Methods of Making Coffee

General Tips for Great Coffee
  • Freshness : Use freshly roasted and ground coffee beans. Store them in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture.
  • Water Quality : Use filtered water to avoid any off-flavors from tap water.
  • Coffee-to-Water Ratio : Generally, a ratio of 1:15 to 1:18 (coffee to water) is recommended, but this can be adjusted based on personal preference.
  • Grind Size : Match the grind size to your brewing method. Coarser for methods like French press, finer for espresso.
  • Equipment Cleanliness : Regularly clean your coffee-making equipment to prevent buildup of oils and residue that can affect taste.

With these methods and tips, you can enjoy a delicious cup of coffee tailored to your taste!
