Quick answer
For a balanced cup, brew Laird Superfood Organic Peruvian Medium Roast Ground Coffee at about 200°F (93°C) using a 1:16 coffee-to-water ratio by weight—roughly 2 tablespoons per 6 ounces of water. Store it in an airtight container away from light and heat to preserve freshness.
Why medium roast Peruvian coffee suits everyday brewing
Medium roast hits a sweet spot between brightness and body, so it works well in drip machines, pour-over, and French press without demanding precise technique. Peruvian beans are often mild and balanced, making them a forgiving choice if you’re still dialing in your method.
Because this coffee is ground, you can skip the grinder—but that also means you should adjust your brew time and storage to keep the flavors intact.
When to tweak the ratio or temperature
If your cup tastes weak or sour, tighten the ratio slightly (more coffee) or raise the water temperature a few degrees. If it turns bitter or harsh, coarsen the grind (if you grind at home) or lower the temperature. For iced coffee, brew a stronger concentrate using a 1:8 ratio and pour over ice.
Brewing and storage FAQ
- What water ratio should I use?
- Start with 1 part coffee to 16 parts water by weight (about 2 tablespoons per 6 ounces). Adjust to taste: use more coffee for a stronger cup, less for a milder one. A kitchen scale gives the most consistent results.
- What water temperature is best?
- Use water just off the boil, around 200°F (93°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, let boiling water rest for 30–45 seconds before pouring. Avoid boiling water directly on the grounds—it can extract bitterness.
- What does it taste like?
- Expect a smooth, balanced cup with mild acidity and gentle sweetness, typical of Peruvian medium roasts. It’s approachable black but also stands up to milk or cream. Try it black first to appreciate the nuances.
- How should I store ground coffee?
- Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dark cupboard—not the fridge or freezer. Use within a few weeks of opening for the best flavor. Buy smaller amounts more often if you drink coffee slowly.
- Can I use it in a French press?
- Yes. Use a medium-coarse grind if grinding yourself, or use the pre-ground as is with a 4-minute steep and slow plunge. Pre-ground works fine; just adjust steep time to avoid over-extraction.
