| Prepare for the best cup of coffee you've ever tasted! |
Once you taste a great cup of coffee for the first time, it’s nearly impossible not to fall in love with it. The amazing sensations and flavors it leaves in your mouth have a long-lasting effect that can boost your mood and make your day better almost immediately. If you’re not that much of a fan, it might be because a good coffee hasn’t found you yet. Or maybe you’re the one who hasn’t found it.
Brewing a perfect cup of coffee at home is not as simple task as it seems. Well, it’s not really hard either, but there are many mistakes people tend to make and many misconceptions about the process of brewing coffee. Check out if you’re guilty of some of these coffee sins and get ready to open your eyes (and taste buds) to a new coffee experience!
Learn the correct coffee-water ratio!
It happens more often than you think. If you don’t get the correct amount of water or coffee, your cup can end up tasting either too strong or too weak, damaging the whole experience for you. To solve this little issue, all you have to do is add 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 6 to 8 ounces of water. You can increase the amount of coffee to 3 tablespoons if you prefer a strong cup of coffee.
Coffee isn’t fresh or was not properly stored
This particular sin comes in many forms. For example, you definitely shouldn’t be storing your coffee in the refrigerator, as it’s very likely to absorb other foods' smell and moisture. Always keep it at room temperature in a jar with an airtight lid. You should also keep track of when you bought your coffee bag because it won’t stay fresh forever. If you wait too long, gases responsible for its flavor will escape giving you a tasteless and even bitter cup of coffee. Once you open the bag, you have seven days to brew it!
The same thing can be said for people who let their coffee sit for too long. If you leave it on your table and let it cool, it will get bitter. The best thing you can do is brewing it when you will drink it, so sit down and enjoy your coffee time! It’s unmistakably worth it, plus we all need that little moment for ourselves.
Use the right brewing technique and ground coffee
You might not know that your coffee machine is made for a specific size of ground coffee. Most decent grinders should be able to grind your beans, but you need to customize settings. Check out your coffee maker so you can be sure which are the best types to use. If you happen to be one of those who likes to grind coffee beans before brewing it, you should know that every brewing method requires a specific type of grinding. A French press requires a coarser grind while a drip brewer produces the best result if finely ground coffee beans are used.
Should you use tap water?
Well, there’s nothing inherently wrong with using tap water. However, we only recommend you use it if it’s water you would drink. If it doesn’t taste good, it will most certainly ruin your coffee. Water is the second most important ingredient in your beverage, so you shouldn’t take it lightly. If you’re not sure, it’s better just to use filtered water to enjoy a much better flavor.
You’re not using coffee of good quality
Sometimes, it’s not a matter of what you do, but of what you buy. You can have the best technique and coffee machine in the industry, but if the product is not good, you won’t be able to save your precious cup of joe. Be sure to get high-quality coffee.
