Brewing our beans at home: 4 simple rules.
Written by Lark CoffeeCoffee shopDowntown AustinPublished 2 min read
Short answer
Use 1 gram of coffee to 16 grams of water, water just off the boil, and grind right before you brew. Finish the bag within a month of the roast date.
In detail
Good beans need very little to taste good at home. These four things matter most.
Weigh it.
20 grams of coffee to 320 grams of water. A kitchen scale beats a scoop.
Grind fresh.
Medium for drip, a little finer for pour over. No grinder? We grind the bag for you.
Mind the water.
About 200°F. Let the kettle sit 30 seconds off the boil.
Store it right.
Sealed bag, dark cupboard. Not the fridge.
Tip. Every bag has its roast date. One to three weeks after it is the sweet spot.
