Abstract
A method of brewing a coffee beverage by combining a dose of granulated coffee and water and maintaining the granulated coffee in the water for a brew time. The volume of water employed in practicing the method is a function of the dose of granulated coffee and the brew time is a function of the percent extraction of coffee from the dose of granulated coffee and a function of the percent of total dissolved solids derived from the dose of granulated coffee.
Claims9
A method for brewing coffee comprising the steps of providing a dose of coffee grinds having a grind number and an Agtron roast number, steeping the dose in water to create a liquid coffee and wet grounds in suspension, and extracting the liquid coffee from the suspension, wherein the dose is based on a desired amount of liquid coffee divided by 1 minus two times the ratio of desired extraction percentage and desired total dissolved solids percentage, multiplied by the ratio of desired extraction percentage and desired total dissolved solids percentage.
