Details
Expand your selection of specialty coffees with this Steady State Roasting Gore Kone single origin whole bean coffee! Sourced exclusively from the Sidama region of Ethiopia, Gore Kone is comprised of mixed heirloom coffee varietals that are grown between 1,800-2,100 meters above sea level. This coffee is processed at the Gore Kone washing station, which supports the livelihoods of 700-800 small family-owned farms in the West Arsi Zone. Gore Kone coffee is washed, meaning the coffee beans have the cherry removed before they are dried. The washing process prevents fruit fermentation during drying, delivering an unadulterated, clean, and crisp flavor profile that lets the beans' character shine through. After processing, Steady State roasts the green coffee beans to a light roast level to promote sweetness and complexity in the cup. The final result is a balanced, fruity coffee with crisp complexity and tasting notes of acai, key lime, and peach. Gore Kone embodies all the bright and fruity character of washed Ethiopian coffee and is a true crowd-pleaser!
This coffee's whole bean format allows for flexible preparation options to suit the needs of your establishment. For a French press preparation that brings out the complexity of this roast, grind the coffee coarsely and pour just enough water 30 seconds off a boil (205 degrees Fahrenheit) over the beans to saturate all the grounds. Allow this slurry to bloom for 30 to 40 seconds before filling your French press all the way and allowing it to steep for 3 to 4 minutes before plunging. For a perfect pour-over, grind the beans to a medium-fine consistency, then simply pour water 30 seconds off a boil (205 degrees Fahrenheit) over them. You can prepare this coffee in commercial brewers to create large batches, or offer it in an individual pour-over coffee maker for an individualized artisan experience. To truly highlight Gore Kone's fruit-forward sweetness and cocoa notes, grind this coffee to an extra-fine consistency and use it to pull espresso shots or to make AeroPress coffee. No matter how you choose to prepare it, Gore Kone is ideal for everyday drinking and elevated coffee ceremonies alike!
