Coffee brewing can be a complicated calculus. Variables like grind size, water temperature, TDS, and total brew time (and how the water gets distributed across that total brew time) just add to the slurry of confusion and make the whole process very agitating. Or maybe you donโ€™t agitate anymore. I canโ€™t keep up with the brew parameters du jour.

But thereโ€™s a refreshingly simple new brew guide out there, and itโ€™s only six steps (one of them is “wait”). Created by Mouthfeel, a magazineย that “explores the cross-section of food, gay culture and art,” the gif-drivenย tutorials are “powered by Stumptown” and areย part of Mouthfeel’s coffee-focused third issue.ย They areย master class in the art of chilling the fuck out and enjoying the process.

STEP ONE: WEIGH AND GRIND COFFEE
