Brewing ratios can vary depending on the type of coffee you are brewing. However, there is a general idea as to what ratio should be used when it comes time for fine tuning your brew. Below we have provided general guidelines for brewing some popular types of coffees:

• Espresso: It’s important that grounds are evenly distributed in the filter basket and that they are tamped down firmly. For this reason, it is best to use an espresso tamper instead of a spoon or other implement to tamp.
• French Press: Put one heaping tablespoon of coffee grounds for every quart (liter) water you want brewing into your pot (or carafe). Fill with cold water at about room temperature. Let brew for four minutes before pressing plunger all the way down.
• Pourover Method Using a Kettle and Filtered Water: Use two tablespoons ground coffee per six ounces filtered water heated between 195°F - 205°F degrees Fahrenheit just off boil, pour slowly over 260g/l max capacity paper or cloth filters evenly wetted then shaken dry.
