Using your Grind and Brew
Select your grind size
A medium grind size (grind level 3 or 4) is recommended for SCA Gold Cup brewing.
When selecting grind size, finer grounds have a high surface area,
which makes over-extraction quick and easy.

Coarse
Too fine of a grind may cause over extraction, leaving flavors bitter
or ashy, and causing a muddy mouth-feel.

On the other hand, using too coarse of a grind may cause
extractions to come out watery or sour, lacking sweetness and
complexity.

To adjust grind size, turn the knob next to the bean hopper to
select from 6 grind settings, fine to coarse. It is recommended to
use grind 3 to 4 to balance the flavor and extraction.
Choose your strength
We recommend GOLD or MEDIUM for a smooth and rich flavor.
GOLD: An optimized brew, certified by the Specialty Coffee Association to be
perfectly balanced. This selection will brew your coffee to the rigorous standards of
the SCA, meeting requirements for total dissolved solids and extraction percentage.
For GOLD brews, the temperature is not adjustable.
LIGHT: A brew designed to create lighter flavors with slightly more acidity.
MEDIUM: A balanced brew that is slightly sweeter, with a smoother body and some
distinctive characteristics of the original coffee.
BOLD: A full-bodied, flavorful brew with more intense aromas, and clearer elements of the original
roast.
Extra-BOLD: A brew that maximizes strength for rich, robust, and flavorful coffee.
Strength
To customize the brew strength, press the Strength button. Continue to press the Strength button
to toggle through Strength selections. Choose from Light, Medium, Bold, Extra Bold and Gold (SCA
Certified Strength Setting).
NOTE: Press and hold the Strength button can turn on or turn off the beep sound when needed.
NOTE: Strengths can be customized in the app by adjusting the Grind time.
