The thing to remember about brewing coffee is that weights, times, ratios don't mean anything if you aren't happy with the what is in your cup. Here are some basic instructions to get you going. 

The golden ratio to remember is1 gram of coffee to 16 grams of water.

Drip Coffee

The rule of thumb when it comes to standard electric drip coffee maker is 2 tablespoons for every 6 ounce cup.  Add water. Brew.

If you don't feel like doing math, then you must pick a point of reference. I always add 2 more tablespoons then the number of cups on my carafe.


Pour Over

.1 gram medium grind to 16 grams of water (200-205 degrees Fahrenheit)

 1 to 2 cups20-22 grams of coffee and 330 - 352 grams water

pour 40 to 60 grams of water over the grounds and let bloom for 30 seconds. There are two methods you can use here. You can stir the ground to make sure they are properly saturated. The second method is to not stir.

After the bloom, start your pour in the center then spiral out making sure to evenly distribute the water over the grinds. Make grinds aren't sticking to the side of the filter above the brew. Repeat this step 2 or more times. You will know you got it right if the grinds are flat and evenly distributed at the end of the brew.

Stir your brew to mix the different layers and drink up.

You should adjust the ratio to suit your taste.

when doing a pour over, your last pour should be done around the 2:30 mark with the last of the water passing through around 3:30. You will have to adjust your grinds to help meet the timeline.
