The taste of delicious coffee can indeed evoke the atmosphere. Coffee is also able to build the spirit in the morning. After waking up, coffee will make the body feel fresh and powerful. But none of that would be meaningless without a special taste.
The enjoyment and freshness of coffee is strongly influenced by the type of coffee. However, proper brewing techniques are also capable of great influence on the resulting flavor. For that, it is important for coffee lovers to know how to brew coffee properly.
Before you start brewing coffee, you first need to know that buying coffee and brewing it as soon as possible is the most appropriate action. This allows you to get the best taste of the coffee you want to enjoy. In addition, make sure also that the equipment to be used is really clean. Make sure there is no coffee or coffee leftover before.
If you buy coffee, be sure to buy coffee in the form of beans, and grind it when brewed. Grinder coffee or grinder tool also there are several types. Burr or mill grinder is more recommended because the grinder is able to produce consistent grinding results. Should not use a blade grinder because the coffee grinder is not able to provide consistent mill results.
Flavors that are too bitter or too flat taste all because of the extraction of coffee produced. If the coffee beans are milled in a way that is too smooth, then the bitter taste will be felt. Conversely, if the taste of coffee is too flat, all because of the milling less smooth.
The use of water also affects the resulting flavor.
The ideal water temperature for brewing coffee is between 90 to 96 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, coffee will be extracted optimally. Colder temperatures will cause the taste of coffee feels flat. Cooked coffee at too hot a temperature will also eliminate the taste quality of the coffee.
Old cooking or brewing coffee also affects the taste of coffee. The best taste of coffee will be felt after 4 minutes of contact between coffee with hot water. If you use a pot plunger, the ideal contact time is between 2 to 4 minutes. For this type of espresso coffee, the length of contact only ranges from 20 to 30 seconds. If the resulting flavor is less than optimal, it is likely that the contact time between coffee and hot water is too fast or even too long.
The best coffee taste can only be enjoyed as soon as the ideal contact time is reached. That's why, immediately enjoy the coffee that has been cooked. To keep the temperature in order to last longer, use a cup of coffee or a mug. But be sure to keep the coffee temperature at a temperature between 80 to 85 degrees Celsius. If you use an electric heater, be sure to never brew or heat the coffee for more than 15 minutes. One more thing to note is never to reheat your coffee. If it is cold, it would be better if you enjoy coffee in these conditions. Although it feels faded, this is much better than reheat it.
