The ratio of coffee to water is the easiest starting point for improving the taste of your home brew.

Key Points

  • Start with one gram of coffee to sixteen grams of water, then adjust little by little to your taste.
  • Weigh the coffee and water on a digital scale so the result can be repeated the next day.
  • Rinse the filter paper with hot water, then pour just enough first water to let the grounds bloom for thirty seconds.
  • Pour the rest of the water slowly in a circular motion and aim for a total time of about three minutes.

Change only one variable at a time so you know what caused the change in taste.
