Extraction Basics
Roughly 30% of coffee is soluable. But you really only want about 20% of it as the other 10% is not all that tasty. Therefore proper extraction techniques do make a difference.
Effectively extracting the good stuff means you have to control the variables. Coffee/water ratio, grind size and consistency, water temp, etc. Couple that with the fact that all this depends on the coffee varietal, where it was grown, how it was processed, how it was roasted, and you can see why so many people view making specialty coffee as overwhelming.
We are here to simplify the process and make it as easy as possible to make a great cup of specialty coffee with as much work as you want to put into it.
