How to Brew the Perfect Coffee?

A great coffee starts with quality ingredients and proper brewing. Here’s how to extract the best flavors from every cup.


🔎 1️⃣ Choose Fresh, Well-Ground Coffee

  • Opt for freshly roasted whole beans to preserve all their aromas.
  • Avoid industrial coffee, which may have been stored for months.
  • If using pre-ground coffee, consume it within three days to prevent flavor loss.

⚖️ 2️⃣ Measure the Right Coffee-to-Water Ratio

Use a 1:17 coffee-to-water ratio for a perfectly balanced cup:
30g of coffee per 500ml of water
✔ If you prefer it stronger, try 1:16 or 1:15


⚙️ 3️⃣ Grind Your Coffee to the Right Consistency

  • The grind size should match your brewing method:
    🔹 Coarse grind → French Press
    🔹 Medium grind → Filter, Chemex
    🔹 Fine grind → Espresso
  • Tip: Grind your coffee just before brewing for maximum freshness.

💧 4️⃣ Heat Water to the Right Temperature

  • Boil the water, then let it sit for 1 minute.
  • The ideal temperature is between 86°C and 96°C (185°F – 205°F) to avoid over-extraction and bitterness.

5️⃣ Prepare & Rinse the Filter

  • If using a paper filter, rinse it with hot water to remove any unwanted flavors.
  • Then, place the ground coffee in the center of the filter.

🌊 6️⃣ Pour Water Slowly for Proper Extraction

  • First Pour (Blooming): Pour a small amount of hot water (twice the weight of the coffee) and let it sit for 30 to 45 seconds.
  • Continue pouring slowly in circular motions for even saturation.
  • Total brewing time: 3 to 4 minutes for optimal flavor extraction.

🎉 7️⃣ Enjoy & Savor Your Coffee

  • Gently stir before serving to mix the flavors evenly.
  • Take your time to appreciate the aroma and texture of your cup.

📌 Extra Tips

✔ Experiment with different brewing methods to find your perfect cup.
✔ Store your coffee in an airtight container away from moisture and light.
