four different parameters. The first is going to be dose, how much coffee to water. The

second is going to be grind. The third is going to be temperature of water that we use,

and the final element is going to be contact time between coffee and water.

First covering dose. Depending on how much coffee to water ratio you're using will determine

the strength of your final cup. The second element of brewing is going to be grind. If

you take, for example the consistency of gravel, sand and dirt and translate that over to the

consistency of your grind size, will determine how fast or slow the water's going to flow

through the coffee. In discussing temperaure, that will also vary depending on the brew

method we use. A good baseline for any manual brew method is going to be right off boil.

The final element of brewing is going to be contact time. So depending on how long our

water is in contact with the coffee will also determine the concentration level of our final

brews. If you're having problems brewing coffee these are four elements that you should really

take into consideration of examining. Find out what your dose is, find out what size

grind you're using, um, make sure your temperature is at where it needs to be and finally look

at your contact time to get the best cup of coffee you can possibly brew.
