Brewing tip · Brew a touch stronger—use a slightly higher coffee-to-water ratio for a fuller-bodied cup that stands up beautifully to the night.
Under wide skies and starry nights, great coffee makes the fire burn a little slower.

“Two minutes of development is the whole game: deep enough for smoke and chocolate, drop at 427°F before second crack takes the sweetness. Dark, not burnt — that's the line we hold.”
