Take your coffee brewing to the next level with our expertly crafted guide for the Breville Precision Brewer. This comprehensive resource is designed to help you consistently produce top-notch batch brew coffee, bringing out the full potential of your Zest coffee beans. By following our recommended settings and detailed step-by-step instructions, you’ll be able to brew the perfect cup every time, ensuring each brew highlights the exceptional quality and flavour which we all know is possible.
STEP-BY-STEP BATCH BREW GUIDE:
- PREPARE YOUR EQUIPMENT
- Start with a thoroughly cleaned Breville Precision Brewer to avoid any residual flavours affecting your fresh brew.
- Use fresh, filtered water in the tank to ensure a clean taste and to protect your brewer from mineral build-up over time.
- GRIND THE COFFEE
- Set your EK43 grinder to 14, which provides the ideal particle size for balanced extraction.
- Measure out 60 grams of Zest coffee beans per litre of water. For best results, we recommend brewing batches between 700ml to 1800ml, adjusting the coffee amount accordingly.
- LOAD THE COFFEE
- Place a high-quality paper filter into the brewer’s filter basket. This step is crucial for removing fine particles and ensuring a clean, smooth brew.
- Evenly distribute the freshly ground coffee into the filter. Uniform distribution is key to achieving consistent extraction across all coffee grounds.
- SET THE BREWER
- Select the “Fast” mode on your Breville Precision Brewer. This setting is optimised for quick yet thorough extraction, preserving the delicate flavours of your Zest coffee.
- Set the water temperature between 88°C and 93°C, adjusting it to the specific Zest coffee you’re brewing. Check the individual coffee recipe for the ideal temperature to bring out the best in each blend or single origin.
- START BREWING
- Begin the brewing process by pressing the start button to initiate the carefully calibrated cycle.
- Keep an eye on the brewing process, observing the flow rate and extraction. This attentiveness allows for any necessary adjustments to ensure consistency in every batch.
- SERVE AND STORE
- Once brewing is complete, gently swirl the coffee in the thermos to ensure even distribution of flavours and aromatics.
- For the best flavour, serve the coffee immediately. If you need to store it, keep it in a high-quality thermos for up to 4 hours. Any leftover coffee can be repurposed as a refreshing cold brew, reducing waste.
EXpert tips for brewing excellence
- / REGULAR CALIBRATION:
Keep your EK43 grinder accurately calibrated to maintain consistent grind size and optimal extraction across all your brews. - / COFFEE FRESHNESS:
Always use freshly roasted Zest coffee beans, grinding them just before brewing. This maximises the flavour and aromatic complexity of your coffee. - / WATER QUALITY:
- Use high-quality, filtered water to avoid unwanted flavours and ensure a clean, crisp taste in your final brew.
- / ROUTINE MAINTENANCE:
- Regularly clean your Breville Precision Brewer to maintain peak performance and prevent flavour contamination between brews.
- / ADJUST FOR TASTE:
- Fine-tune your brew based on taste:
- If the coffee is too acidic or weak, adjust the grind size finer (e.g., to 12 on the EK43) to increase extraction.
- If the brew is too strong or bitter, coarsen the grind (e.g., to 16 on the EK43) to reduce over-extraction.
