Blacksmith's Brew Guides

What You'll Need

Blacksmith Coffee

19 g (finely ground)

Filtered Water

250 ml at 92°C

How to Brew

Purge & Prep

  • Purge the group head to stabilize temperature.
  • Wipe and dry the portafilter.

Grind & Dose

  • Pour 30–40g of water evenly over the grounds.
  • Let it sit for 30 seconds.
  • This releases trapped gases for better extraction.

Distribute

  • Slowly pour in circles up to 150g total.
  • Keep the water level
    steady—not too aggressive

Tamp

  • Continue pouring gently until you reach 240g total.

Extract

  • Let all the water drip through.
  • Total brew time should be around 2mins 30seconds.

Stop

  • Stop the shot at 40g yield.

Parameters

  • Dose: 19g coffee
  • Yield: 40g espresso

  • Water Temp: 92°C
  • Time: 25–30 seconds

Target

  • Balanced flavor with good body and crema.
  • Extraction time between 25–30 seconds.

Dial-In Tips

  • Too fast (<25s): Grind finer → increases resistance → slows flow
  • Too slow (>30s): Grind coarser → reduces resistance → speeds flow

Purge & Prep

  • Rinse the paper filter with hot water (removes paper taste + warms everything).
  • Discard rinse water.
  • Add ground coffee and level the bed.

Bloom (0:00–0:30)

  • Pour 30–40g of water evenly over the grounds.
  • Let it sit for 30 seconds.
  • This releases trapped gases for better extraction.

Main pour (0:30–1:30)

  • Slowly pour in circles up to 150g total.
  • Keep the water level steady—not too aggressive.

Final pour (1:30–2:00)

  • Continue pouring gently until you reach 240g total.
