Learn brewing
The science of a better cup.
Seven variables explain almost every cup you'll ever brew. Here they are, visually.
Finer grinds extract faster. Match the grind to your contact time.
- Espresso
- Moka
- V60
- AeroPress
- French press
- Cold brew
Sour? Go finer. Bitter? Go coarser.
The ratio sets strength. Most filter coffee lives between 1:15 and 1:17.
- Espresso1:2
- Cold brew conc.1:8
- Moka pot1:9
- AeroPress1:14
- French press1:15
- Pour over1:16.7
Change strength with ratio; change flavor with grind.
Hotter water extracts faster. Delicate teas need far cooler water than coffee.
- Green tea75–80°
- White tea80–85°
- Oolong88–95°
- Coffee90–96°
- Black tea95–100°
60°C100°CLight roast → hotter. Dark roast or green tea → cooler.
Too little tastes sour, too much tastes bitter. Aim for the sweet middle.
UnderSour · thin18–22%Sweet · balancedOverBitter · dryBalance lives between 18% and 22%.
From 30 seconds to 10 days — contact time defines each method.

Use time as a diagnostic, not a target.
Your cup is ~98% water. Minerals carry flavor; too many mute it.
- Hardness50–175 ppm
- Alkalinity40–75 ppm
- TDS75–250 ppm
Filtered, moderately soft water is the safest start.
Lighter roasts taste of origin; darker roasts taste of the roast.
