The keys to great coffee:

Great coffee requires quality green beans roasted to draw out the potential within.  Here are the keys to getting the most out of the artisan coffee you bring home:

1. Grind: use the appropriate grind for your brewing style.  A general rule – longer brewing times (French Press) should be paired with coarser particles. Shorter brewing times (Espresso) finer particles.  Drip is in between these two.  
2. Use the correct water/coffee ratio: 
   1. 1.2 litres = 65 grams coffee
   2. 1.1 litres = 62 grams coffee
   3. 1 liter = 55 grams coffee
   4. .9 litres = 50 grams coffee
   5. .8 litres = 45 grams coffee
   6. .7 litres = 39 grams coffee
   7. .6 litres = 34 grams coffee
   8. .5 litres = 28 grams coffee
   9. .25 litres = 14 grams coffee
3. Proper brewing equipment: Your brewing method should assure a water temperature 92-96 C° (195-205 F°). Appropriate contact time between the water and the ground coffee and sufficient turbulence for the process.  
4. Good Quality Water:
5. Brewing Methods: Great coffee comes from all brewing methods.  Always keep the first four keys in balance.

Enjoy great coffee regularly!
