Coffee Brewing Masterclass

Beyond the Instant

Making world-class coffee at home is a science that involves four key variables: water quality, grind size, temperature, and ratio.

The Importance of Fresh Grinding

Coffee begins to lose its aroma and flavor minutes after being ground. Invest in a burr grinder to ensure consistent particle size for an even extraction.

Temperature Control

Boiling water (212°F) will scorch the beans, resulting in bitterness. Aim for 195°F to 205°F for the most balanced flavor profile.

The Golden Ratio

For most brewing methods, aim for a 1:16 ratio (1 gram of coffee for every 16 grams of water). Use a digital scale for consistency.
