Pour Over

  • Ratio: 1:15 — that's 1 part coffee to 15 parts water. For a single 12 oz cup, use about 22g (roughly 3 tablespoons) of coffee to 330ml (11 oz) of water.

  • Grind: Medium-fine

French Press

  • Ratio: 1:12 — that's 1 part coffee to 12 parts water. For a standard 8-cup French press (34 oz), use about 55g (8 tablespoons) of coffee. This ratio makes a rich, full-bodied brew.

  • Grind: Coarse

Drip (Auto Brewer)

  • Ratio: 1:15 — that's 1 part coffee to 15 parts water. A simple rule of thumb: 1 to 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 oz of water. For a full 12-cup pot (60 oz), use about 10–12 tablespoons.

  • Grind: Medium

Espresso

  • Ratio: 1:2 — that's 1 part coffee to 2 parts water. For a standard double shot, use 18g of finely ground coffee to pull about 36g (roughly 1.25 oz) of espresso. It's a small, concentrated pour — that's intentional.

  • Grind: Fine

Keurig
(K-Cup)

  • Ratio: 1:15 — that's 1 part coffee to 15 parts water, or about 2 tablespoons of coffee per 6–8 oz of water. Select the smallest brew size on your Keurig for the strongest, most flavorful cup.

  • Grind: Medium-fine

  • Note: Use a reusable K-Cup pod filled with freshly ground Greybeard's for the best result — pre-filled pods can't match the flavor of fresh beans.

Regular Coffee Pot

  • Ratio: 1:15 — that's 1 part coffee to 15 parts water, or about 1 heaping tablespoon per 6 oz (one standard "cup" on your coffee maker). For a full 12-cup pot (60 oz), use about 10 tablespoons. Adjust up for a bolder brew, down for something lighter.

  • Grind: Medium

  • Note: For a full 12-cup pot (60 oz), use about 10 tbsp of ground coffee. Adjust to taste — a little more for a bolder brew.

Whatever method you choose, start with freshly roasted beans. That's the one thing no technique can fix.
