Brew Better. Your Way.
A Practical Guide to Getting More From Your Coffee
Coffee isn’t one-size-fits-all—and it shouldn’t be.
The way you brew shapes everything: body, clarity, sweetness, and even how you experience the origin itself. There’s no single “right” way to make coffee—just better ways to make your coffee.
This guide is here to give you a foundation. Use it, tweak it, break it, and make it yours.
Start Here: The Only Rule That Matters
If you take one thing from this page, let it be this:
Your taste is the standard.
We’ll give you ratios, methods, and starting points—but the best cup is the one you enjoy drinking.
The Foundation: Ratio Changes Everything
Think of coffee brewing like cooking—ratio is your seasoning.
Stronger cup → more coffee
Lighter cup → more water
Baseline Ratio (Great Starting Point)
1:16 (1 gram coffee : 16 grams water)
Example:
20g coffee → 320g water
From there:
Want more body? → try 1:15
Want more clarity? → try 1:17–1:18
Match Your Brew Method to Your Taste
Different methods highlight different characteristics in the same coffee.
Drip Coffee (Classic & Balanced)
Best for: consistency, easy mornings, balanced flavor
Medium grind (like sand)
Ratio: 1:15–1:17
Brew time: 4–6 minutes
What you’ll taste:
Balanced body, moderate clarity, dependable flavor
Pairs well with:
Cosecha — chocolate, caramel, nutty profiles
For me, this is driven by the pace of the day. truly any selection can go on drip but Yellow is always the baseline.
Pour Over (Clean & Expressive)
Best for: highlighting origin, acidity, nuance
Medium-fine grind
Ratio: 1:16–1:18
Brew time: 2.5–3 minutes
What you’ll taste:
Bright, clean, layered flavors
Pairs well with:
Flora — fruity, floral, bright
French Press (Heavy & Full-Bodied)
Best for: richness, texture, boldness
Coarse grind (like sea salt)
Ratio: 1:12–1:15
Brew time: 4 minutes
What you’ll taste:
Heavy body, oils, deeper sweetness
Pairs well with:
Terra — rustic, herbal, bold profiles
Blue Label for balance and big taste
Cold Brew (Smooth & Low-Acid)
Best for: smoothness, low acidity, batch brewing
Coarse grind
Ratio: 1:5 (concentrate) or 1:8 (ready-to-drink)
Brew time: 12–18 hours (cold)
What you’ll taste:
Smooth, mellow, chocolate-forward
Pairs well with:
Cosecha, our Blue Label blends as well!
Espresso (Concentrated & Intense)
Best for: intensity, milk drinks, precision
Fine grind
Ratio: 1:2 (e.g., 18g in → 36g out)
Brew time: 25–35 seconds
What you’ll taste:
Concentrated sweetness, bold texture, layered complexity
Pairs well with:
Any profile—depends on your preference
Dialing It In (Without Overthinking It)
If something tastes off, adjust just one variable:
Too bitter? → grind coarser or shorten brew time
Too sour? → grind finer or extend brew time
Too weak? → add more coffee
Too strong? → add more water
No need to chase perfection—just chase better.

Final Word: Make It Yours
You don’t need perfect gear.
You don’t need perfect technique.
You just need a starting point—and the willingness to adjust.
