How to Make Juan Valdez Volcan Dark Roast Coffee

Making a cup of Juan Valdez Volcán Dark Roast Coffee is a simple process that involves brewing the coffee grounds using your preferred method. Below is a step-by-step guide to help you prepare a delicious cup of this premium Colombian dark roast coffee.

Ingredients and Tools:

  • Juan Valdez Volcán Dark Roast Coffee grounds

  • Fresh, cold water

  • Coffee maker (drip coffee maker, French press, pour-over, or any preferred method)

  • Coffee filter (if required by your brewing method)

  • Coffee mug

  • Optional: Milk, cream, sugar, or sweetener (to taste)

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Measure the Coffee and Water:

  • Use 1 to 2 tablespoons of Juan Valdez Volcán Dark Roast Coffee grounds per 6 ounces (180 ml) of water. Adjust the amount based on your taste preference (stronger or milder).

2. Prepare Your Coffee Maker:

  • If using a drip coffee maker, place a filter in the basket and add the measured coffee grounds.

  • For a French press, add the coffee grounds directly to the press.

  • For a pour-over, place a filter in the dripper and rinse it with hot water to remove any paper taste. Discard the rinse water and add the coffee grounds.

3. Heat the Water:

  • Heat fresh, cold water to just below boiling (around 195–205°F or 90–96°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, bring the water to a boil and let it sit for 30 seconds.

4. Brew the Coffee:

  • Drip Coffee Maker: Start the machine and let it brew.

  • French Press: Pour the hot water over the coffee grounds, stir gently, and place the lid on with the plunger up. Let it steep for 4 minutes, then press the plunger down slowly.

  • Pour-Over: Pour a small amount of hot water over the grounds to let them bloom (30 seconds). Then, pour the remaining water in a slow, circular motion until the desired amount is reached.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

  • Pour the brewed coffee into your mug.

  • Add milk, cream, sugar, or sweetener if desired.

  • Savor the rich, bold flavors of Juan Valdez Volcán Dark Roast Coffee!

Tips for the Best Cup:

  • Use freshly ground coffee for the best flavor. If you have whole beans, grind them to a medium-coarse consistency for most brewing methods.

  • Store your coffee in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture to preserve its freshness.

  • Experiment with the coffee-to-water ratio to find your perfect strength.
