03. Brew Tips
Great Coffee Is All About the Details.
A few small adjustments can make a big difference. Explore these simple tips to get the most from every brew.
FIND YOUR GRIND
Medium-coarse is a great place to start.
A consistent medium-coarse grind helps water flow evenly through the stainless-steel mesh filter while reducing fine sediment.
A burr grinder can help you achieve more consistent results. Pre-ground coffee works too — just avoid very fine grinds.
GET YOUR RATIO RIGHT
Find the strength that suits you.
Start with approximately 20–22 g of coffee for 350 ml of water, then adjust to taste.
Want a stronger cup? Add a little more coffee.
Prefer something lighter? Use slightly less.
WATCH YOUR WATER
Temperature matters.
For most coffee, we recommend 195–203°F (90–95°C).
Water that's too hot may emphasize bitterness, while water that's too cool may produce a weaker, less developed flavor.
PAPER OR NO PAPER?
It's your coffee. Your choice.
BRU's reusable stainless-steel mesh filter lets natural coffee oils pass through for a richer, fuller-bodied cup.
For a cleaner taste with less sediment, simply add a compatible paper filter inside the mesh basket.
TROUBLESHOOT YOUR BREW
Coffee tastes weak?
Try adding more coffee, using a slightly finer grind, or extending immersion time.
Coffee tastes bitter?
Try a coarser grind, slightly cooler water, or a shorter steeping time.
Finding sediment in your cup?
A little fine sediment is normal with mesh filters. Use a consistent medium-coarse grind or add a paper filter.
Water draining too slowly?
Your grind may be too fine. Try a coarser grind and rinse the mesh thoroughly after each use.
Using pre-ground coffee?
Absolutely. Choose a medium-coarse grind when available for the best results.
