Making Coffee At Home

View:

Many people avoid drinking coffee at home because they feel that they cannot brew a decent pot of it. Before you waste a ton of a money purchasing coffee at your local cafe each morning, why not take a moment and try to brew your own perfect cup at home? There are a few steps that anyone can follow in order to brew a fantastic pot of your favorite beverage in your own kitchen.

When you are getting ready to learn the fine art of coffee making you need to make sure that you have purchased a good brand of coffee. The brand of coffee used makes a huge difference in the quality of coffee produced. Keep that in mind the next time you are tempted to purchase your store's generic brand of coffee. Investing in a flavored gourmet coffee can be more than worth the extra money.

Once you have picked out the coffee brand of your choice you need to make sure that your coffee pot is totally clean. A lot of people are in the bad habit of leaving old coffee in the pot for days, rinsing it out, and then brewing a fresh pot. This will seriously affect the taste of your coffee and the affect will not be for the good. Take the time to carefully clean your coffee pot and the filter area of the pot in order to get the best flavor.

Another way to get great flavor out of your coffee is to use filtered water. Some people will use bottled water instead, but this can be an expensive method for those of us that do not purchase bottled water regularly. Instead of using water from the tap or bottled water you can always use water that has been filtered through a water pitcher that has a built in filter. Using freshly filtered water will do wonders for the taste of your water.

When you are ready to add the coffee to the pot measure your coffee based on the ounces of water you are using. For those that are new to the coffee making process it is best to use two tablespoons for every six ounces of water. As you get more confident with making coffee you can change the amount of coffee used per cup. This can affect the strength of your coffee since some people do not enjoy stronger coffee.

Making Coffee At Home

Ahhhh coffee! It is one of the true joys in life, where a deep robust smell, thick crema and evocative flavor can transport us out of the hum-drum of every day living to a caf? in Italy. Indeed most people can't get through the day without their morning cup of coffee, and for coffee-lovers finding that perfect latte or espresso can be both a pleasure and a disappointment.

After all, how many times have you lined up, drooling at your local cafe, only to come away with a tepid, flavorless and utterly forgettable coffee that you would rather have rather gone without. Trying to find a decent cup of coffee really can drive coffee aficionados to fits of rage.

Making your own coffee at home is the perfect solution to the problem. In fact, we can all be world class baristas in the comfort of our own home if we invest in a good coffee maker, then master the equipment.

The first thing you need to think about is how many people you are likely to be making coffee for. The cup capacity of every coffee brewer, machine or percolator is an obvious, but often overlooked, consideration. If you only expect to be making coffee for two people on a regular basis, you are best off investing more money in a quality elite model two-cup machine, and for the rest of the time make do with a cheaper larger capacity plunger for emergencies or entertaining.

The sort of coffee you drink will also determine what sort of coffee-maker you buy. For example, you have a choice of filter drip machines; French drip filter machines (which do not use a paper filter); stove stop percolators; and counter top espresso machines. These days, counter top espresso machines are becoming more and more popular since they allow us to foam milk for lattes and cappuccinos like larger commercial machines do. So if you are a cappuccino freak, you will want one of these beauties!

With so many coffee connoisseurs amongst us, buying the right coffee maker is an important decision. Getting a quality coffee maker that suits your needs and tastes can really make the difference between starting the day on top of the world, or grumbling into another lackluster Styrofoam cup of weak coffee.
