Product Usage Instructions

Before We Start
The following tips should be followed before starting the coffee brewing process

1. Tip #1: The quality of the beans is crucial for a good cup of coffee. It is recommended to use high-quality beans specifically roasted for your preferred brewing method.
2. Tip #2: Use coffee aged to the roaster’s recommendation. Consult with your local specialty roaster for their suggestions.
3. Tip #3: Invest in a good grinder to ensure freshly ground coffee before brewing.
4. Tip #4: Use a timer and digital scales to weigh both the coffee and brewing water accurately.
5. Tip #5: Store coffee away from light, air, and temperature extremes to maintain its freshness.
6. Tip #6: Clean your brew gear after each use to prevent coffee oils from sticking and affecting the taste of future brews.

The Golden Ratio
The recommended ratio for brewing filter coffee is 60g of freshly ground coffee for every liter of water. This ratio is based on the Specialty Coffee Association of America’s Golden Ratio. However, you can adjust the ratio according to your personal taste preferences.

Making a great cup of coffee can be easy — whether you’re at home, in the office or out in nature with your enamelware and kindling.
The Coffee Supreme Brew Guide brings together simple recipes and tips for some of the more well-known ways of making coffee. We’ll have you making a great cup of coffee in no time.

SIX TIPS

1. Tip #1
   The most influential factor in the quality of your coffee is the beans themselves. Good beans, good cup. If you can’t get your hands on a bag of Supreme, try something from your local specialty roaster. Make sure you buy coffee roasted for your brew method.

2. Tip #2
   For the best results, we suggest using coffee aged to the roaster’s recommendation. This can vary so you should ask them what they suggest. If you have whole beans then make sure to grind them just before brewing.

3. Tip #3
   If you’ve gone to the trouble of buying some nice brew gear, we highly recommend investing in a good grinder to go with it.

4. Tip #4
   To follow these recipes, we’d also recommend using a timer and a good set of digital scales to weigh both your coffee and your brewing water.

5. Tip #5
   To help prolong the freshness of your coffee keep it away from light, air and temperature extremes (challenging if you’re ascending Everest, but probably not your biggest problem).

6. Tip #6
   Lastly, clean up your brew gear after each use, no matter what it is, glass, plastic, gold. Coffee oils stick to everything. Keep clean equipment for tasty brews every time.

THE GOLDEN RATIO

• Just like with cooking, if you can follow a simple recipe, you can easily produce something tasty. In most cases, we base our recipes for each brew method on the SCAA’s* Golden Ratio for brewing filter coffee.
• We recommend a ratio of 60g of freshly ground coffee for every litre of water. This is a good place to start, but you can fine-tune your recipe to suit your taste.
• Check out the table below — here you’ll find some suggested brewing ratios of hot water to ground coffee for you to use. These ratios are a great starting point. However, you might like to tweak these numbers to suit your taste.
• Specialty Coffee Association of America — regarded by many as the international authority on coffee.

RECCOMENDED GRINDERS

GRIND SET TINGS
If your coffee is either over or under extracting (brewing too slow or too fast), the chances are that you have the incorrect grind for your brew method.

To start you off, here are three of the common grind settings we refer to through this Brew Guide

• Fine
  Like flour. Best suited for espresso and stovetop.

• Medium
  Like table salt. Generally suited to paper filters such as Aero Press.

• Coarse
  Like raw sugar. Generally suited to mesh filters such as a plunger.

BIALET TI

STOVETOP
This recipe is designed for any stovetop coffee maker.

SHOP NOW

• ABOUT
  The humble Stovetop is our go-to for making fresh Italian-style coffee at home.
  Invented in the roaring 20s, Alfonso Bialetti’s stovetop espresso machines are, in our opinion, the best on the market.
  They’re easy to use and produce rich, full-bodied coffee in minutes.

• Hot Tip
  If you like milk with your coffee, you can include this in the top compartment before putting it on the heat.

• Pro Tip
  Never use detergent to clean your stovetop. All it needs is hot water and a nice sponge to help extend the life of the seal.

FRIELING

GOLD COFFEE FILTER
This recipe is designed for the Freieling Gold Coffee Filter.

SHOP NOW

• ABOUT

  • Perfect for those who do not want to compromise on taste while wanting as little fuss as possible. This is as easy as it gets for great coffee making.
• Hot Tip
  • If your coffee brews faster or slower than what is suggested in the recipe, try adjusting the grind (finer if too fast or coarser if too slow). If you are using really fresh coffee, grind it a little further in advance to allow the coffee to de-gas.

AEROPRESS
This recipe is designed for the Aerobie AeroPress.

SHOP NOW

• ABOUT
  • The AeroPress was developed by American inventor Alan Adler who conducted hundreds of brewing experiments in search of the perfect cup.
  • He concluded that proper temperature, total immersion and rapid filtering were key to extracting the best flavour from coffee.
  • This method is a favourite amongst travellers and the time poor due to its compact design and usability.
• Hot Tip
  • You’ll notice the instructions that come with an AeroPress are a little different. We have found that the inverted method gives the best results. However you can use the same recipe with the standard brewing technique.

RECIPE

1 Cup Recipe

• WATER
  200ml at 96˚C / 205˚F)

• COFFEE DOSE
  14g medium ground

• BREW TIME
  2 mins

INSTRUCTIONS

• Step One
  Fit the plunger into the chamber, so the rubber seal lines up with the top of the number 4. Then stand it upside down with the hexagonal end facing up.

• Step Two
  Place an AeroPress paper filter into the black diffuser disk and rinse with hot water.

• Step Three
  Place ground coffee into the chamber and add the 200g of water. Give the grounds and water a stir to ensure all the grounds are wet. Lock disc and filter into place on top and let it brew for 90 seconds.

• Step Four
  Carefully turn the AeroPress over onto your mug and press the plunger down until all water and air has been expelled.

And you’re done! CHEMEX
This recipe is designed for the Chemex.

SHOP NOW

Hot Tip
Try to add the water in one continuous pour, keeping the water level topped up until it has all been added. If your coffee brews faster or slower than what is suggested in the recipe, try adjusting the grind (finer if too fast or coarser if too slow).

• ABOUT
  The Chemex brews an exceptionally clean cup, much of which is owed to its heavy paper filter, which delivers a purity
  of flavour by allowing the best aromatics to pass while trapping undesirable elements in the paper. The Chemex is perfect for brewing filter coffee for a small group.

• RECIPE
  3 Cup Recipe

• WATER
  350ml at 96˚C (205˚F)

• COFFEE DOSE
  21g medium ground

• BREW TIME
  3:30–4 mins
  8 Cup Recipe

• WATER
  675ml at 96˚C (205˚F)

• COFFEE DOSE
  41g medium ground

• BREW TIME
  4:30–5 mins

INSTRUCTIONS

• Step One
  Heat the entire Chemex by filling it with hot water, then empty it.

• Step Two
  Place the Chemex paper filter cone in the top with the double layered side of the filter on the side of the spout. Rinse thoroughly with hot water. This will remove paper taints and heat the vessel at the same time.

• Step Three
  Carefully pour out the rinse water ensuring the filter stays in place.

• Step Four
  Drop your ground coffee into the filter. For every 1g of coffee add 2g of water. The hot water will react with the fresh grounds and expand, this is called the ‘bloom’.

• Step Five
  Stir the bloom just enough to ensure all the coffee is wet.

• Step Six
  Slowly add the remaining water, pouring in small circles over the centre of the coffee. Fill to the top of the Chemex (the top of the filter may sit slightly above the glass so be careful not to overfill).

• Step Seven
  As the water draws down, gently stir. A slight dome should form in the coffee bed. You’re done when the filter stops dripping.

• And you’re done!

V60
This recipe is designed for the Hario V60.

SHOP NOW

Hot Tip
As with the Chemex method, try to add the water in one continuous pour, keeping the water level topped up until it has all been added. If your coffee brews faster or slower than what is suggested in the recipe, try adjusting the grind (finer if too fast or coarser if too slow).

ABOUT
The origins of the cone filter date back to the turn of the 20th Century, when Melitta Bentz received a patent on her first filter design in Berlin, Germany. Later in the 1930s, Melitta’s design was revisited with the tapering of the filter device to create the now ubiquitous cone shape.

RECIPE

1 Cup Recipe

• WATER
  250ml at 96˚C ( 205˚F)

• COFFEE DOSE
  15g medium ground

• BREW TIME
  2–2:30 mins
  2 Cup Recipe

• WATER
  500ml at 96˚C (205˚F)

• COFFEE DOSE
  30g medium ground

• BREW TIME
  3 mins

INSTRUCTIONS

• Step One
  Place the cone on top of the vessel you want to brew coffee into. Put the paper filter in the cone and rinse the paper filter thoroughly with hot water – this heats the cone and the collection vessel. Tip out the rinse water.

• Step Two
  Drop your ground coffee into the filter and pour 2g of your brew water for every 1g of coffee. The hot water will react with the fresh grounds and bloom (expand).

• Step Three
  Stir the bloom just enough to ensure all the coffee is wet.

• Step Four
  Now slowly add the remaining water pouring in small circles over the centre of the slurry. Fill to the top of the cone.

• Step Five
  As the water draws down, gently give a final stir following the downward direction of the rifled sides. A slight dome should form in the coffee bed. Once the filter has stopped dripping the coffee is brewed.
  And you’re done!

MOCCAMASTER
This recipe is designed for the Moccamaster.
SHOP NOW

Hot Tip
We recommend using the Technivorm Moccamaster. For other machines use the golden ratio to determine a coffee dose. To enhance extraction some machines call for agitating the coffee once it’s wet (sneak this in after step 4).

ABOUT
There are a plethora of filter machines on the market now that produce beautifully brewed coffee, rather than the stewed office swill that they are more commonly associated with.
This new generation, like the Technivorm Moccamaster, heats and delivers water in a far more accurate fashion than their predecessors, making them an excellent and fuss-free option for making a whole lot of great coffee.

• RECIPE

ABOUT
Caught you at your ma ‘n’ law’s with naught but a bag of Coffee Supreme and no gear to speak of? No worries, let’s get creative…

RECIPE

Hot Tip
Sometimes you’ve just got to do what you can.

RECIPE

• WATER
  96˚C ( 205˚F)

  Use the Golden Ratio (1:17). So that’s 12g of whole bean coffee, medium ground, for every 200ml of water

• BREW TIME
  3–5 mins

INSTRUCTIONS

Step One
Place the coffee grounds into your vessel, a large cup, small bowl, or a server should do the trick.
Step Two
Pour hot water over the grounds, ensuring all coffee is fully saturated, and the vessel is filled with the correct amount of water. Let it steep for no less than 3 mins and no longer than 5 mins.
Step Three
Take a spoon and scrape off any grounds that have floated to the of the water.
Step Four
If you can find a fine tea strainer in the house, then pour the coffee through this, and into your mug, to remove more grinds.
And that’s how you conjure a coffee with no gear.
