2. Grinding degree
(You can also order already grinded coffee from us.)
Imagine a classification of grinding degrees from 1 = very fine, to 10 = very coarse.
You can use the next table as a reference for your grinding.
If your coffee tastes too:
- Bitter - try to grind it coarser
- Sour - try to grind it finer
3. Water
we recommend soft water at 96° C
- Water temperature for brewing coffee should be around 96° C. Bring water to boiling point, and then let it cool down for about 30 to 50 seconds.
- Water hardness of approx. 4-8°d and a neutral pH-value of 7.0 are ideal preconditions for coffee preparation. We recommend you to use a water filter if your water is hard (you see calcium formation in your water tap).
4. Coffee-Water RATIO and Preparation
The flavor of your coffee could change by:
- modifying the grams of coffee or the amount of water (or both)
- selecting a different machine
- using a specific brewing technique
