Frequently asked questions about brewing

At CAFECIT@, we believe everyone deserves to enjoy the best flavor and health benefits of specialty coffee, and that starts with knowing how to brew it right at home. We're here to help you perfect your cup!

What are your favorite ways to make coffee at home?

Why is home brewing important for specialty coffee?
Learning to brew at home is key to enjoying specialty coffee that is both healthy and offers the best flavor. It gives you control over the process, ensuring a perfect cup every time.

What kind of grind should I use for a specific method?
The ideal grind size varies by brewing method. For French Press, a coarse grind is best, while Pour Over requires a medium-fine grind. We'll provide detailed guides for each method to help you choose correctly.

How much coffee should I use per cup?
A general starting point is a 1:15 to 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio. This means for every 1 gram of coffee, you'd use 15-18 grams of water. We'll provide specific recommendations for different brewing styles.

What temperature should I use to make coffee?
The ideal water temperature for brewing coffee is typically between 195°F and 205°F (90°C and 96°C). Water that is too hot can extract bitterness, while water that is too cold may result in under-extraction.

How long does it take to make coffee with specific preparation methods?
Brewing times vary. A French Press typically takes 4-5 minutes, while a Pour Over can range from 2-4 minutes depending on the technique and volume. We'll walk you through the timing for each method.
