Specialty coffee at home

Fresh beans, suitable grind, good water, and a steady ratio.

A good home cup usually comes from fresh beans, a sensible grind, good water, and a repeatable ratio.

Four rules

Buy whole beans when you can. Use a scale. Use clean water. Write down what you did so you can adjust on purpose.

Pick one method

V60/filter for clarity, French press for heavier body, espresso if you have the gear. Stick with one method for two weeks before switching.
