Brewing Methods

Which brewing method is best?

Honestly, there isn’t a single right answer—it all comes down to your personal preference. That’s why we share recommendations for several different brew methods: to help you enjoy the best cup possible, no matter how you like to make it.

Think about what matters most to you. If convenience is what you’re after, an auto-drip machine is a reliable choice. If you savor coffee slowly on weekends, a pour-over or French press might be perfect. Always on the go? The AeroPress could be your best travel companion. Or why not try them all—you might discover a new favorite!

Golden Rules of Brewing

1. Keep It Fresh
Use freshly roasted beans and grind them just before brewing for the best flavor.

2. Control the Heat
Brew with water between 195º–205ºF (90–96ºC)—hot enough for proper extraction, but not boiling.

3. Find the Right Ratio
Aim for 1 part coffee to 15–18 parts water. Start in the middle of this range, then adjust to suit your taste.

4. Store It Right
Keep whole beans in an airtight container, away from light, heat, and moisture, to preserve freshness.
