Sudan Rume Colombia V60 Recipe: A Small, Safe Brew

November 11, 2026 · The Angry Roaster

Spotted: a rare bean in a small bag, and a home brewer too nervous to open it. Relax, darling. Brew a small cup and let it show off.

Short answer: Brew 15g of Sudan Rume Colombia, ground medium, with 250g of filtered water at 93°C in a V60. Bloom with 50g for 45 seconds, pour to 150g by 1:15 and to 250g by 2:15, for a total brew time of 2:45 to 3:15.

Coffee: 15g Sudan Rume Colombia
Water: 250g, filtered
Temperature: 93°C
Grind: Medium, like coarse sand
Brewer: V60 or a similar conical dripper
Total time: 2:45 to 3:15

Steps

Bloom with 50g of water. Wait 45 seconds. Take a deep breath and smell it.
Pour in slow, steady circles to 150g by 1:15. Keep the stream gentle.
Finish the pour to 250g by 2:15. Give the dripper a tiny swirl to level the bed.
Let it draw down. Target a total brew time of 2:45 to 3:15.
Let the cup cool for five minutes before you drink it.

Why this works

Sudan Rume is dense and complex. Water at 93°C and a medium grind keep the floral and fruit notes clear while still pulling out the deep sweetness. In the cup that means orange marmalade, yellow apricots and elderflower. The small 15g dose is deliberate too. It lets you experiment with a special coffee without brewing a giant batch.

If it tastes off

Sour or thin: If your cup tastes sour or grassy, do not panic. Grind a little finer next time.
Bitter or dry: If it tastes dry or bitter, grind a little coarser next time.

Quick answers

Why only 15g?

So you can experiment without using up the bag. A smaller dose means more brews, and more chances to get it just right.

Why let it cool for five minutes?

The delicate floral and fruit notes only show up when the coffee is not scalding hot. Give it time and it opens up.

The rarest bean in the room: Sudan Rume Colombia. Still not right? Here is how to fix sour or bitter coffee.

You know you love it.
