Today, I will propose to you how to make a great cup of coffee. You can do it.
There are a few secrets to the process. I will share these with you.
Start with the bean and pick your roast. Quality coffee can only come from a
quality coffee bean that is properly roasted. The process of roasting a coffee
bean is complex and can result in a given bean tasting very different depending
on how it is roasted. If you desire a strong intense flavour to your coffee,
choose a dark roast (ex: French Roast). If you like to a light flavour, less
intense, choose a lighter roast.
Never use pre-ground coffee. Pre-ground coffee will lose its flavour and essence
within a short period of time. Grinding before you brew will assure you that no
flavour is lost due to time.
Always use cold filtered water when brewing your coffee. The water you use
represents 98% of your cup of coffee. Filtering the water will remove impurities
that could affect the taste. Poor quality water can come from a variety of
sources. Example, older house will have older pipes. Theses pipes tend to give
the water an off flavour. You will want to remove this by filtering. The basic
rule is the better the water, the better the coffee.
Skip the paper filters and go for the gold. Yes, these are 23k Gold plated
stainless steel filters. Paper filters will influence the flavour of the coffee
in a negative manner. The Gold plated filters influence the flavour by allowing
natural oils to infiltrate into your brew, adding a level of flavour and aroma
you wont find with paper coffee filters. Another plus is that these filters can
be reused over and over, and will last a very long time. Not only will your
coffee be better, but you will be helping the environment by saving on waste.
Never over do it on the add-ins. Cut down on the sugar, cream, and other flavour
add-ins to really enjoy the true essence of the brew. If we disguise the coffee
to much; we will never know the true taste.
Part of what makes a great cup of coffee is how and when we enjoy it. We all
have our favourite time and rituals. For me, nothing beats enjoying a great cup
of coffee on a Sunday morning and reading the paper.
