Helpful Coffee Brewing Tips

No matter what your preferred coffee brew method may be, here are some helpful tips for you!

Always remember to use the coarsest grind of coffee available for your French Press. If the grounds are too fine, it will be difficult to press down your plunger to extract the French Press brew.
• You can also heat milk in your microwave or on the stove, and then place it in your French Press. When you press down the plunger back and forth for several minutes, it will froth the milk for an easy addition to your daily coffee.
• If you like drip brewed coffee, you may want to consider using a permanent mesh filter, which comes in many home coffee makers, to leave more essential oils in the brew for a better taste.
• If you are a fan of the Moka pot or stovetop espresso maker, then make sure not to pack your grounds too tightly, or it will cause problems in your brew.

The Top 3 Most Popular Coffee Selections

Coffee is a delicious treat, but are you drinking the best of the best?

Espresso: Espresso is a truly popular coffee choice, and it is made with finely ground dark roasted espresso beans. These coffee grounds will be placed into the portafilter of an espresso machine, and water will be forced through to extract a delicious brew. The ideal espresso shot should brew within 25 seconds, and it should be topped with a rich and thick hazelnut colored crema.
Cappuccino: This is a wonderful coffee treat, and it is made with one third espresso and two thirds frothed milk. To froth your milk correctly, it is important to start out with cold milk in a cold metal pitcher. For the perfect foam, make sure to keep your steam wand below the surface of the milk to prevent bubbles.
Turkish Coffee: This is a wonderful coffee variety to try, and it is made with finely ground coffee beans that almost resemble a powder. This is a sweeter coffee brew since it will often come brewed with sugar already.
