Not every cup fits every human. Coffee for Humans exists because your coffee should match your personality, your pace, your palate, your vibe. Let’s help you meet your match.
Why “coffee personality” matters
Beyond caffeine, coffee is a sensory experience, aroma, acidity, body, and finish. When you understand your own taste (bright vs. chocolatey, delicate vs. bold), you pick better, and enjoy more.

Brew your personality to perfection
- Grind size = extraction control. Too fine tastes harsh; too coarse tastes thin. Adjust until the cup tastes sweet and clear.
- Water matters. If your tap water is very hard/soft, try filtered; it can unlock aromatics and sweetness.
- Time & ratio. Start at 1:16 (25g coffee to 400g water) for filter methods, then tweak.
- Rest your beans. Most coffees peak 3–14 days after roast.
