Simplified Brewing Thoughts:
ONE
Coffee to Water Ratio
This factor determines the strength of your coffee.
We prefer a range of 1:14 to 1-18 depending on the brewing technique.
The most important thing to note – this is a guideline. Please play. Experiment.
Rules were made to be broken! That’s the principal reason you have a great Two Beards Coffee to experiment with right in front of you!
TWO
Grind Size
Simplistically:
Coarser Grinds are paired with a Longer Brewing Time
Finer Grinds are paired with a Shorter Brewing Time
If your coffee is sour, grind a little finer.
If your coffee is bitter, grind a little coarser.
THREE
Water Quality and Temperature
Fresh, Clean Water – in Swakopmund we prefer Filtered or Purified.
Brewing Temperature ± 90 – 92 degrees Celsius.
FOUR
Operation and Maintenance
Your coffee is only as good as your equipment.
Keep it clean – no one likes stale coffee.
FIVE
PLAY
Experiment. Play. Enjoy.
Embrace your coffee moments!
