HOME BARISTA TIPS & TRICKS

Espresso

• Use 1 part coffee for 2 parts water.
• Brewzeus’ recipe: 18g coffee with 36ml water and an extraction time of aprox. 25 sec (give or take 3 sec).

Filter

• 10g coffee with 160ml water. No scale, no problem – if using a large cup, measure 4 teaspoons of coffee; for a medium cup, 3 teaspoons.
• Heat the water up to 90°C. Or simply bring the water to boil, remove it from the heat and let it cool down for a couple of minutes before pouring it over.
• Ideally, the coffee should stay in contact with the water for 2 to 4 min, depending on the filter method.

Grind the beans no sooner than just before brewing your coffee. For espresso, a fine grinding is perfect, while filter methods require a medium grinding.
