Which grind type should I buy?

If you have a grinder at home, we always recommend buying whole bean coffee. Other wise, below is a quick reference for several brewing methods with grind type recommended.

How much coffee and water should I use?

In general, the coffee to water ratio should be 1:16 for the most common brewers. So for example, for 30 grams of coffee, 480 grams of water should be used. If you don't have a scale, then use  2 tablespoons of coffee per 8 oz of water (1 cup). Below are several brewers, the recommended grind type and coffee to water ratio.
