Dr. Roast’s Brew Lab
Three grinds are offered. Fine Ground is for an espresso setup: start with your machine's recommended dose and adjust the grind slowly. Drip Grind suits a coffee maker; Whole Bean suits a grinder at home.

Meet the simple brewers
Drip: Water passes through grounds and a filter. Your existing machine is a useful place to start.
French press: Grounds steep in water, then a metal filter separates them. More oils and fine particles remain, giving a fuller texture. Use a coarse grind.
Chemex: A manual pour over brewer with a paper filter that catches oils and fine particles. Try it if you enjoy a clearer texture. Use a medium coarse grind.
AeroPress: A small manual brewer where coffee steeps before gentle pressing through a filter. Follow the recipe for your model. It is different from an espresso machine.
A scale and timer: Measuring coffee and water by weight, and keeping track of time, helps you repeat a cup you enjoyed. Change one thing at a time. A better routine can come before another purchase.
Count the Beans
Compare the bag sizes below using the same brewing example. A larger bag is better value per brew only when its price per gram is lower and it fits how quickly you use your coffee.
Standard shipping is included within all 50 U.S. states. Taxes are calculated at checkout.
Example: 20 g coffee with 320 g water per brew. Estimated cost is the bag price divided by its net coffee weight, multiplied by 20 g. Your mug size and recipe change the yield; this is not a guaranteed cup count. Milk and other additions are separate.
| Bag size | Bag | Per brew |
|---|---|---|
| 12 oz | $26.99 | $1.59 |
| 1 lb | $34.99 | $1.54 |
| 2 lb | $61.99 | $1.37 |
