Unwrap the Bliss
Gifted a Stocking Stuffer Sampler this year? Here’s our recommended brewing tips.
Temperature
Start with filtered water at 212º.
Brew Ratio
We recommend a 16.66:1 ratio: this works out to be 6g of coffee to 100g/mL water.
We typically use 24g of coffee to 400g/mL of water for a 12oz cup.
* If you like more body in your coffee, you can increase this ratio to 15:1 (25g to 400mL for 12oz)
Grind Size
Slightly finer than medium (around 14 on the Baratza Encore).
Instructions
Rinse paper in your dripper with water from your kettle to pre-heat it.
Make a small divot with your finger in the center of the coffee bed, then pour in coffee
Start timer and gently pour 2x coffee dose as water to bloom (For our 24g recipe that’s 48mL of water)
Gently swirl the dripper to incorporate water into all grounds
Wait 30 seconds
Spiral pour in 50% of total brew water until 1:15 (i.e 50% of 400g, pour to 200g)
Keep it topped up, slowly pouring the rest of the brew water over 45 seconds. (i.e. 100% of brew water by 2:00)
Once it has drained a bit, give one more gentle swirl to incorporate any dry grounds on the sides
Wait for the coffee to fully drain. You want a flat bed of coffee and no big grinds of coffee on the side of the filter paper
