The general rule of thumb is to use one to two tablespoons of coffee grounds for every six ounces of water. However, you can adjust this ratio to fit your personal taste preferences.
The best type of coffee to use is subjective and depends on personal preference. Experiment with different roasts and blends to find the one that suits your taste.
For the perfect cup of coffee, it is recommended to grind your coffee beans right before brewing. The grind size should be medium-fine, similar to the texture of granulated sugar.
The ideal water temperature for brewing coffee is between 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit. If the water is too hot, it can result in a bitter taste, and if it is too cold, the coffee may taste weak.
The optimal time for coffee to steep is between 4-6 minutes. This allows the coffee to extract the perfect balance of flavor and caffeine. Steeping for too long can result in a bitter taste.
