• NOT TOO FRESH

    We rest coffee for 7 days for drip and 14 for espresso. Fresh coffee gets sweeter as it off-gasses CO2.

  • COFFEE STORAGE

    Store coffee in an airtight container away from heat and sunlight. NEVER put it in the fridge and freezer.

  • USE A SCALE

    Brew by weight, not volume. Get a scale that measures in .1g intervals and has a 2000g capacity.

  • BREW RATIO

    Start with a 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio. For a stronger cup, add coffee grinds. Use less for a delicate cup.

  • COFFEE QUALITY

    Your cup is only as good as what you put into it. Make sure you use high quality freshly ground coffee beans.

  • GRIND IT RIGHT

    A high quality burr grinder is a necessary tool to make great coffee. Check out our friends at BARATZA

  • WATER QUALITY

    Water is a crucial brew variable you control. Coffee is 98% water, so brew with water you would drink.

  • WATER TEMPERATURE

    Heat water to 205°F. If you don't have a variable temp kettle, boil the water and rest a few seconds.

  • BREW METHODS

    Do you like a heavy bodied cup? Go with full immersion. Do you like acidity? Go with a pour over. BREW GUIDES

  • KEEP IT CLEAN

    Clean gear with an enzymatic cleaner like Cafiza. Use a descaling powder like Dezcal to remove scale.

  • TROUBLESHOOTING

    If your coffee tastes sour, try hotter water or a finer grind. If your coffee tastes weak, add coffee grounds.

  • ENJOY THE RIDE

    Making dynamite coffee should be a blast. If any of the process stresses you out, scrap it. Have fun y'all!
