Nope! Here's my pitch: If you use a recipe to cook or bake, why wouldn't you use a recipe for brewing coffee too?  Recipes take out the guess work.  And guess what...if you want to develop your coffee-making craft, weighing out your coffee to a specific coffee:water ratio takes out the guess work, especially for beginners! Guess who's on the show?  It's my bride of 12 years, Katie! · Call to Action:  Start figuring out your own coffee “recipe” for whatever way you are brewing hot coffee. This will require getting a gram-accurate scale if you don’t already have one. ($10 on Amazon; to nearest 1g is fine) Use a 16:1 ratio on a batch this week and adjust from there. See what you think!
