Origami Air S Origami by Carlos Medina

Carlos Medina used this Origami Air and conical-filter recipe to win the 2023 World Brewers Cup. Five equal 50g pours, spaced every 30 seconds, make the routine repeatable while shaping his natural Colombian Sidra into a sweet, clean, highly defined cup.

Notes

Use a natural coffee with high aromatic clarity, as Medina did with Sidra from Finca Potosi. Keep all five equal pours smooth and evenly spaced every 30s; preserve the low brewing temperature and adjust grind before changing the pour pattern.
