Home Brew Guides
We’ll help you perfect your at home brew the OZO Coffee way
General Brewing
1 Tbs Ground Coffee – 4 oz Water
This 1:16 ratio will result in a reasonably strong and balanced cup assuming the correct grind size for your brewing method
A decent rule of thumb for most drip coffee should be a medium – medium-fine grind
If brewing a big batch of coffee, go slighly coarser than you may normally for that method
The same can be said for brewing single cups – you can go as fine as table salt and have a tasty drink
Taste matters more than any recipe!
French Press
26 g Coffee (~4 Tbs) – 420 g (~15 oz) Water – Coarse, medium-coarse grind
- Pour 100 g water just off the boil and stir
- Let it bloom for 30 seconds
- Then pour to 420 g
- Stir crust at 4 minutes
- Press at 5 minutes, and enjoy
- It’s okay if you let it steep for longer!
Drip Coffee
We like to start brewing drip coffee at a 1:16 coffee to water ratio. 1 Tbs of ground coffee to 4 oz of water, using a medium, medium-fine grind.
So to brew a 3-cup pot (12 oz cups) in a home drip brewer, we’d scoop 9 Tbs of ground coffee and use 36 oz of water in the machine.
Pour Over
22 g (~3 Tbs) Coffee – 375 g (~13 oz) Water – Medium-fine grind
A simple and consistent two-pour method we like in our QC Lab:
- Start at a 1:17 ratio, 22 g dose, 375 g water, medium-fine grind
- 0:00 – 75 g bloom for 45 seconds
- 0:45 – Tight concentric pour to 200 g, gentle stir or swirl
- When it’s nearly drained around 1:40, pour to 375 g, gentle stir or swirl
- Aiming for 3:30 total brew time around 1.35% TDS
- Highlights acidity and clarity while bringing out the coffee’s inherent sweetness, backed by a medium body to support the cup and its long finish
