Brew guide

How I brew this bag.

A simple pour-over recipe that works with the Monthly Ritual. No special equipment, no complicated ratios.

Pour-over

The recipe

Coffee

15g

Water

250g

Time

3-3.5 min

  1. Grind

    Medium-fine, close to table salt. If your cup runs bitter, go coarser. If it tastes thin, go finer.

  2. Bloom

    15g of coffee in your filter. Pour 30g of water just off boil over the grounds. Wait 30 seconds. The bed will bubble and puff as the gas releases.

  3. Pour

    Pour the remaining 220g in slow, steady circles, keeping the grounds wet. Aim to finish pouring by 2:30.

  4. Drain

    Let the water finish drawing through. Total brew time: around 3 to 3.5 minutes. Pour and drink.

French press. Same dose and water. Grind coarser, steep 4 minutes, press slowly.

Drip machine. Use the same 15g per 250g of water your machine holds. Medium grind, standard brew cycle.

Freshness

Check the roast date.

The roast date is on every bag. Give it at least 3 days off the roast before brewing. The first few days it releases a lot of gas, which pushes water away and makes extraction uneven.

After that window opens, brew it within 30 days for the best cup. Ground coffee goes stale faster, so grind right before you brew if you can.
