You can make coffee in the comfort of your own home like a barista. By choosing the right equipment and beans, you’d be able to make high-quality coffee and savor each sip!
Select the Brewing Method
Choosing a brewing method boils down to your preference and taste. There are some popular brewing techniques that need different levels of grinding to get the best flavor possible, including Pour-Over, French Press and Drip Coffee.
French Press is where you use coarsely ground beans and immerse them in hot water for around 4 minutes or so until you put them in the filter. This gives you a rich and intense cup of coffee that could energize you through your day at Narra Residences.
The Pour-Over method can give you a great cup of coffee if you practice. You need fresh beans that are ground and brewed with a process called pre-infusion where you pour hot water over the ground beans for 45 seconds before you proceed.
Drip Coffee is an easy way to get good coffee without taking up too much effort. To get the best and consistent flavor, you have to preheat water or invest in a machine with precise thermodynamics.
Choose Quality Coffee Beans
Get your coffee beans from an artisan supplier, local cafe, or local roaster. This ensures that your coffee beans are fresh and high quality. Do your research on the best coffee beans from regions known for coffee growing and farms. Transition from ground to whole beans to retain oils as you grind directly before you brew your coffee beans. Investing in a grinder could give you even better-tasting coffee.
Maintain your Equipment
Keep your equipment maintained and running so you can get high-quality coffee every time. This means cleaning the pot and grinder on a daily basis to make sure the coffee you get is fresh and not leftovers from the last brew.
