COFFEE 101

Whether you want to be your own at-home barista or just to impress your coffee friends, gain a stronger understanding of all things coffee.

GET TO KNOW THE FOUR FUNDAMENTALS

Once you’ve found your favorite bean — whether you prefer a Citrus, or rich Single Origin the key to maximizing the flavor potential is in the details. Brewing a great cup of coffee comes down to four fundamental elements: water, proportion, grind and freshness.

Water

If you start with funky water it’s no surprise the coffee will be too. Keep it fresh. Keep it filtered.

Proportion

Brewing coffee is not like throwing coins in a fountain. Wishes don’t come true from tossing random things in the pot. Keep to the ration and reap the rewards.

Grind

Make sure your grind is on point for the type of brew you’re making. It really will affect the taste. The proper grind allows all of the flavors of the roast to end up in your cup, without any bitterness. So know your grind.

Freshness

Like a wise coffee connoisseur once said, “Airtight keeps it right.” So seal that bag with gusto and make sure to keep the beans away from heat and moisture. That means just saying no to the freezer. You’ll need to use it within a week of opening but your tastebuds will thank you.

How To Brew Coffee at Home Without A Scale?

As barista's might say working at a well equipped café, I can’t imagine myself brewing or pulling an espresso shot without a scale. It tells us exactly how much water and coffee we are using, and it enables us to be consistent with each brew as well as to each other.

During this pandemic, we are all trying to stay home, but we must have our daily caffeine! Not everyone has all the tools at home. So, here are some tips on how you could brew an excellent pour over of coffee without a scale.

For this example, I use 24.5g of coffee to 380g of water — a 1:15.5 ratio. (You could also do 1:14 or 1:18 ratio depending on what recipe you’d like to use. In order to weigh out 24.5g of coffee beans or ground coffee, I used a ¼ measuring cup and filled it up all the way as shown in the picture below.

Afterwards, using a bigger measuring cup or a mason jar that has measurement, you can measure out approximately 380ml (13oz) of water and boil that to 205°F. If you don’t have a measuring cup, grab a 12oz mug and fill it up all the way to the top and use that to brew coffee, your final brew should be an inch (2.5cm) below the rim of your mug. Then, proceed to brew normally! Put a filter on your pour over device and make sure to give it a thorough rinse with hot water. Your first pour needs to be about twice the volume as the coffee you are using, and let it bloom for 45seconds. After the bloom, you can pour in a slow circular motion and fill it up all the way and let it drip for about 10seconds. Repeat this process a few times until you run out of water.

You are all set! Enjoy your cup of coffee.
