Tips
Brew ratio is 16:1 (water to coffee)
1 coffee scoop = 10g coffee
1 tbsp = 5g coffee
1 fluid oz = 30g
If brew time takes too long & coffee is bitter, try a coarser grind
Use as hot of water as possible, especially for lighter roasts
If coffee is too intense, use a coarser grind &/or less coffee
If your coffee is too light, use a finer grind &/or more coffee
Buying
freshly roasted coffee
makes a difference, & whole bean is always a better choice than pre-ground coffee
Since you're here,
how about some coffee?
