Caffeine Tonix Roastery: Brewing Steps for Drip Method

Brewing coffee with a drip machine is convenient, but precision still matters. Using the right coffee-to-water ratio is key to extracting balanced flavor. A standard starting point is 1:15 to 1:17 (1 gram of coffee per 15–17 grams of water), depending on your taste preference. Weighing both your grounds and water with a scale ensures consistency, eliminates guesswork, and helps bring out the true character of the beans. Great coffee starts with great measurements. 

• Caffeine Tonix Roasted Coffee Bean ( Whole Bean (preferred) or Ground ) 
• Digital Scale (Available on Amazon)
• Coffee Grinder (Available on Amazon)
• Drip Coffee Machine

1. Start with Fresh, Quality Coffee
   Use freshly roasted beans for the best flavor. Grind just before brewing if possible.
2. Measure Your Coffee
   Weigh out your coffee beans or grounds. A good starting ratio is 1 gram of coffee for every 17 grams of water (about ~60g per liter of water).
3. Grind to the Right Consistency
   Use a medium grind, similar to sand. Too fine = over-extraction (bitter); too coarse = under-extraction (weak).
4. Fill the Water Reservoir
   Use filtered water for the best taste. Measure the water by weight if possible, or carefully match your ratio. * 1g = 1ml of water.
5. Add the Coffee to the Filter Basket
   Place a filter in the basket and add your measured grounds. Shake gently to level them out.
6. Start the Brew Cycle
   Turn on the machine and let it complete its brew cycle without interruption.
7. Let the Coffee Finish Dripping
   Wait until the full cycle is complete before removing the carafe. This ensures all water has passed through the grounds.
8. Serve & Enjoy
   Stir, Pour and enjoy! Store any extra coffee in a thermal carafe to preserve heat and flavor.

Pour-over brewing offers precision and control, allowing the unique flavors of each coffee to shine. Using the right coffee-to-water ratio is essential—typically 1:15 to 1:17 (1 gram of coffee per 15–17 grams of water). Weighing both the coffee and water ensures consistency and balance in every cup. A scale helps you avoid over- or under-extraction, making pour-over not just an art, but a science in every brew. 

• Caffeine Tonix Roasted Coffee Bean ( Whole Bean (preferred) or Ground ) 
• Digital Scale (Available on Amazon)
• Coffee Grinder (Available on Amazon)
• V60 or Chemex
• Kettle
• Paper filter

1. Start with Fresh, Quality Coffee
   Use freshly roasted beans for the best flavor. Grind just before brewing if possible.
2. Measure Your Coffee
   Weigh out your coffee beans or grounds. A good starting ratio is 1 gram of coffee for every 15 grams of water (about ~20g coffee to 300ml of water).
3. Grind to the Right Consistency
   Use a medium fine grind, similar to table salt. Too fine = over-extraction (bitter); too coarse = under-extraction (weak).
4. Heat Your Water
   Bring water to 195–205°F (90–96°C) or to boil and let sit for 30 - 45 sec. Filtered water is best for clean flavor
5. Rinse the Filter
   Place the filter in your dripper and rinse with hot water to remove paper taste and preheat your gear. Discard rinse water. 
6. Add Coffee Grounds
   Place the dripper on your scale, add the ground coffee, and tare the scale to zero. 
7. Bloom the Coffee
   Start your timer and pour about 2x the weight of coffee in water (e.g., 40g for 20g coffee). Let it bloom for 30–45 seconds. This releases trapped gases.
8. Continue Pouring
   Slowly pour the remaining water in a circular motion, maintaining an even saturation. Pour in stages if needed to control flow.
9. Let It Drip
   Allow the water to fully drain through the coffee. Total brew time should be around 2.5 to 4 minutes, depending on grind and dose.

The French press is a classic brewing method that emphasizes full-bodied flavor and rich extraction. To get the best results, precise measurement is key. Use a coffee-to-water ratio of 1:15 to 1:17—for example, 30g of coffee to 450–510g of water. Grinding your coffee coarse helps avoid over-extraction and sludge. Weighing both the coffee and water ensures consistency and balance with every brew, allowing you to fully enjoy the depth and nuance of the beans.

• Digital Scale (Available on Amazon)
• Coffee Grinder (Available on Amazon)
• Kettle
• French Press

1. Start with Fresh, Quality Coffee
   Use freshly roasted beans for the best flavor. Grind just before brewing if possible.
2. Measure Your Coffee
   Weigh out your coffee beans or grounds. A good starting ratio is 1 gram of coffee for every 15 grams of water (about ~30g coffee to 450ml of water). Grind coarse, similar to sea salt.
3. Heat Your Water
   Bring filtered water to 195–205°F (90–96°C) for optimal extraction.
4. Add Coffee to the French Press
   Place the French press on your scale, add the ground coffee, and tare the scale to zero.
5. Start the Timer and Add Water
   Begin pouring hot water evenly over the grounds. Saturate them fully, then pour up to your target weight.
6. Stir Gently
   Stir the slurry with a spoon or paddle to ensure all grounds are wet.
7. Place the Lid and Steep
   Put the lid on (plunger up) and let the coffee steep for 4 minutes.
8. Press the Plunger Down Slowly
   After 4 minutes, gently press the plunger down with steady pressure.
9. Serve Immediately
   Pour the coffee into cups or a thermal carafe. Don’t let it sit in the press—over-extraction can make it bitter.
