BREWING TIPS
Here are a few of the ways that we prefer to brew our cup of small batch coffee. These are baseline recommendations and you can always adjust if you want a stronger or lighter coffee!
Water should be heated to 200-205° F for all brewing methods
Tip: To reach 200° F temperature without a thermometer, boil water, and let it sit for 30 seconds.

Grind: Course

• Add a heaping tablespoon (7-8 grams) of coffee to the pot per 200 ml (6.7 oz) of water
• Pour over water (200° F) in a circular motion to ensure that all the grounds are submerged.
• Start your timer and wait for 30 seconds. This process is called Blooming!
• After 30 seconds give it a gentle stir to break the crust.
