We recommend using a ratio of 17:1 water to coffee when brewing our coffees on any sort of drip coffee maker. When pulling shots of espresso, we recommend dosing 18g of coffee and pulling a 50g shot in 30s.
Pro tips:
- We love using a scale that measures in grams at our shop! Since all coffees have different densities, using a scoop doesn't always give us a consistent weight. So, If you are using 340g of water, you know using a 17:1 ratio that you will need 20g of coffee to get a great tasting brew!
- Grind size and freshness are also important! We recommend grinding every brew fresh with a burr grinder. If you don't have a burr grinder at home, select your coffee equipment and we'll be glad to get your coffee ground to the correct size!
