Brewing the perfect cup of coffee can be done by anyone. Knowing how to do brew coffee properly will allow you to enjoy your cup and allow for the natural tastes and flavors to come out. Preparation A clean machine You will want to make sure that your coffee maker and pot are clean. Brewing Cold, fresh water Using cold and fresh water from the start will insure that your coffee tastes good. Coffee is made up of mostly water, therefore this is a key step. Use a clean glass to pour the water into the reservoir. Do not taint the water by using the carafe to pour the water. Premium coffee beans Using premium coffee beans will give you the freshest and more flavorful tasting pot of coffee as well. Your beans should be stored in an air tight container. They should only touch air when they are being grinded and then promptly placed into your coffee machine. Coffee Amount Use around two rounded tablespoons of coffee per cup of water. After Remove the filter immediately Allowing the filter to sit in your coffee machine means that coffee will continue to drip in to your freshly brewed coffee. Although the coffee is fresh in your carafe, the coffee dripping from the filter will be bitter. Thus, you could ruin a fresh pot of coffee. Serve it right away Coffee looses its flavor as soon as it hits the air. Serve your coffee fresh and you will be able to get the most out of it! |
