DIFFERENT WAYS TO BREW COFFEE

Before understanding the different ways to brew coffee, it is essential to narrow down how much time and money one can spend on it. Brewing coffee can take some time, and the technology is not cheap. Hence, streamline these points before investing in your coffee maker.

1. Pour-over coffee

This method presents a delicate blend that resembles a juice or tea. The coffee is smooth. Begin by taking three flat scoops of coffee beans, and medium grind them. In another container, fix up the filters dexterously and dampen them.

Pouring hot water over the filter removes the paper-like taste and obliterates the sour taste. The taste of water is easily distinguishable. Once the filter is damp, get rid of the excess water and add the ground coffee. The coffee should flatly settle at the end of the Chemex, hence give it a good shake.

Next, use a kettle to pour the hot water onto the ground coffee, dampening it and then working your way up. It takes about 3-4 minutes to implement these steps. Gently stir the coffee and the water held by the filter, and then serve your coffee once it’s a little cooled down.

2. Coffeemaker

It is easier to make coffee using this medium. Begin With selecting your coffee. You can either buy ground coffee from the market or print it yourself. Once you’ve chosen your coffee, fill the carafe with cold water. The water quality can significantly impact the taste.

Steer clear of tao filters and use filtered water. Now, pour this water into the reservoir and install the carafe back to its position. Add the coffee to the filter according to your taste. Now, switch the coffee maker on and sit back to witness the sorcery.

People prefer this model because it is hassle-free and guarantees good coffee.

3. French press

Choose your coffee and try to keep it coarse. Begin with adding one tablespoon of coffee. In a kettle, boil water about 118 liters or a little more. The water must come to a full boil, post which one must let it stay there for another 30 seconds.  Empty the water into the carafe with your ground coffee. Make sure you pour slowly and in circular motions. Stir and shut the French press and wait for 4 minutes. Gently press the liver down, and voila. Enjoy.
