Pro Tips
-
Grind size: Medium-fine is ideal.
- finer → more body & strength (watch bitterness).
- coarser → cleaner but can taste thin.
-
Temperature: ~92 °C.
- hotter → boosts acidity
- cooler → softens and highlights sweetness.
-
Brew ratio: Standard range is ~1:15 to 1:17 (coffee : water).
- more coffee = stronger, more body
- more water = lighter, cleaner
-
Roast level: Light roasts need finer grind & hotter water to unlock flavor.
- light roasts prefer finer grind / 93–94 °C
- medium-dark extracts easily. Try a bit coarser or 90–91 °C.
Small adjustments = massive results. Find your flavour sweet spot.
