Brewing guidance
For drip or pour-over, start at a 1:16 brew ratio and medium grind. Target an even three-to-four-minute drawdown, then grind finer for more extraction or coarser if the finish is dry.
Use these numbers as a starting recipe, not a fixed rule. Coffee age, water chemistry, brewer geometry and roast development affect solubility. Change one variable at a time and taste as the cup cools; this makes it easier to judge body, acidity, clarity and finish. Whole-bean coffee may also benefit from a short degassing period before final dialing in.
Choosing and storing this coffee
12 oz or 5 lb; whole bean, drip, paper-cone or French-press grind. Choose the option that matches your brewer because pre-ground coffee cannot be adjusted after arrival. Keep the package tightly sealed in a cool, dry cabinet away from heat, sunlight, moisture and strong odors.
Browse more specialty coffee. For whole-bean preparation, compare home coffee grinders or review the Turin DF54 single-dose grinder. These links are preparation options, not required accessories.
