Brewing Guides

☕ What You’ll Need

  • Fresh Lap24 beans

  • Clean, filtered water

  • Scale or tablespoons

  • Grinder (for whole bean coffee)

  • Timer

  • Your favorite brew gear (Pour Over, French Press, or Cold Brew setup)

🔁 General Brewing Ratio

Standard ratio:
1 gram of coffee to 15–17 grams of water
(For example, 20g of coffee to ~300g of water)

🔹 Pour Over (V60 / Chemex)

Best for: Clean, crisp cups that highlight flavor notes
Grind size: Medium-fine (like sea salt)
Ratio: 25g coffee to 400g water (14 oz)
Brew time: 2.5–3.5 minutes

Steps:

  1. Place filter in your brewer and rinse it with hot water (this removes paper taste and preheats your vessel).

  2. Add 25g of freshly ground coffee.

  3. Start a timer and pour 50g of hot water (200°F) to bloom the coffee. Let it sit for 30–45 seconds.

  4. Slowly pour in the remaining water in small circles over 2 minutes.

  5. Let the coffee finish dripping, remove the filter, and enjoy your brew.

Pro tip: Swirl the brewer gently at the end to mix flavors evenly.

🔹 French Press

Best for: Full-bodied, bold flavor
Grind size: Coarse (like breadcrumbs)
Ratio: 30g coffee to 500g water (17 oz)
Brew time: 4 minutes

Steps:

  1. Add ground coffee to your French press.

  2. Pour hot water evenly over the grounds and stir gently.

  3. Place the lid on top with plunger pulled up.

  4. After 4 minutes, slowly press down the plunger.

  5. Serve immediately—don’t let it sit too long or it will over-extract.

Try this with our Daily Driver blend for a bold, dependable brew.

🔹 Cold Brew

Best for: Smooth, low-acid iced coffee
Grind size: Extra coarse (like cracked pepper)
Ratio: 100g coffee to 1 liter water (~1 cup to 34 oz)
Steep time: 12–16 hours (refrigerated)

Steps:

  1. Add coarsely ground coffee to a large jar or cold brew pitcher.

  2. Pour in filtered water and stir to saturate all grounds.

  3. Cover and refrigerate for 12–16 hours.

  4. Strain through a fine mesh or paper filter.

  5. Serve over ice. Dilute with water or milk to taste.

Keeps up to 7 days in the fridge. Try Cold Start Cold Brew for an unreal cold brew experience and
