Home coffee and tea
Brew it slowly. Weigh it once.
Beckytable is a quiet corner for home brewing: pour-over and French press, loose-leaf tea, the mugs that hold it all, and mornings that don’t rush. Every number here is a starting point. Your own taste gets the last word.
Today’s starting point
1 g coffee to 16 g water
Water just off the boil, a medium grind, and about three and a half minutes of pouring.
