The brew
Weigh the batch
Start with 30g of medium-ground coffee for 500g of water. Use measured water rather than the machine's cup markings.
Prepare the filter
Use the correct filter for your machine. Rinse it if the manufacturer allows, empty the rinse water and add the coffee in an even layer.
Let the machine brew
Fill the reservoir with fresh water and run the normal brewing cycle. The machine controls water temperature and timing.
Stir and serve
Swirl or stir the carafe before serving. A thermal carafe is ideal; avoid leaving brewed coffee on a hotplate for long. Adjust grind next time if the cup tastes sharp or dry.

Find your sweet spot
Not quite right?
Sharp or sour
Let the cup cool a little before judging it. If it still tastes sharp and thin, try a slightly finer grind. With espresso, you can also try a little more yield. Change one thing at a time.
Bitter or dry
Try a slightly coarser grind, and check your brewer is clean. For manual methods, gentler pouring or stirring can help. With espresso, check the shot is not running unusually slowly.
Weak or watery
Check the coffee and water weights first. If the ratio is correct, try a slightly finer grind. For immersion methods, check that all the grounds were wet and the coffee had enough time to brew.
