How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Coffee

November 30, 2011 0 Comments coffee brewing

Brewing a great cup of coffee at home doesn’t take magic, but keeping a few things in mind will help to ensure you can learn to brew a perfect cup of coffee at home and stop spending hundreds on coffee shops every month.

1.  Clean Coffee Machine:  Having a coffee machine that is completely clean and free of any residual coffee residue can make a huge difference in the taste of your coffee.  Always check to make sure the machine is clean.  Also, I personally think coffee machines play a large part as well.  In my opinion, the absolute best is the Bunn Thermofresh 10 cup Thermal Carafe Home Coffee Brewer.

2.  Coffee Beans:  The key to a good cup of coffee is to have the freshest beans that you can.  Try to use beans within a couple weeks of being roasted if possible for the freshest taste.  Plan to purchase coffee every 1-2 weeks to ensure that it is always fresh.

3.  Water:  Many people think that water doesn’t matter in a cup of coffee, but you will get the best coffee by using filtered, cold water.  Tap water has its on flavor and that can impact your coffee.

4.  Grinding the Coffee Beans:  Ideally you will grind your beans right before using, and with a burr grinder.  That will give you the best cup of coffee since coffee flavors begin to degenerate after the bean is ground.  If you can not grind your coffee at home, try to buy your coffee in small batches.

5.  Amount of Coffee: The ratio of water to coffee is very important to get the perfect cup.  Most coffee houses and professional coffee roasters recommend two tablespoons for every 6 ounces of water.
