This is extremely helpful and informational. I’m going to Nicaragua to experience the coffee culture with a friend and this is giving me a great foundation to build upon. Thanks!
I have received a very beautiful message of love and harmony while watching this, i actually just received lightly roasted Nicaraguan beans that i am going to brew in the morning, cant wait! I got the Pedregales from Roadmap roasters!
Awesome video! I think you overdid it with the music, especially for a informational video like this, but great content! What’s the day to day coffee situation like for travelers? Is it easy to get a good cup of coffee at small restaurants etc?
Oh thanks! Do you mean the music is too loud or you think it shouldn't be there at all? I thought it would be too dull without it. I'm not sure at the moment how the day to day cafe scene is but it was about $2.5 for a cappuccino. But they drink a more filter-like coffee mostly rather than espresso. Thanks again!
@@jeftesantiago Oooh thats hard to say! I love exploring the different coffee regions so much! I do have a small fondness for Ethiopian just because I love citrus and bright coffees. But for milk coffees, I love Central and South American regions. How about yours? What's your favourite region? Where are you located?
All cities in Nicaragua have street names, Normally numbered. They just don’t have street signs (only major street names and all highways are well-signaled) and address are just like you said it.
@@Rydecoffeecoachpretty much. 🤣, just in some wealthy neighborhoods in Managua use the old address system (until 1972), which was modeled after Miami. On the other hand, the Government is trying to put the departamental highways 🛣 shield signs on every road (NIC-1, 2 etc, or NN-10 etc). If you go to Google or Apple Maps, Managua and all Nicaraguan cities have street names. They are just numbered (1 Calle Suroeste & 2 Avenida Noroeste, SW 1st St & NW 2nd Avenue) etc.
lot's of words no info, what coffee is good for espresso, why they are so acidic, can you do smthn abt it at home? during brewing? what grind is best? temp? and so on, this is the things I'm interested in when I type Nicaragua espresso. And yes I would never ever bought Nicaraguan coffee more than once but I am in Nicaragua so looking for a ways to drink it. Bad taste and expensive. Any cheap brasilian arabica whoops it's a$$😜 Don't buy - my recommendation
Heya, I'm sorry you didn't like my video. It's hard to capture absolutely everything in a 10min video but I can help you a bit here now. In terms of being acidic, I want to clarify terms: Acidic vs acidity. Nicaragua generally speaking has a more mild acidity (brightness - like how sparkling water makes your tongue tingle). Coffee is slightly acidic in general (~4.5pH) but that's not that much higher than a tomato. It doesn't change that much between varieties. So what I'm thinking you're referring to (and correct me if I've got it wrong) is some sensations that make you feel it's acidic. Check if it's Robusta coffee, you need to look for Arabica coffee as it's more naturally sweet. Check if it's grown in the highlands or lowlands, you want SHG (strictly high grown) as that makes the coffee sweeter. Check if it's a medium roast, light will be acidic if you make espresso style coffees. You might prefer dark roast as it's the traditional style, but I find it too butter and burnt for my liking. Medium roasts taste the best in my opinion. Temperature of brew should be 94C/201F for medium roast, higher for light roast and lower for dark. I hope this helps.
Mostly an informative video but the music is extremely distracting and much too loud. Also too many superlatives. Had to bail part way thru as the music was increasingly annoying.

He - no - teh - gah…Jinotega
Of course! I should have realised the J is pronounced H. 🙌 Thanks so much! 😊
Nice informative video, keep going with the informational content.
Thank you Jefté! 🙏 What other things would you like to learn about? Please let me know. 👌👍
@@Rydecoffeecoach Same thematic but other Origins.
@@jeftesantiago awesome, I'll be doing lots more videos on each region around the world as it opens up again and we can travel. 👌
@@Rydecoffeecoach Awesome, I’am exited. What is your favorite origin?
@@jeftesantiago Oooh thats hard to say! I love exploring the different coffee regions so much! I do have a small fondness for Ethiopian just because I love citrus and bright coffees. But for milk coffees, I love Central and South American regions.
How about yours? What's your favourite region? Where are you located?

Thanks for clarifying! So, do you just have to learn all the local street names by memory?

Yes I will probably have to record this one again without the music as it's an older video.
Interesting comment on how many superlatives I use 😅
