BREWING &
PREPARATION GUIDE
Brewing coffee is a balance of ratio, method, and intention. The following guidelines are designed to help you experience Coffee Penida at its best, while allowing room for personal preference. These ratios serve as a refined starting point, honoring clarity, balance, and consistency.​
Grinding Your Coffee Beans
Grinding coffee just before brewing preserves freshness, aroma, and natural oils that define the character of 100% Arabica coffee.
Grinding Options

Electric Burr Grinder
Produces consistent grind size for balanced extraction across all brewing methods. -
Hand Grinder
A traditional and portable option that offers excellent control. Ideal for pour-over, drip, and manual brewing, while encouraging a slower, more intentional coffee ritual.
Grind Size Guide

Medium → Drip Coffee, Pour-Over

(Blade grinders are not recommended, as uneven particles can lead to bitterness or under-extraction.)
How to Prepare Drip Coffee (15g Drip Bag)
Each Coffee Penida drip bag contains 15g of freshly ground 100% Arabica coffee, carefully portioned to deliver balance, clarity, and aroma.
​
-
Secure the drip bag over your cup, ensuring it sits evenly.
-
Heat water to 90–95°C, just below boiling.
-
Gently pour a small amount of hot water over the coffee and allow it to bloom for 20–30 seconds, releasing aroma and enhancing extraction.
-
Continue pouring the remaining water slowly in stages, allowing the coffee to filter naturally.
-
Once brewing is complete, remove the drip bag and enjoy.
Recommended water volume (per 15g drip bag):
-
200ml → bolder and more intense
-
220ml → balanced and smooth (recommended)
-
230ml → lighter with a clean finish
This gentle, gravity-based method delivers a refined and consistent cup—preserving the natural character of Arabica coffee and ensuring a thoughtful coffee experience, fresh from farm to your cup.
