Origami Air Origami by Carlos Medina

Carlos Medina used this Origami Air and Cafec-filter recipe to win the 2023 World Brewers Cup. Four pours decrease in size to manage extraction and agitation, 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 the declining pours smooth and evenly spaced at 30s; preserve the low brewing temperature and adjust grind before changing the pour pattern.
