Why Brewing Methods Matter
The way you brew your coffee impacts flavor, body, and aroma. Different brewing methods extract coffee in unique ways, affecting acidity, sweetness, and mouthfeel. By following the right process for each method, you can unlock the full potential of your coffee and enjoy a cup that’s balanced, complex, and delicious.

📍 V60 – Precision & Clarity
The V60 pour-over method is perfect for highlighting the clean, bright flavors in specialty coffee. With a cone-shaped dripper and controlled pour technique, this method brings out clarity and complexity in lighter roasts.
- Use a 1:16 brew ratio (e.g., 15g coffee to 240g water)
- Maintain a water temperature of 92-96°C
- Pour in controlled, circular motions for even extraction
📍 AeroPress – Versatile & Quick
The AeroPress is known for its rich body and smooth finish. With multiple brewing variations (standard or inverted), this compact device is ideal for both home and travel brewing.
- Use medium-fine grind coffee
- Brew time: 1:30 - 2:00 minutes
- Experiment with pressure for different strengths
📍 French Press – Bold & Full-Bodied
For those who love full-bodied, immersive coffee, the French Press is a classic choice. This method allows for longer steeping, resulting in a rich, heavy cup with deep flavors.
- Use a coarse grind to prevent over-extraction
- Brew for 4 minutes, then press the plunger slowly
- Let coffee settle before pouring for a cleaner taste

📍 Espresso – Intense & Complex

- Use a 1:2.5 brew ratio (e.g., 18g coffee to 45g espresso output)
- Brew time should be 28-32 seconds
- Adjust grind size to control flow rate
