BREWING FUNDAMENTALS
- Preheat your brewing vessel
- Weigh your ingredients
- Make sure your brewing vessel is clean
- Use water that is almost but not quite boiling
- Make sure to wet all the grounds evenly
- Rinse any paper filters with hot water before use
- Be sure to grind the coffee to the correct coarseness for the brewer you are using
- Fresh coffee will "bloom" which is CO2 being released as hot water hits the coffee
- To adjust strength change the grind, not the ratio of coffee to water. For stronger tasting coffee grind finer for less intense flavor coarsen your grind.
