Method
- Rinse a cloth filter with boiling water and warm the serving pot and cups.
- Bring the water to a boil and let it cool for about 45 seconds; Liberica’s aromatic oils can taste burnt under prolonged boiling.
- Place the grounds in the filter and pour just enough water to wet them. Wait 30 seconds for the coffee to bloom.
- Pour the remaining water slowly in three additions, keeping the coffee bed wet but not flooded.
- Let the final water drain fully without squeezing the filter, which pushes bitter sediment into the cup.
- Stir the brewed coffee before dividing it between cups so the strength is even.
- Taste black, then add a small amount of muscovado or evaporated milk if preferred.
