BEST PRACTICES FOR COFFEE BREWING

It’s no secret that good coffee fails without great brewing methods. There are a few basics that all good brewing methods must possess:

1. Brewing Water Temperature: 195-205F

2. Clean, filtered water

3. Proper steep time for the grind setting:

Coarse Grind = longer brew time

Fine Grind = shorter brew time

4. Proper Coffee to Water Ratio: We like 1:16,1 gram of coffee for every 16 ml (or g) of water

5. A consistent grind particle size: Use a burr grinder if possible

6. Coffee that is not too far off-roast
