Mastering the Brewing Process

Grind Size and Consistency

The grind size can significantly impact your coffee’s flavor. A coarse grind is better for methods like the French press, while a finer grind suits espresso. Experiment with different sizes to find your preferred taste.

Water Quality and Temperature

Use filtered water heated to between 195°F to 205°F for optimal extraction. This temperature range helps in extracting the right flavors from the coffee grounds without burning them.

Brewing Time

For the best results, adjust your brewing time according to your method. For example, a French press typically requires about 4 minutes, while an espresso shot pulls in 25-30 seconds. Each method might require some trial and error to find the sweet spot.

Enhancing Your Coffee Experience

To elevate your coffee routine, try pairing your brew with complementary flavors. The vanilla notes found in our Vanilla 500grams selection can complement many dessert-style coffees.
