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.
