Having a party is a balancing act. You want others to feel taken care of, but you also want to visit your guests. It seems like just when you're ready to sit down and join the conversation, it's time for coffee. We often make basic coffee one at a time. Here, we want to help you make a nice cup of coffee for everyone.

Whether you're making an eight-cup Chemex or an eight-cup French press, we have a few tips to help you simplify the process.

Consider grinding size

When brewing coffee in large quantities, the biggest concern is that too much coffee grounds will lead to over-extraction of coffee. This may be because the large amount of coffee powder slows down the flow of water, thus making the coffee "soak" for too long. This can be avoided by changing the size of the powder.

For Chemex and French presses, grinding is slightly rougher than for smaller size presses.

COFFEE-TO-WATER Ratio

The next step is to adjust the ratio of water to coffee according to the coffee you use and the brew strength you prefer.

For Chemex, when you're brewing dark roast coffee or coffee blends, aim for a 1:12 ratio (1 unit of coffee to 12 units of water). To brew a single-origin beer, you need to make it slightly lighter to allow subtle flavors to emerge, add more water, and aim for a 1:15 ratio.

The same principle applies to French publishers. We want the coffee blend to be between 1:12 and 1:14. For a single origin, 1:15 is another magic ratio.

extraction time

An eight-cup Chemex takes slightly longer than the usual three to four minutes because the water needs to pass through more coffee grounds. Try to get to a point in 4 to 5 minutes where you should be safe. If this process takes too long, try grinding the coffee a bit coarser next time.

For French press, stick to a brewing time of four minutes. Not a second less.

Warm your boat.

It is best for extraction to keep the temperature as constant as possible during brewing. Preheat your veins first, whether it's chemo or French press. Pour out the hot water before you start cooking.

test run

If you want to eliminate guesswork, especially for grinding sizes (which is essentially a game of trial and error), instead of trying the previous day's test run. Find the right environment in your coffee maker and trust that your guests will soon enjoy delicious coffee and you will enjoy it with them.
