Your gear, your recipe.

Tell us what you brew with and how strong you like it. Every number comes from a published brewing range (mostly the National Coffee Association's guides), and the source is named under the recipe.

If it doesn't taste right
  • Bitter or harsh: Grind coarser.
  • Flat or watery: Grind finer.
  • Still not right? Check your water: very hard or very soft water changes the cup.
  • Too strong or too weak: switch strength above; it moves the ratio within the published range.
