waves on mars is a caturra from cauca, colombia, processed experimentally by pontes roastery & coffee bar. cauca sits at high altitude in the colombian andes, and caturra is a compact, relatively low-yielding varietal known for clean, defined flavour. the experimental process pushes sweetness forward, showing up here as honey and honeycomb across the cup. it suits filter methods that preserve that sweetness without adding bitterness, so a pour-over or clever dripper at a medium-coarse grind and water around 90-93°c is a sensible starting point. keep brew ratios on the lighter side to let the delicate honey character come through clearly.
common questions

How is Waves On Mars grown and processed?
it is a caturra varietal grown in cauca, colombia, and put through an experimental process, which typically involves extended or unconventional fermentation steps designed to amplify sweetness and fruit-forward qualities beyond what a washed or natural process would produce.
How should I brew Waves On Mars?
filter brewing, such as a pour-over, tends to highlight the honey and honeycomb sweetness without muddying it. water around 90-93°c and a medium-coarse grind give you enough clarity to taste what the experimental process is doing.
about pontes roastery & coffee bar
their cortado hits differently than most places in copenhagen. something about the milk texture, the way it holds together without getting too sweet or losing the coffee completely. you'll find pontes roastery & coffee bar on toftegårds plads, where the regulars have been coming back for reasons that become obvious after your first visit. the beans get roasted in-house. that part matters more than it sounds like it would. copenhagen has plenty of coffee shops importing their roasts from elsewhere, but when you taste what pontes does with their own roasting, the difference shows up immediately in your cup. and the space works. not trying to be some instagram backdrop or mimicking the latest design trends. just a place where the coffee takes priority over everything else. which is exactly what you want when you're looking for something beyond the standard copenhagen cafe experience. order the single origin espresso if you want to understand what they're really doing here on toftegårds plads.
