Coffee Brew Log

A repeatable way to improve one brew at a time.

1. Record the recipe

Date

Coffee / roast date

Brewer

Grinder / setting

Coffee dose (g)

Water (g or ml)

Ratio

Water temperature

Brew time

Beverage yield (g)

2. Taste the result

Strength: Light □   Balanced □   Strong □

Extraction: Sour □   Balanced □   Bitter □

Texture: Thin □   Round □   Heavy □

Notes

3. Choose one adjustment

Keep the rest of the recipe the same so you can learn what changed the cup.

Sour or sharp: Grind finer or extend contact time.

Bitter or dry: Grind coarser or shorten contact time.

Too weak: Use more coffee or less water.

Too strong: Use less coffee or more water.

Next-brew change:

Simple dial-in workflow

  1. 1. Measure coffee and water by weight.
  2. 2. Brew using the recorded recipe and timing.
  3. 3. Taste after the coffee cools slightly.
  4. 4. Change one variable for the next brew, then log the result.

How this worksheet improves coffee

A brew ratio controls strength, while grind size and contact time strongly affect extraction. Logging a baseline and changing one variable makes a result easier to repeat than changing dose, grind, and time together.
