We got into pour overs and grinding fresh beans when I worked at a local coffee shop that roasted their own beans. We use 25g of beans per 400g of water for the perfect cup! If you’re just starting out, there’s lots of great recipes online for different pour over methods! Always use beans that have been roasted within the last 2-4 weeks for the best flavor extraction! If your beans are older don’t toss them, older beans are perfect for cold brew!
