Coffee world
The brewing library.
Choose your brewer, find a starting point and change one thing at a time. These cards are educational suggestions, not tests of current Baltissima lots. Your model’s manual takes precedence.
Manual filter / V60
Manual filter / V60
A starting point, not a guaranteed result
- Dry coffee
- 15 g
- Input water
- 250 g
- Indicative water temperature
- 92–96 °C
- Indicative time
- 2.5–4 min
Prepare the correct filter and vessel. Rinse the filter, discard rinse water and add coffee. Wet the whole bed, then pour in calm stages. Observe taste and flow; do not extend brewing merely to reach a time.

A starting point, not a guaranteed result
- Dry coffee
- 15 g
- Input water
- 250 g
Match the proper filter and volume to the vessel. Do not block the air channel with the filter. Start with a filter ratio and medium-coarse grind; evaluate before changing again.
Automatic filter brewer
Automatic filter brewer
A starting point, not a guaranteed result
- Dry coffee
- 30 g
- Input water
- 500 g
Check capacity and the correct filter. Weigh coffee and water and start the programme according to the manual. The brewer controls pouring. Next time change only ratio or grind; this is not espresso.
French press
French press
A starting point, not a guaranteed result
- Dry coffee
- 20 g
- Input water
- 300 g
- Indicative time
- ≈4 min
Use a suitable vessel and coarser grind. Add water, wait about four minutes and lower the plunger slowly. Do not force strong resistance. Pour the brew and compare texture.
AeroPress Original
AeroPress Original
A starting point, not a guaranteed result
- Indicative water temperature
- 85 °C
- Indicative time
- 60 s
For Original, start with the current guide: 16–18 g coffee, medium grind, about 85°C and 60 seconds after stirring. Follow model markings for water. Use a stable cup and gentle pressure; do not invert by default.
Moka pot
Moka pot
A starting point, not a guaranteed result
Fill water according to the manual without covering the valve. Fill the basket without tamping. Use moderate heat. Do not open the hot pot under pressure; let it cool. Do not apply espresso’s 18/36 ratio.
Espresso machine
Espresso machine
A starting point, not a guaranteed result
- Dry coffee
- 18 g
- Beverage yield
- 36 g
- Indicative time
- 25–35 s
Match the dose to the basket, distribute evenly and prepare the bed. Weigh the beverage in the cup. 18 g → 36 g in 25–35 seconds is a starting point; judge flavour and flow, not time alone. Change one parameter.
Bean-to-cup machine
Bean-to-cup machine
A starting point, not a guaranteed result
Start with the manual, cleanliness and one coffee. Choose a programme for your cup. Adjust the grinder only as the manufacturer allows. No universal click setting or gram recipe fits every model.
Switch / immersion and valve
Switch / immersion and valve
A starting point, not a guaranteed result
- Indicative time
- ≈2 min
Match dose and water to device size. The valve holds water with coffee, then allows flow. The manufacturer’s suggestion includes about two minutes of immersion. Open the valve as instructed, keeping the vessel stable.
No-bypass / Pulsar
No-bypass / Pulsar
A starting point, not a guaranteed result
- Dry coffee
- 20 g
- Input water
- 340 g
Limiting bypass means less water travelling around the bed. Start with one manufacturer recipe and observe valve control. The 20 g / 340 g example is neither a universal standard nor a better-flavour guarantee.
Hot filter coffee onto ice
Hot filter coffee onto ice
A starting point, not a guaranteed result
- Dry coffee
- 15 g
- Input water
- 150 g
- Food-safe ice
- 100 g
Editorial proposal: 15 g coffee, 150 g hot water and 100 g food-safe ice: 250 g total water. Use a vessel suitable for temperature changes and adjust grind. This is not cold brew, which extracts cold. For cold brew, follow brewer instructions, hygiene and refrigeration; brewing time alone does not establish shelf life.
Water, a grinder and one small change.
Repeatability helps you understand your cup better than a collection of gadgets.
