Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Determine your desired coffee-to-water ratio. A standard starting point is 1 gram of coffee to 18 grams of water (approximately 1:18). Adjust to taste for a stronger or milder brew.
  2. Measure the appropriate amount of coffee grounds based on your ratio. For example, for a single 8-ounce cup, use about 13 grams of coffee.
  3. Heat fresh, filtered water to just off the boil (around 200°F or 93°C).
  4. Place the coffee grounds in your brewing device (drip machine, French press, pour-over, etc.).
  5. Slowly pour the hot water over the grounds, ensuring even saturation. Allow the coffee to bloom for 30 seconds if using a pour-over method.
  6. Complete the brewing process according to your device’s instructions. For drip machines, simply start the cycle.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy your freshly brewed Brazilian coffee.

Recipe Tips

For the best flavor, use filtered water and store your coffee in an airtight container away from light and heat.

Experiment with the ratio: try 1:16 for a stronger cup or 1:20 for a lighter brew.

Pre-wet your paper filter (if using) to remove any paper taste and preheat your brewing vessel.
