"Got a sampler box as a gift and spent a weekend tasting each one with my partner. We made guesses, compared notes, and found a couple new favorites. It turned into a little adventure, right at our kitchen table."

Start with a 1:16 ratio, 1 gram of coffee to 16 grams of water. That's the sweet spot for balanced flavor and body. Pour-over and drip stay close to 1:16. Go 1:15 for more richness, or 1:17 for a lighter cup.
French press does well a little stronger at 1:14 to 1:15. AeroPress can go tighter too, around 1:12 to 1:15. Use filtered water, grind fresh, and drink it right after brewing.
Air roasting uses clean, hot air to roast each bean evenly. You get a smoother, cleaner flavor without the bitterness or burnt taste that comes from traditional drum roasting. No hot metal contact means no smoky aftertaste.
It's a gentler process that brings out what's actually in the bean. The origin flavors and nuanced notes that heavy roasting covers up.
