Grinding
•
Coffee loses its aroma quickly after grinding. To get the
best out of the coffee beans, we recommend that you
grind them just before brewing – preferably by hand.
The advantage of manual coffee mills is that the grind-
ing fi neness can generally be infi nitely set and therefore
adjusted more precisely, and the coffee mills are also
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. If it is too
fi ne, the water takes too long to percolate through, which
involves a longer brewing time. If the grind is too coarse,
the brewing time is too short because the water passes
through too quickly. A medium grinding fi neness is therefore
recommended for the pour-over method. The grain size of
conventional table salt can serve as a model. 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 a very close
eye on the ratio of coffee powder to water. If the water
content predominates, the coffee loses its taste. If in turn
you use too much coffee powder, the coffee becomes
too strong. We recommend that you start off with 15 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.
