Slow revolution
A revolution is brewing in the Western world... a coffee revolution! New brewing methods are being discovered, old ones rediscovered. The roots of this revolution can be found in the "third wave" movement and its slipstream: the specialty coffees. Specialty coffees are high quality products that can usually be traced back to their origins. The focus throughout the entire production chain is on quality. From terroir and processing methods to Agtron and brewing methods -the quality of these aspects is all-important if the subtleties of specialty coffees are to be tasted.
The method of espresso brewing is, however, not ideally suited to these coffees. In fact, the most exciting coffees with high acidity levels present themselves more favourably on the cupping table than in an espresso cup. Slow Coffee (filter) brewing appliances such as Hario, Chemex, Hikari etc., allow you to taste coffee like you never tasted it before.
