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.
