How to Brew Renly’s Roast Coffee

Welcome! Whether you're brewing Renly's Morning Walk or The Zoomies, using a French press, pourover, drip brewer, espresso machine, or aeropress, we've got you covered! Read below for details on how to brew your best cup of Renly's Roast coffee!

☕️ General Brew Basics

For all brew methods, using a scale is the easiest way to get consistent, delicious cups.

• Standard filter coffee ratio: 1:16 (coffee : water by weight)
• Espresso starting point: 1:2 (coffee in : espresso out)

Don’t have a scale yet? No stress — brew to taste and adjust as you go.

The Zoomies: Brew Guide

⚡️ Espresso Instructions

Start with a classic espresso ratio:

• Tastes sour? Grind finer
• Tastes bitter or hollow? Grind coarser

Pourover / Drip Instructions

Use the same filter ratio as Renly's Morning Walk (1:16 (coffee : water))
