Start with fresh, dark roast grounds and use about 1–2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water, adjusting to taste. Heat water to just below boiling (195–205°F) to extract the best flavor without bitterness. Whether you’re using a drip coffee maker, pour-over, French press, or AeroPress, pour the water evenly over the grounds and allow proper brew time; typically 3 to 5 minutes depending on the method. The result is a smooth, flavorful cup that highlights the character of the coffee.
For the best results, use fresh, filtered water and enjoy within 2 weeks of opening.
