How to make better filter coffee at home? Discover the perfect ratio and the importance of fresh beans!
Want to know how many grams of coffee you need for a delicious filter coffee? Or are you curious how the freshness of coffee beans affects the flavor? Then you've come to the right place. This guide will help you step by step to a better cup of filter coffee – right at home.
Why fresh coffee beans really make a difference
Filter coffee isn't just about technique – the freshness of your beans plays a key role.
- Fresh beans contain more natural fats , and it is precisely these that contain the flavours and aromas that make filter coffee so special.
- Always check the roasting date on your packaging. Beans older than two months? Many of the aromas have already evaporated.
- Preferably choose single-origin beans . These are lighter roasted than espresso blends and retain their characteristic flavor notes better.
👉 For filter coffee we recommend:
- Cuba: Creamy & floral
- Guatemala: Creamy & fresh
- Sulawesi: Full & spicy
- Brazil & Ethiopia: Full & fresh

The perfect ratio: how many grams of coffee per cup?
The basic ratio in the Specialty Coffee world is simple yet powerful:
6 grams of ground coffee per 100 ml of water.
✅ Examples:
- 1 cup of 300 ml = 18 grams of coffee
- 1 liter of filter coffee = 60 grams of coffee
🎯 Why a scale?
Consistency is key. A regular coffee spoon can easily get it wrong. Use a coffee scale for accurate measurements – the same top quality in your cup every day.
How to keep your beans fresh (and tasty!)
From the moment coffee beans are roasted, their flavor slowly begins to deteriorate. But... you can slow the process!
🔒 Vacuum = fresh:
Store your beans in a vacuum container to:
- Keep oxygen and moisture out
- To slow down fat oxidation
- To keep the beans aromatic and full of flavour for longer
These jars have a smart lid that creates a vacuum seal over and over again – and is rechargeable, so sustainable in use!
