Wilford personal description (background and motivations):

/wp:paragraph wp:paragraph

My name is Wilford Lamastus Jr and I am a fourth generation coffee producer from Boquete, Panama.

/wp:paragraph wp:paragraph

My family produces coffee since 1918 producing and selling as a commodity until the early 90’s where Panama’s coffee crisis hits Panama coffee production heavy and after trying different crops, a small number of producers decided to back in to coffee but this time doing it special pushing the specialty coffee industry to the one we have today from a very small number of Panamanian producers including my father as one of the main leaders from this movement, and even as the specialty coffee movement began the struggle last two more decades until coffee began a sustainable crop for our family and community. This is where my inspiration in coffee begins, and I competed in order to achieve the last part of the chain as a producer to understand our market consumption better.

Why did you choose the Sibarist filters for the brewers cup championship?

/wp:paragraph wp:paragraph

Highly recommended by industry leaders, but mainly because of my coach and friend Benjamin Put, he made sure I used them and of course we tasted against others and had better results.

Could you describe the recipe and coffee used? And what’s the reason of the set up?

/wp:paragraph wp:paragraph

My coffee was Elida Geisha Natural ASD Torre, the recipe is 15 grams for 225 ml

/wp:paragraph wp:paragraph

0:00 we add 40 ml

/wp:paragraph wp:paragraph

/wp:paragraph wp:paragraph

1:30 we add 125 ml

/wp:paragraph wp:paragraph

First two using fellow and last one using brewista.

/wp:paragraph wp:paragraph

93 degrees.

It imitates immersion and the FAST filter helps with the long and last pour.
