Pro Brewing Tips
Take your brewing to the next level with these expert recommendations
Water Temperature
90-96°C is ideal. Too hot extracts bitterness, too cool results in weak coffee.
Water Quality
Use filtered water for the best taste. Tap water minerals can affect flavor.
Brew Time
Aim for 2-3 minutes total. Adjust pour speed to control extraction time.
Cup Size
200ml is optimal. For stronger coffee, use less water (150ml).
Troubleshooting
Common issues and how to fix them
Coffee tastes bitter?
Your water might be too hot or you're over-extracting. Try lowering the temperature to 90°C and pouring a bit faster.
Coffee tastes weak or sour?
Under-extraction is the culprit. Use hotter water (95-96°C) and pour more slowly to increase contact time.
Drip bag overflowing?
You're pouring too fast. Slow down your pour and wait for the water to drip through before adding more.
Coffee not hot enough?
Pre-warm your cup with hot water before brewing. This prevents heat loss during the brewing process.
