The Highland Challenge
Brewing coffee at Huai Nam Dang, where we stand at 1,700 meters above sea level, is more than just a scenic experience—it’s a scientific challenge. At this altitude, the air is thinner, and the atmospheric pressure is significantly lower than at sea level. This changes one of the most critical variables in coffee extraction: the boiling point of water.
Lower Pressure, Lower Temperature
Did you know that at 1,700m, water boils at approximately 94-95°C instead of 100°C?. This naturally lower temperature affects how we extract the complex compounds within the specialty beans. To achieve the perfect Science of Flavor, we must adjust our technique to ensure we don’t under-extract the sweetness and acidity that Thai specialty coffee is known for.
Precision is Key
To master high-altitude brewing, consistency is everything. We monitor every gram and every second. From the grind size to the “bloom” time, every detail is measured with sincerity. This is where passion meets precision, ensuring that the Rodlamoon experience remains exceptional, no matter where you are brewing.
