Coffee Vibes Brewing Academy
Great coffee deserves a great brew. Our Brewing Academy shares the methods, ratios and rituals that turn Coffee Vibes beans into an unforgettable cup — whether you brew with a French press, pour-over, moka pot, AeroPress or espresso machine.
The Golden Ratio
Start with 60g of coffee per litre of water (roughly 1:16) and adjust to taste.
Grind Fresh
Grind just before brewing. Coarse for French press, medium for pour-over, fine for espresso.
Mind the Water
Use filtered water at 92–96°C. Water is 98% of your cup.
