Please brew our coffee the way you like. You can order the proper grind size for your preferred method. Our favorite way to brew is pour-over or drip. Drip coffee is uniquely American; we think it's the best way to get the most flavor out of our coffee. Grind the coffee just before you plan to use it for best flavor. There are volatile compounds that go away quickly after grinding that you want to capture in your cup. The grind should be fine enough to clump together when pressed between your fingers. We suggest that you use fresh filtered water in a good drip coffee maker that heats the water to 192˚.
The ideal ratio for a pour-over or drip coffee is 30 grams of coffee for every 300ml water or 1 oz. of coffee to 10 oz. of water.
