 These ratios are based on the Specialty Coffee Association
of America (SCAA) brewing range. We have
found that brewing on the higher side of the coffee weight ratios yields the
most flavorful dynamic taste with the total dissolved solids level creating a
lasting powerful coating throughout the mouth, giving an increased sense of
value and difference. The total
dissolved solids of the cup are easily measured with optimum level at 1300 + ppm. By maintaining
a fixed coffee weight, a consistent brew temperature, using filtered water at
100-200 ppm, without odor or off tastes, and the
total brewing process completed in less than 8 minutes, the grind becomes the
variable being adjusted to achieve the cup difference and dynamic profile. It is a different and dynamic cup that has
proven to lead the specialty coffeehouse sector and helps ensure the survival
of the smaller coffeehouse owner.
