If a good cup of coffee was so easy to make by simply just throwing in your
choice of coffee grinds into water and then into your percolator, then you could
settle for just any quality of beans. Unfortunately a bad cup of coffee is so
very easy to make. However, making a truly tasty and fresh cup of java every
morning requires you to do things properly before you drink it.Fresh water that
is cold is your first port of call. Pour it into your coffee machine for that
perfectly delicious brew. Avoid water that has been pre-boiled or comes from
your hot tap. The best results come from filling your machine with filtered or
bottled water, especially if your plumbing is old. This is especially important
in areas where there is an abundance of highly chlorinated or hard type
water.Water temperature is another critical aspect that will affect the final
results. Your water should be between 195° to 205° only. Overly hot water can
make your coffee far too bitter. Would you drink that? Overly cool water cannot
draw out the wonderful flavour, and usually no colour. You might as well drink
boiled water, right?If you use a coffee press in the morning, bring your water
to a boil for a minute, add it, turn on the machine, and let it do the rest.
Drip coffee machines can also benefit from scalding the pot ahead of time with
pre-heated water. This simple procedure is used for tea making, too. You
should pour the water into the pot and swish it around to warm it up. Then pour
it out and let the coffee drip in. This further emphasises the flavour and the
aroma.Of course, the most important aspect is having the proper grind for your
machine. Don't let anyone tell you that you can use any grind. There are two
main types of grinds, specially designed for the pressing pot or the electric or
bunn coffee makers. Whether you grind your beans yourself or buy them locally
ground, the press machine needs about 10 seconds of grinding to produce medium
or coarse grinds. You can pick up fairly cheap blade grinders anywhere.
Electric types and drips need grinds that have been process for fifteen to
twenty seconds to get a fine to medium grind. Whichever you use you will
rewarded with the perfect cup of coffee.
