Are You Brewing The Best Coffee At Home?

There are so many different brew methods that you can use to prepare your Java at home, and there are certain things to take into consideration.

Whether you are using a Stovetop Espresso Maker, a traditional drip brew coffee maker, a French Press, or even a percolator, it is still important to use fresh and clean filtered water. This means that if you are brewing with a French Press, it is not advised to use water that may have been sitting out in a kettle overnight. Use fresh filtered water, and make sure that it cools below the boiling point before you mix it with the coffee grounds, otherwise, it could burn them and cause the coffee to taste bitter.

Last of all, make sure that everything that you are using is fresh! It is important to order freshly roasted coffee beans from a company that will ship them the day they are roasted (like my website!), and then grind them freshly before you brew. It truly makes a difference!

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.
