Brew Ratios
Many customers take our coffee home to brew in a simple home drip coffee pot. While temperature control is often an issue with home pots, here are a few constants to get you started:
- Each method assumes a eight (8) ounce cup of coffee
- Add a little bit more water if your pot tends to let out a bit of steam
- Coffee too strong? Coarsen up your grind
- Coffee too weak? Make your grind finer
- We recommend a conical burr grinder
By volume, per cup:
- (2) tablespoons of medium-ground coffee
- (8) ounces of clean, distilled water
- multiply by cups of coffee desired
By weight, per cup:
- (12) grams of medium-ground coffee
- (238) grams of clean, distilled water
- multiply by cups of coffee desired
Pour Over / Chemex
For a delicious cup of joe with perfect extraction, our preferred method is a pour-over or Chemex brew. A pour-over allows the most control over grind, temperature, saturation, and extraction.
By volume, per cup:
- (5) tablespoons of medium-ground coffee
- (12) ounces of clean, distilled water
By weight, per cup:
- (26) grams of medium-ground coffee
- (442) grams of clean, distilled water
French Press
A French Press is one of the easiest and least expensive manual brew methods, and super easy with your favorite Rockabilly roast.
By volume, per 34oz press:
- (8-10) tablespoons of medium-ground coffee
- (32) ounces of clean, distilled water
By weight, per 34 oz press:
- (54) grams of medium-ground coffee
- (950) grams of clean, distilled water
Depending on volume, you can adjust this recipe to accommodate a different size. This assumes a brew ratio of 1:17, or (1) gram of coffee for every (17) grams of water. You can use this as a starting point to adjust your grind.
- (21) grams coffee, (360) grams water – Regular cup of coffee on a Hario v60
- (30) grams coffee, (500) grams water – Large cup of coffee on a small Chemex
