How to Make Authentic Jamaican Coffee at Home: The Easy Recipe

Jamaica is well-known for many things, including producing what is considered by many to be the world’s best coffee. If you haven’t heard of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee before, we will remedy that here and discuss what’s so special about this coffee and the best ways to brew it.

We also give you a “fun” coffee recipe that includes Jamaican rum. But the truly authentic Jamaican coffee begins and ends with Blue Mountain coffee.

How to Make Jamaican Coffee:

• Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee beans
• Filtered water
• Coffee grinder (conical burr recommended)
• Kitchen scale
• Thermometer
• French press (or drip pot or percolator)
• 1. Grind the beans.

The best grinder to use, particularly for special beans like these, is to use a conical burr grinder set to coarse (texture should be like kosher salt).

• 2. Weigh the grounds.

Using these beans is an exact science. For making 8 ounces of coffee, measure the grounds on your kitchen scale at 1.1 ounces (just a little over 2 tablespoons).

• 3. Boil the filtered water.

You can use tap water but filtered water is best. For this coffee, you should also check that it is at an ideal temperature. Boil the water until it is between 195°F and 205°F.

• 4. Put the grounds in the French press.

While you’re waiting for the water to boil, place the grounds in your French press.

• 5. Pour the water.

Once the water is at the right temperature, pour it into the French press, seal it, and set your timer for 4 minutes.

• 6. Plunge and drink.

When your timer goes off, plunge, pour, and enjoy!

The Jamaican Coffee Experience

• The Blue Mountain Beans

You should be prepared to pay quite a bit for an authentic Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee experience. The beans are grown in a certain area in Jamaica (in the Blue Mountains) and must specifically grow in Portland, St. Thomas, St. Andrew, and St. Mary.

They also must grow in altitudes over 3,000 feet and under 5,500 feet to qualify as Jamaica Blue Mountain. These altitudes, as well as the volcanic soil, are what make the beans among the best. When harvested, the beans are separated by hand, and the Jamaica Coffee Industry Board (JCIB) must approve them.

The JCIB inspects the beans before and after roasting and even does blind taste tests before awarding the Blue Mountain seal. If your beans don’t have the official seal, you’re not drinking real Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee.

• Notes on the Preparation

We used a French press for the preparation, which is recommended as one of the best ways to prepare Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee beans, but you can use whatever you have on hand. The water should be at a precise temperature, though, and you’ll have more control with a French press, percolator, or drip pot than with a traditional coffee maker.

You should only grind the beans when you are going to use them. Otherwise, they should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place. Do not put the beans in the fridge or freezer, as this can draw out the moisture from the beans faster.

If you don’t want to weigh the grounds on a scale route, you can use 2 level tablespoons of ground Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee for every 8-ounce serving.

The use of filtered water isn’t necessary but will help the coffee stand out on its own. Tap water can have a subtle flavor, and you don’t want anything standing in the way of your tastebuds when you’re brewing a cup of exceptional coffee,

Finally, Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee is offered in light, medium, dark, and French roasts, as well as Peaberry . You should pick whichever roast you already prefer, but light and medium roasts are recommended because the natural, subtle flavors will stand out more.

• Alternate Jamaican Coffee Recipe

If you can’t get your hands on Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee beans but would like to try a boozy, dessert, Jamaican-inspired coffee, we have a recipe just for you.

Ingredients

• ¾ ounces of dark Jamaican rum (Appleton’s rum is recommended)
• ¾ ounce of coffee-flavored liqueur
• 1 cup brewed coffee
• 2 tablespoons of whipped cream

Instructions

Brew your coffee the way that you usually prefer, and add the rum and liqueur. Top it with a dollop of whipped cream, and you’re done!

Simple Jamaican Coffee Recipe

Ingredients  .

• 8 ounces of filtered water

Instructions  

• Start by grinding your coffee beans, but only the amount that you want to use. Your coffee beans should remain whole when not in use. Use a conical burr grinder and set it to coarse, which should be similar to kosher salt in texture.
• Using your kitchen scale, measure out 1.1 ounces of ground coffee (which works out to just a little over 2 tablespoons).
• Boil the filtered water, and then, using your thermometer, check that it reaches 195°F to 205°F.
• While you’re waiting for the water to reach the right temperature, put the Jamaica Blue Mountain grounds in your French press or coffee maker.
• Once the water has hit the perfect temperature, pour it into your French press, seal it, and set your timer for 4 minutes.
• Once the timer goes off, plunge it, pour it into your favorite mug, and enjoy!

Don’t forget to look for the seal of certification that is only stamped on genuine Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee beans. While brewing this coffee might sound more complicated than throwing a pod and water into a modern-day coffeemaker, the effort and the extra price are worth it!

This Cruise Life

Carnival celebration drinks.

We sailed on the Carnival Celebration in January, 2023. There are three totally unique bars on this ship and we wanted to capture as many of the drink offerings as we could from each of these bars: Bar 820, Golden Jubilee, and Latitudes Bar.

Have you tried these drinks on, or even off the Carnival Celebration? What are some of your favorites? Leave us a comment below! We ordered all of the drinks you see pictured below. Many were delicious. The drinks that aren’t pictures are commonly found at many bars (off the ships), so we focused on the unique-to-Carnival offerings.

Dirty Banana recipe?

By novalab , June 11, 2008 in Carnival Cruise Lines

Recommended Posts

OK, just got back week before last from a very enjoyable Valor cruise. I found a "new" favorite drink! It was a difficult job...had to test quite a few to find it:D

Now, I checked my Carnival Bar recipe book & it is not in there:( Does anyone have a more current Carnival Bar recipe book or a good recipe for this wonderful concoction?

MANY thanks if you are willing to share it!!:p

Take 1 peeled banana ... roll in mud ....:D

Seriously: http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink475.html

That is my favorite drink, right along with the Miami Vice. :D

I think it is a banana daiquiri with Kahlua (sp?? in it.

Another excellent site for finding drink recipes is http://www.webtender.com/search/

The Dirty Banana, as it is made in Jamaica, is equal parts of gold rum, Tia Maria (Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee Liquor), Rum Cream (cruise ships substitute Baileys and it is not the same), a splash of simple syrup, some milk and a banana. Blend it all together and drink! The best Dirty Banana ever had was made by a bartender at Hedonism II in Negril, Jamaica named Delroy!

I asked a Jamaican bartender on an Alaskan cruise a few years if he could make a Dirty Banana. His eyes lit up and said he didn't have the right ingredients but would improvise. He had been on the ship only 3 months but had worked at a place called Rick's Cafe in Negril and had not had anyone ask for one since he joined the cruise line. He worked it until he got the taste pretty darn close. Several people asked what it was and I let a few taste. He then let others taste from what was left in the blender. Before I walked away from the bar, he had 10 people lined up who wanted Dirty Bananas.

I had the same problem after I 'discovered' that drink! I have searched the web for recipes and have tried lots of them, but can't seem to replicate the one from the cruise. I'm headed out on the Ecstasy 11-1, so that is my mission. I'll post when I return if I don't find the exact one sooner:D

I love Rick's Cafe in Negril. It used to be alot better before commercialization took over but it still showcases the most beautiful sunsets! Plus the cliff diving is awesome there.

Thanks for taking me back there in spirit! :D

That has less to do with the drink and more to do with the location of consumption. (Translation: Drinks always taste better on a cruise). :D

THANK YOU!!! big duck & denb for the recipe links! LOL on rolling a banana in the mud! I think that happens after you have a few too many Dirty Bananas!:p

Thanks too jcanino! Your recipe sounds yummy & I am going to have fun experimenting with it! Want to have it perfected for my 4th of July party:D

Good Luck on you 'mission' in November Cindy! Can't wait to see what you find out! If you have to, threaten the bartender that you will not leave his bar until he gives you the recipe! What a refreshing drink this would be for the Holiday get-togethers:p
