Espresso brewing for El Salvador coffees
El Salvador is know for its mild, rounded, smooth tactile mouthfeel.
Medium body and low to medium acidity.
The Coffee often range from Bourbon, Catuai, Pacamara or Pacs varieties.
I will recommend to extract the coffee between 29-31 sec. with a long extraction time highlighting sweetness and smooth aftertaste.
You can also try to brew it at 27-29 sec. But I find the body is more intense with a longer extraction time.
