Tips For Brewing A Good Cup Of Coffee
Here are some things to keep in mind when brewing your next cup of coffee to help ensure a delicious result!
Always make sure you start with a clean coffee maker
Always use fresh filtered water
Rinse your coffee pot before starting
Use the correct filter size for your coffee maker
Use only the amount of coffee you will be drinking
Spread the coffee evenly around in the filter bag
After the coffee is ready, stir it before pouring it into your coffee cup to help bring out the best flavor.
Leaving the coffee pot on a warming plate is actually not a good idea; Coffee will begin to lose it’s aroma and flavor quickly after brewing, and leaving it sitting on the warming plate will just add to the bitterness of the coffee. If you brew more than you will be drinking, then try poring the extra coffee into a thermal container rather than leaving it on the warmer.
Coffee is best brewed around 96 degrees celsius
Try different spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon, and flavorings like vanilla and almond to create your own personal favorite brew.
A tip for cleaning glass coffee pots is to soak the pot in baking soda and water before thoroughly cleaning it.
And finally, don’t follow the common advice of storing your coffee in the refrigerator. Coffee will absorb other flavors. Store your ground coffee or beans in an airtight container in a cool dark place.
