How to Brew the Best Damn Coffee (The Battle Born Way)
Share
Let’s be honest — life’s too short for bad coffee. If your morning cup tastes like burnt motor oil or dishwater, we’ve got you.
Brewing great coffee isn’t rocket science. It’s more like gold mining: the right tools, a little patience, and a whole lot of grit.
Here’s how to brew the best cup of coffee like a Battle Born legend:
1. Start with Fresh Beans
Most store-bought beans are older than a ghost town bartender.
Ours? Roasted the same day we ship them. That’s peak freshness.
The fresher the bean, the bolder the brew. Trust us — your taste buds will thank you.
2. Grind Right, Not Tight
Grinding your beans fresh makes a massive difference.
- Coarse for French press
- Medium for drip
- Fine for espresso
Wrong grind? You’ll either get sad, watery coffee or a bitter mud bath.
3. Water Matters (More Than You Think)
Use clean, filtered water — not the stuff from your rusty kitchen tap.
If your water tastes funky, your coffee will too.
Pro tip: Shoot for 195°F to 205°F. No boiling lava, please.
4. The Golden Ratio
General rule:
2 tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water.
Want it stronger? Add more grounds — not more heat.
Over-extracting is a crime punishable by weak mornings.
5. Choose Your Weapon
French press, pour-over, AeroPress, or old-school drip — whatever your style, just keep it clean and consistent.
If your brewing gear smells like last week’s brew... wash it. Your cup deserves better.
6. No Microwaves. Ever.
Reheating coffee is like microwaving a steak.
Just... don’t.
Brew it fresh or drink it cold like a cowboy with deadlines.
Bonus Tip: Drink It Your Way
Cream, sugar, black, oat milk, butter — we don’t judge.
Coffee’s meant to make you feel alive, not follow rules.
Unless it’s instant coffee.
That isn’t coffee. That’s campfire punishment.
Final Sip
Brewing great coffee isn’t about fancy gadgets or barista awards — it’s about respect.
Respect for the bean.
Respect for the process.
Respect for your morning routine.
At Desert Dawn Coffee, we make sure your coffee starts strong — now it’s up to you to brew it bold.
