Brew GuidesHow we brew it
Precise roasting deserves precise brewing, but none of this requires a lab. A scale, fresh whole beans, and one of the recipes below gets you 95% of the way. Ratios are coffee : water by weight.
Pour Over
V60 / Kalita / Chemex- Ratio
- 1:16
- Dose
- 22 g coffee · 350 g water
- Grind
- Medium-fine (table salt)
- Water
- 205°F
- Time
- 2:45 – 3:15
- Rinse the filter with hot water; discard the rinse water.
- Bloom: pour 50 g of water over the grounds, swirl gently, wait 40 seconds.
- Pour to 200 g in slow circles, pause, then pour to 350 g.
- Drawdown should finish around 3 minutes. Flat bed = even extraction.
The clearest window into a coffee. Our light and fruit-forward roasts shine here.
Drip Machine
Any auto-drip brewer- Ratio
- 1:16
- Dose
- 55 g coffee · 900 g water (~7 cups; scale at 1:16)
- Grind
- Medium (kosher salt)
- Water
- Machine-controlled
- Time
- 5 – 6 min
- Use a fresh paper filter and level the grounds before brewing.
- If your machine has a bloom or "pre-infusion" mode, use it.
- Drink within an hour; a burner plate cooks the pot, so use a thermal carafe if you can.
No shame in the machine. With good coffee, the right dose, and a fresh grind, it delivers.
- Ratio
- 1:15
- Dose
- 30 g coffee · 450 g water
- Grind
- Coarse (breadcrumbs)
- Water
- 200°F
- Time
- 4:00 + rest
- Add coffee, pour all the water, start the timer. Stir once at 1:00.
- At 4:00, skim the crust and floating grounds off the top.
- Rest 2 more minutes, then press just to the surface; don’t plunge deep.
- Pour immediately so it doesn’t keep extracting in the press.
Full body and heavier texture. This is where our Balanced and Dark & Bold profiles live large.
Espresso
Machine + grinder that can go fine- Ratio
- 1:2
- Dose
- 18 g in · 36 g out
- Grind
- Fine (adjust until the shot runs 25–30 s)
- Water
- 200°F
- Time
- 25 – 30 s
- Dose 18 g, distribute evenly, tamp level.
- Aim for 36 g of espresso in 25–30 seconds from first drip.
- Running fast and sour? Grind finer. Slow and bitter? Coarser.
- Rest our coffee 10+ days off roast for espresso. It settles the crema and sweetens the shot.
Our dark roast was built for this. Sweetness and chocolate that cut through milk.
