Brewing Guidance
For filter coffee, start near a 1:16 brew ratio with water around 200–205°F and a medium-fine grind. If the cup tastes sharp or hollow, grind finer to raise extraction; if the finish is dry, grind coarser. For espresso, begin with an 18 g dose and a 40–45 g beverage yield to encourage clarity.
A capable Turin grinder makes small grind adjustments repeatable. If you brew concentrated drinks, compare compatible Turin espresso machines and weigh both dose and beverage yield.
