Grinding
•
Coffee loses its aroma quickly after grinding. To get the
best out of the coffee beans, we recommend that you only
grind them just before making the coffee - preferably by
hand. The advantage of manual coffee grinders is that the
grinding fi neness can generally be infi nitely set and therefore
adjusted more precisely. In addition, the coffee grinders are
easier to clean, which means that it is possible to switch
between different types of coffee without any problem.
• The grinding fi neness is one of the crucial factors.
For the cold drip method, the coffee should be ground
slightly coarser than for the French press. If you want to be
on the safe side, let a barista that you trust grind a small
portion of the beans and use this as a comparison when
grinding at home.
Dosing
To obtain a successful result, you should keep an eye on
the ratio of coffee powder to water. If the water content
predominates, the coffee loses its taste. If you use too much
coffee, the coffee becomes too strong. We recommend that
you start off with 25 g of coffee per 250 ml of water. Of course,
tastes vary from person to person, so you need to slowly get to
know your own ideal ratio.
Kitchen scales are one aid that not only make dosing
easier for beginners, but are also used by even the most
experienced baristas. You can use them to weigh the
quantities of coffee powder and water very precisely
and so also ensure the ideal ratio between the two
ingredients.
