Generally we find the following works for the above mentioned processing methods. When in doubt, start with boiling water and a 1:16.67 ratio and work your way down in temperature, coarser in grind and up in amount of pours to balance flavours.

Recipes

Before brewing...
Always rinse your filters with water.
Set aside your rinsing water and use it to water your plants or do the dishes.
Coffee papers and coffee grounds are compostable. Remember to dispose thoughtfully where possible. The best grind is the one that gives you the most sweetness and balance, all grind references are where we find ourselves for most coffees.

Notes

Each recipe can be doubled or scaled up depending on how much coffee you want to make. To test these, we use Aquacode diluted to a total TDS of 100ppm. We prefer most of our coffees to finish brewing between between 2'30 and 3'00. Finally, every grinder is different. Please consider our grind recommendations as starting points.

Troubleshooting

If you’re finding the coffees lacking in flavour, add more coffee or increase temperature
If you’re finding the coffee takes too long to drain, grind coarser
If you’re finding flavours to be muddled grind coarser
If you’re finding the cups to lack sweetness grind finer
If you’re finding any roast-affected flavours (hay, grass, smoke, etc.) try using a lower temperature
