BREWING GUIDELINES

Our recipes and recommendations reflect the way we approach and enjoy our coffees. They are not intended as strict rules, but as a foundation: a starting point to support your own brewing journey.

Water plays a critical role in extraction. For this reason, we do not provide a fixed water recipe, as replicating the same mineral composition does not necessarily guarantee consistent results. Minerals behave differently depending on their type and quality, and even fully demineralized water can retain characteristics linked to its original source and treatment process.

These variables influence how coffee is perceived in the cup. While no precise formula can guarantee complete consistency, staying within an established range provides a reliable baseline: around 60 - 80 ppm for pour-over and 120 ppm for espresso.

Regarding grind size, we find it more effective to adjust it according to extraction time rather than relying on fixed settings. This approach allows you to refine your parameters progressively and adapt each cup to your own taste.
