Our tips

For your next brew: try it and taste.

Grind

Medium ours

The record names only a grinder setting.

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

80 °C

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