Choose Your Brew
Pourover
- Boil water 205°F (just off the boil) for optimal extraction
- Grind 21 grams (about 3 tablespoons) of coffee to about as fine as kosher salt. Add to brewer.
- Saturate the grounds Saturate the grounds with water right off the boil (about 205°F). Use just enough water to cover the grounds.
- Let it bloom for 15 seconds. Coffee de-gasses or “blooms” when it’s fresh–the coffee bed should raise up and bubble a bit.
- Pour water in a slow, even spiral, adding water every 10 – 15 seconds for an even extraction.
Drip Coffee
- MEASURE AND GRIND Use 1 part coffee to 17 parts water (e.g. 28g/4 tbsp coffee for 475ml/16oz water) and grind medium-coarse.
- Add water measure filtered water and add to the machine’s reservoir.
- Add filter and coffee Place a fresh filter in the brew basket, then add your ground coffee to the filter and level it gently.
- Start the brew and let the machine do the work.
French Press
- Warm up the press by rinsing it with very hot water.
- Measure and grind Measure out 56g (about 8 Tablespoons) of coffee and grind it as coarse as breadcrumbs.
- Add water discard the hot water and add coffee into the empty press. Start your count-up timer as soon as you add hot water. Fill it up halfway to the top saturating all the grounds.
- Stir At 1:00, use a wooden spoon or spatula to break the top layer we call the crust.
- Add more water Now, fill it all the way to the top with water. Put the top on and allow the coffee to brew without pressing it down.
- Press At 4:00, you are ready to press. Firmly push the press all the way down.
- Serve and enjoy Serve it up. Pour coffee into a carafe immediately to avoid over extraction.
