How to brew this coffee

A few reliable starting points - adjust to taste.

Pour-Over
  • Ratio: 1:16 (coffee:water)
  • Grind: Medium-fine
  • Water temp: 200°F / 93°C
  • Total time: ~3 minutes

Bloom the grounds with double their weight in water for 30 seconds, then pour the remaining water in slow, steady circles.

French Press
  • Ratio: 1:15
  • Grind: Coarse
  • Water temp: 200°F / 93°C
  • Total time: 4 minutes

Add grounds and water, stir gently, steep 4 minutes, then press slowly and pour immediately to avoid over-extraction.

Espresso
  • Ratio: 1:2
  • Grind: Fine
  • Water temp: 200°F / 93°C
  • Total time: 25-30 seconds

18g in, 36g out, in 25-30 seconds is a solid default - adjust grind finer to slow the shot, coarser to speed it up.

Drip Machine
  • Ratio: 1:16
  • Grind: Medium
  • Water temp: Machine-controlled
  • Total time: 5-6 minutes

Use filtered water and a clean machine - most flavor issues in drip coffee come from equipment, not the beans.

Cold Brew
  • Ratio: 1:8 concentrate
  • Grind: Coarse
  • Water temp: Room temp / cold
  • Total time: 12-18 hours

Steep coarse grounds in cold water for 12-18 hours, strain well, then dilute the concentrate with water or milk to taste.
