HOW TO BREW A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE!


Drip method coffeemaking is the optimal process for brewing gourmet beans. Don't use a percolator if you can help it. Water and coffee already brewed in the first part of the cycle is mixed through the grinds repeatedly until the percolator finishes brewing. This causes the coffee to taste astringent. You want the water to be in touch with the grinds only once. That's why coffee made by pouring hot water over grinds in a filter paper is best.

Be sure that you grind your beans to match the filter papers or machine that you are using. Too fine a grind will cause the filter to clog- to coarse a grind will make the water flow through the filter too fast and your brew will be weak.

Always use the same amount of grinds per pot, about 2 tablespoons per cup and 1 for the pot. If its too strong find an amount per cup that suits you and stick to it. Once you've established your personal cup amount, use it everytime. If you buy a coffee that tastes too strong, don't use less per cup, changes to a lighter bean or roast.
