Check out our Five Factors of Brewing and easy to follow Video Brew Tutorials below to get the most out of your brewing device and coffee so you can make the perfect cup every time.
Five Factors of Brewing
Coffee to water ratio
The ratio of coffee to water determines the strength of the coffee. A good starting point is 1:16 (1 part coffee to 16 parts water).
Grind size
In general, longer brewing times are paired with coarser coffee grinds, and shorter brewing times are paired with finer coffee grinds.
If the coffee is sour and flows too quickly, make the grind size finer. If the coffee tastes bitter and flows slowly, make the grind size coarser.
Water quality and temperature
It is important to always use fresh, clean water. Filtered or purified water is ideal. The brewing temperature should fall between 195-205°F.
Operation of equipment
The final brew is only as good as the equipment and the care of the person who prepares it.
Cleanliness
Rinsing and cleaning regularly is important to remove stale coffee build up.
