How To Use This Guide
Each method has two a “How To Brew” section with two important pieces of info:
- Grind Size: Fineness of your grind. Check out this resource for examples. Pre-ground coffee will be a medium fineness, which will be fine for some methods but horrible for others. (A great grinder is crucial.)
- Suggested Ratio: The ratio of coffee grounds to water by weight. A 1:17 ratio means 1 gram of water for every 17 grams of coffee. (Brewing recipes usually are expressed in grams instead of ounces to allow for fine adjustments.)
