1. **Grind Fresh**: For best results, grind beans just before brewing. Use a medium grind setting, similar to coarse sand. 2. **Measure**: Use 2 tablespoons (10g) of ground coffee for every 6 fl oz (180ml) of fresh, filtered water. 3. **Brew**: Use your preferred method (drip, pour-over, French press). Water should be just off the boil (around 200°F / 93°C). 4. **Enjoy Immediately**: Coffee is best enjoyed fresh. Store remaining beans in the sealed bag in a cool, dark place. **Timeline Expectations**: *Week 1*: Notice the consistent, smooth flavor and lack of bitterness compared to other grocery store brands. Your morning routine feels more intentional. *Week 2-3*: The balanced, nutty taste becomes your new normal. You look forward to that first cup as a reliable moment of calm. *Week 4+*: This is now your coffee. It delivers the same high-quality experience every day, making your home feel more like your favorite coffee shop corner.
