A FEW COFFEE NOTES FROM US AT DEKÁF:
- Grind fresh when possible for the best extraction and clarity.
- Decaf benefits especially from even extraction.
- For a stronger cup: try adjusting your ratio closer to 1:10. For something lighter: aim for 1:14 or 1:15.
- Cold brew is steeped as a concentrate - we recommend diluting 1:3 or to taste after steeping.
- For espresso, use a 19g dose with ~28g yield to achieve a smooth, syrupy shot with structured clarity.
