Our tips

For your next brew: try it and taste.

Grind

Medium-coarse

Like coarse salt

Sour or thin: grind a little finer; cold water extracts slowly.

Dilution

More intense: dilute less instead of steeping longer.
moves strength

A paper filter gives a cleaner cup, cloth or felt more texture.
at the brewer
