The Union General Coffee Co. Brew Guide
You have a bag of our coffee - now what?! Well that depends on how you brew it or how you want to brew it. Below are the most common ways to brew coffee with our suggested quantities. Coffee is very specific to taste - if you are finding it too strong, too weak, or something just isn't right - try adjusting your quantities, use pure water etc. Have fun experimenting - the road to a good coffee brew is never wasted.Â
With any of these methods using the Golden Ratio for Coffee is a good place to start:Â
1:15 to 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio by weight.
This means:
- 1 part coffee to 15-18 parts water.
For example:
- 15g of coffee to 225g (or ml) of water gives a 1:15 ratio.
- 15g of coffee to 270g (or ml) of water gives a 1:18 ratio.
The exact ratio you prefer can depend on personal taste, grind size, and brewing method:
- 1:15 ratio tends to be richer and stronger.
- 1:18 ratio will produce a milder, more balanced cup.
You can adjust within this range until you find the strength that suits your taste best.
Now how do you want to brew?
