fresh, easy to read
perfect when combined with milk (it makes it smoother)
It surprised me; I like it a little better than DAK's Milky Cake
You take a sip, close your eyes, and a single word slips out: pure pleasure
It was a limited edition... It's no longer available

I think I've reached my limit here. As a coffee lover who absolutely refuses to become a "coffee snob"—because I'll never go so far as to measure the water temperature, for example—I probably couldn't get the best out of these beans. So, for me, it's just average.

Light roasting
High-quality green coffee
What they write as notes really smells like blueberries and white chocolate.
Not easy to extract, poor extraction = mud
Wants a different approach than the conventional one
It needs high-quality equipment for good extraction.
Recipe
Recipe Preparation method: Orea V4 fast bottom and Flat Orea filter Coffee (g): 15
Water (g): 250 Water temperature: 93 Grinder (setting): Pietro Pro Brew 8.5 Process: First pour 3x the input weight of 45 grams and bloom for 1 minute, second bloom the same, pour another 45 grams of water and wait another minute. Then use a melodrip to pour the rest of the water at once.

It needs a really long bloom so that it doesn't get muddy. Ethiopian coffees are known for producing more fine particles and clogging filters, so keep that in mind and use good quality filters (Cafec T90 or red Abaca).

Does not recommend
I prepared the coffee using a V60, but the extraction was very slow and the filter easily became clogged with fine particles. The resulting cup was rather flat and lacked the distinctive fruity flavor I would expect from Yirgacheffe. I haven't managed to find a good recipe yet :(
Recipe
Preparation method: V60 Coffee (g): 20g Water (g): 320
Water temperature: 94 Grinder (setting): 26 clicks on Commandante Process: Bloom 60 g (40 s), then pour to 180 g and 320 g, gentle swirl. Total extraction time ~3:50, very slow drain, filter clogged with fines.
