Numbers to Know
1 Tb = Approx 7 grams of whole bean coffee
1 fluid oz = approximately 28 grams of water
Optimum water temperature for brewing coffee is 195 -205°F -
If you don’t have a thermometer, boil water and let it sit for about 45 seconds.
Quality filtered water is a must in any coffee brewing method
Weighing your coffee and water in grams on a coffee or food scale is the best way to have accurate proportions
A quality burr grinder is a game-changer and a must-have for any coffee connoisseur.
Drip Machine
Suggested Ratio 1:16 - Coffee to Water
Measure out 7 grams (1 tbs) of coffee for every 112 grams (4 fl oz) of filtered water.
Grind coffee to about the size of course sea salt and place evenly in filter.
If your machine has a bloom function, we recommend using it.
Hit Brew and allow your machine to completely finish its brew cycle.
Serve, let cool, and enjoy!
Pour Over
Suggested Ratio 1:16 - Coffee to Water
Weigh out about 21 grams (3 tbs) of whole bean coffee.
Heat filtered water to about 195-205°F (approx. 45 seconds off boiling temp), rinse coffee coffee filter, and discard rinse water.
Grind coffee on a medium/drip setting - should be about the size of Kosher Salt.
Start your timer and pour about 42 grams (1.5 fl oz) of water on the coffee evenly and wait 30-40 seconds to allow the coffee to “bloom” (if coffee is fresh, it should bubble up).
Pour water slowly and steadily in circular motions starting at the center of the grounds and working your way out and then back in. Repeat this so the water is steadily flowing but the water level never reaches more than 3/4 of the height of the filter.
By 3 minutes you should have poured about 336 grams (12 fl oz) into the coffee.
Wait for all the liquid to drip through and you should be left with about 270 grams (9.75 fl oz) of delicious coffee.
Give the brewed coffee a swirl, allow it to cool down a bit, and enjoy!
French Press
Suggested Ratio 1:15 - Coffee to Water
Heat filtered water to about 195-205°F (approx. 45 seconds off boiling temp)
Warm up your French Press by rinsing it hot water
For an 8-cup French Press, Grind 56 Grams of Coffee (8 tbs) on coarse setting, about the consistency of bread crumbs
Place coffee in the bottom of the French Press carafe, start your timer and pour water until the carafe is about half-full.
Wait 1 minute and stir the coffee up being careful not to crack the french press.
Fill the french press to the top, leaving enough space on top for the lid/plunger, place the lid on top but don’t press it yet.
At 4 minutes press the plunger down firmly and consistently all the way down.
Serve all the coffee right away (anything left in the grounds will continue to brew.
Enjoy!!
Cold Brew
For this recipie we use the Hario Mizudashi - but it will work for any brewer.
Grind about 70 grams of coffee to a medium-coarse grind. (think sea salt)
Place coffee ground in the filter
Slowly pour 1 Liter (34 ouces) of fresh, filtered water through the grounds
Place the brewer in the refridgerador and allow to brew for 14-18 hours
Remove coffee/filter, stir, and serve
** Pro tip increase the coffee to water ratio to make concentrate and cut with water, ice, milk, etc.
