Our tips

For your next brew: try it and taste.

Grind

Coarse

8 of 10 on the championship scale (10 is very coarse)

New coffee, same roast level: keep the recipe and change only the grind.

Dilution

The dilution sets the intensity: less water for a more intense cup, more for a lighter one.
moves strength

Water

85 °C

No dose lever on a concentrate: the dilution sets the strength.
