The Fundamentals

Great Coffee Is Simple

01

Fresh Beans

Buy whole beans roasted within the last 2-4 weeks. Pre-ground coffee starts going stale within minutes.

02

Grind Right Before Brewing

A decent burr grinder matters more than a fancy machine. Even a $40 hand grinder transforms your cup.

03

Use Good Water

Coffee is 98% water. If your tap water tastes bad, your coffee will too. Filter it.

04

Weigh & Time

A $12 kitchen scale and a phone timer are all you need for consistent, repeatable results every morning.
