01. Find Your Method
Compare the body, clarity, and difficulty of the world's most popular brewing styles.

Consistency is the secret to great coffee. Use our calculator to find exactly how much water you need for your beans. We recommend a 1:16 ratio for most methods.
Your Brew Recipe
Grams of Water
Tip: Use filtered water heated to 205°F for the best extraction.
03. The Perfect Pour-Over
The Bloom
Pour 40g of water. Wait 30 seconds for the gas to escape. This "awakens" the flavor.
Spiral Pour
Pour in steady, concentric circles from the center outward. Keep the stream thin.
Maintain Level
Keep the water level consistent. Don't let the bed of grounds go dry until the end.
The Drawdown
Total time should be 3:00–3:30. If it's faster, grind finer. If slower, grind coarser.
