundi's unique potential. This year, we selected two lots of the Bourbon variety from Shikankoni Hill – Lot 6 and Lot 7 – our favourites, both with standout clarity and complexity on the cupping table. Grown by smallholder farmers committed to producing exceptional coffee, these lots reflect the strength of a longstanding partnership with the Cafex Wet Mill and the Ikawa Nziza dry mill, Burundi’s first purpose-built facility designed specifically for processing microlots and championing specialty coffee production.

Recipes

Espresso: 20g dose of coffee to make 50g of espresso in 26-30s. This makes a double shot.

Filter: We like to use V60 for this coffee:

Add a filter paper to the V60 and pre-wet the filter paper under the tap. Heat your kettle – we find 93°C water works best.

Add 22g of medium-coarse sized coffee grounds to the V60 and place it on your cup (350ml capacity minimum). Set your cup onto some scales and set their reading to zero.

Shake the V60 to level the grounds, start a timer, and gently pour 66g of water in concentric circles on top of the coffee grounds.

After 45 seconds, pour more water in concentric circles onto the coffee until the scale weight reaches 250g. This pour should finish at 1 minute.

At 1 minute 30 seconds, pour the last of the water in concentric circles onto the coffee until the scale weight reaches 350g.

Give the brewer a gentle swirl and wait for all the water to pass through the coffee into your cup before removing the V60 and enjoying.

The best recipe for any coffee depends on the equipment, water and preparation being used to make it. We encourage you to experiment and fine tune our suggestions to your preferences.
