Our tips

For your next brew: try it and taste.

Grind

Medium-coarse

Like coarse salt

Sour or thin: grind a little finer. Bitter or drying: a little coarser.
moves extraction

Coffee : water

More water per gram tastes lighter and clearer; less tastes more intense.
moves strength

Water

96 °C

Hotter water extracts more: stay hot for light roasts, go cooler for darker ones.
