Coffee Extraction
We recommend a brewing ratio of 16:1 (Sixteen parts water to one part coffee).
Brewing your coffee for a good extraction is all about getting the good coffee compounds into your high quality water. A "Good Extraction" is when the coffee solubles were fully extracted but not overly so.
Depending on the grind, the specific coffee, the water temperature, and your taste, these variables can be adjusted to properly extract your coffee.
