Four sides of the cup

Body: Weight and texture in the mouth. Our reading: Metal mesh or no filter lets oils and fine particles into the cup.
Intensity: A concentrated, intense cup. Our reading: Less water per gram of coffee makes a more concentrated cup.

Our tips

For your next brew: try it and taste.

Grind

Between Turkish-fine and espresso

Take it off when the foam rises, before it boils; boiling makes it bitter and watery.
at the brewer
Foam rising within seconds? Turn the heat down; the brew should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
at the brewer
Let it settle a minute or two before drinking.
