Recipes
Espresso
Ratio (coffee:yield): 1:2.5
Time: 27s
Water temp: 200f
For black, we like to add 0.5-1oz of hot water to the espresso to open it up and bring out more nuanced flavors.
Moka pot
The amount of coffee is for Moka pot size = 3 cups.
Coffee: 18g
Grind size: Fine salt
Water: Pour hot water to just below the notch
The brew: Put the assembled pot on the stovetop at medium heat. Once you hear the bubbling sound, remove the pot from the stovetop and run the bottom chamber under cold tap water to stop the brewing. Add a little bit of hot water or milk.
Aeropress
Coffee: 9g
Grind size: Fine salt
Water: 45g
Water temp: 208F+
Method: Inverted
The brew: Bloom coffee with 18g of water. Stir and wait for 45s. Once the timer hits 45s, pour in the rest of the water, stir, put on the cap with a paper filter, and let it brew for another 1:15m. Invert and slowly press until you hear the hissing sound. Add 0.5-1oz of hot water.
Cloth filter
We love using a cloth filter like Nel drip for a richer cup.
Coffee: 30g
Grind size: Fine salt
Water: 400g
Water temp: 208F+
The pour: Pour in a spiral from the center to the edge. Bloom with 60g of water for 45s. After that, pour in the remaining water (340g).
French press
Coffee: 30g
Water: 450g
Water temp: 208F+
The press: Press when the timer hits 5:30 mins. Pour immediately.
