minimum dose size?

Jan 31, 2024 |

I use the Hario switch to brew my coffee and am trying to reduce my caffeine consumption. Hence I would like to brew smaller cups of coffee. I am currently using 10g of coffee with 160g of water. (1:16 Ratio) I am wondering if there is a minimum amount of coffee...

Growing Regions, Varieties and Processes

Hey there,

long time, no see.

Everyday there are new recipes that are seeing the light of the day or new brewers emerging by the minute, all of them giving you new ideas and new techniques, without really talking about the coffee that you're actually using it with.

This got me thinking and led me to a question(s) that's been circling around in my head for the past couple of days. But i just can't find a good answer/guide on the internet to it.

  • Question : Is there a comprehensive list/guide that give's me an overview on how to adjust my brews depending on the growing region, the coffee variety and process.

Important Note: It's a given that we know about roast levels and how to generally deal with them. Also i know gear is important – but let's try no to think about it too much or atleast imagine all of us having 2000€ grinders.

  • Example: if you put a washed Castillo from Colombia next to a washed Geisha from Panama and a natural "Heirloom" from Ethiopia – what would i have to look out for. Is a washed coffee maybe better off brewed with a higher or lower temperature? Should i adjust my brew ratio for a Geisha? And is a Colombian-Coffee or even more specifically a Castillo-Variety maybe prone to undesirable tastes or a slower flow-rate, that should make me grind finer?

And why is that.

I think you get my point. And even though i really love experimenting and trying new stuff or even putting one coffee through a test run with 200 different brewers and recipe – to see what i like most. Sometimes all i wish for, would be, not even accurate 100% right guidelines, but a comprehensive list that give's me more information on the coffee's that i drink and how to put myself into the ballpark of a good cup, by knowledge about the stated above.

Thank you very much – hope somebody has a recommendation or an answer.
