Coffee name, type, variety, roast and processing details have been carried over where available.
You still choose the brewer, dose, grinder and cup style.
You'll need a coffee scale to follow the generated recipe.

Recipe details
Let's start with your coffee.
Coffee details stay locked when you revise a saved recipe. Start a new recipe if you change the coffee.
Brewer
What are you brewing with?
Choose your brewer size
Recipe Builder uses the dripper geometry as a conservative starting baseline. The exact dripper is saved for future calibration.
Coffee dose
How much coffee do you want to brew?
g
We've selected a good starting dose for this brewer. You can change it if needed.
Grinding
How is your coffee prepared?
You don't need to know the correct grind size. Recipe Builder will recommend a starting grind for your recipe.
Which grinder are you using?
Advanced and revision mode can log an unlisted grinder. Recipe Builder will use grind direction rather than inventing an exact setting.
Recipe Builder will give you one practical starting setting for supported grinders. Calibration can vary slightly, so use the result as your baseline and adjust after tasting.
What was the coffee ground for?
Roast & freshness
What's the roast level?
Saved as part of your Coffee Nerd recipe. Recipe Builder will not guess a standard roast category from this text.
Check the coffee bag if you're unsure. If it isn't listed, choose Not sure.
Cup profile
How would you like your coffee?

Pouring tip
Pour gently, steadily and with control. Avoid aggressive pouring or unnecessary agitation. Small controlled circles can help keep the coffee bed evenly saturated.
Maximum drawdown
-
Use the maximum drawdown as a reference, not a time to force. If the brew finishes earlier and tastes good, that's completely fine.
