☕💥 Brew Stronger, Not Harder: The Sacred Ratio of Coffee Brewing

“For where two or more are gathered in the name of coffee, let the scale be with them.” — Brew 3:16

Let’s be honest—most people are out here measuring coffee with scoops like it’s 1999. But if you want consistency, clarity, and divine-level deliciousness every single morning, then it’s time to repent from the ways of tablespoons and start measuring like a true disciple of the bean.

In this powerful, no-BS YouTube video, one of the most respected voices in coffee (yes, we’re talkin’ James Hoffmann) breaks down the real truth behind brewing ratios—and why grams per liter is the only metric you should be preaching.

🧠 Key Revelations from the Video:

☠️ Scoops are a lie.
Spoons, tablespoons, "a pinch of grounds"—they're inconsistent, unreliable, and frankly, sinful. Switch to grams per liter if you value your taste buds.

✝️ 60g per liter = your new gospel.
It’s the cleanest, easiest, most scalable way to brew coffee at home or in the café. Whether you’re brewing 250ml or a full liter, this ratio speaks truth.

💡 Strength is preference, not perfection.
There is no right ratio—there’s only your ratio. Start at 60g/liter, then adjust. But don’t mess with it until your extraction is dialed. That’s the real key.

💥 Brew method matters.
French press? AeroPress? Immersion methods require a stronger starting ratio (around 75g/liter) than pour-overs due to how water interacts with the coffee. Same extraction, different strength. Know the difference or stay confused.

🧘 Know thy brew. Weigh thy brew.
Look, no one wants to do math before they’ve had their morning cup—but using grams per liter makes it easier, not harder. Get a scale, be consistent, and make coffee you can believe in.

🛐 Final Word from the Pulpit

Brewing isn’t a guessing game—it’s a practice. A craft. A calling. So ditch the scoop, embrace the scale, and find your perfect cup with intention.
