FAQs

What grind size?

Use a medium-fine grind, similar to table salt, for best extraction.

How much coffee?

Measure about 15 grams of coffee for every 250 ml of water to keep the balance right.

Water temperature?

Heat your water to around 92-96°C (197-205°F). Too hot can burn the coffee, too cool under-extracts.

Pouring technique?

Pour in slow, circular motions starting from the center, allowing coffee to bloom first.

Brewing time?

Aim for a total brew time of about 3 minutes for a balanced cup.
