Coffee Recipe

Measure beans

Weigh or scoop coffee beans to achieve a brew ratio of about 1:16 (coffee:water). For a 12 fl oz (360 ml) cup, use 0.0625 cups (about 10–12 g) of whole beans. Adjust to strength preference.

Grind

Grind the beans to a medium grind (similar to table salt) if using a drip brewer. If using a French press, use a coarser grind; for an espresso machine, use a fine grind.

Heat fresh cold water to the appropriate temperature. For automatic drip, target 195–205°F (90–96°C). If boiling, bring to a boil then let sit 30 seconds. Pour measured 12 oz (360 ml) water into your brewer's reservoir or kettle.

Place ground coffee into the filter or basket (or French press). Start the brew: for drip machines, run the machine; for pour-over, wet the grounds briefly (bloom) with ~30–40 ml water and wait 30 seconds, then pour remaining water slowly for a total of 12 oz; for French press, pour all water, stir, steep 4 minutes, then press.

When brewing completes, serve immediately. For carafes or airpots used for unlimited refills, keep coffee hot between 175–185°F (79–85°C) to preserve flavor without overcooking.

If desired, add milk or cream (about 2 tbsp) and sugar (1 tsp) or sweetener to taste. Stir and taste; adjust additions if needed.

Offer unlimited refills by keeping a full pot or airpot of freshly brewed BHB Breakfast Blend available. Re-brew periodically (every 1–2 hours) to maintain brightness — avoid serving coffee that has been sitting on a hot plate for many hours.
