Start with good water
Use fresh, filtered water that isn’t too hard or too soft. If you wouldn’t drink it on its own, don’t brew with it.
You can brew better.
Choose a method, set cups & strength, and follow a step card designed for the best, most consistent at-home brews.
Select Brew Method
Small habits that make every cup taste phenomenal.
Five simple principles our bar team comes back to, no matter the method or recipe.
Pick the right grind
Finer for espresso, coarser for immersion. When in doubt, adjust grind before you adjust anything else.
Weigh, don’t guess
A small scale keeps your ratio consistent from cup to cup, so you can actually repeat the brews you love.
Mind the heat
Let boiled water sit for 30–40 seconds before brewing. Too hot and you’ll lose sweetness to bitterness.
Keep gear clean
Rinse and dry brewers after every use, and deep clean regularly. Old oils are the fastest way to flatten a coffee.
Grind Sizes
The same coffee can taste different depending on grind size. Look through the spectrum from powder-fine espresso to lazy cold brew pebbles.
