Key ideas in Brewing Better Coffee at Home
- Coffee is almost entirely water by volume
- The 1:16 ratio means 1 part coffee to 16 parts water
- Water acts as the solvent that carries the flavor
- Standard balanced brewing starts with this universal baseline
- The ratio of water to coffee determines the strength of the brew
- Multiplying coffee weight by 16 gives the target water weight
- Applying the 1:16 ratio to a specific amount of coffee
- Darker roasts are puffier and take up more space than dense light roasts
- Boiling water (212°F) can scorch grounds and create bitter flavors
- Water quality and quantity dominate the final cup
- A scoop of small beans contains more coffee than a scoop of large beans
- The ideal extraction temperature is slightly below boiling (around 200°F)
- Weight is the only way to ensure the same amount of coffee hits the water every time
- Water needs more surface area to pull flavor quickly
- Weight vs Volume
- Fine particles expose more of the coffee's interior to water instantly
