With the proper information, anyone can brew a consistently great cup of coffee every time. Lets go through the procedures of coffee making to take the mystery and haphazardness out of this old world beverage.
First, let me say these procedures may look lengthy and intimating. Truly they are really quite logical and common sense steps that are very simple to follow. But be advised, if you do not take your coffee making and drinking experience seriously and therefore choose to not follow these steps, you are not getting the best cup of coffee that your money can buy. The choice is up to you.
Without the proper cleaning, coffee sediment and oils will settle in your coffee making device that will grow stale as they are left exposed to the air. These build up producing an off, bitter taste in the cup-quite an unpleasant experience.
Select the freshest, best quality beans available. I suggest you head to your specialty coffee purvey Silver Cup Coffee and select from their coffees. Many of people have purchased the supermarket brands of pre-ground or whole bean coffees. The problem with these coffees is you can never be too sure how long the beans sit in those chutes and, as you know, exposure to air is an enemy of freshly roasted coffee beans. We recommend your specialty coffee purveyor Silver Cup Coffee, a Seattle coffee company, not to discredit your friendly grocer, but because specialty coffee retailers are solely in the business to sell coffee beans and therefore you can be more confident their beans are fresher because they move much more rapidly than supermarket beans.
Use the best possible water available. This is key to a great cup of coffee and should not be taken lightly. When you consider that coffee is made of approximately 98-99% water, you must use good tasting water. If you use plain tap water as I do, then be sure it doesn’t have any strange flavors, odors or textures in your mouth. If it does, and you are a serious coffee-holic, then consider either a water filtration device or use a water delivery service. If you choose to use your water from the faucet, be sure it is cold and runs for a few seconds to aerate the water for your machine or water kettle.
Grind your beans just before you make your coffee to retain freshness. Select the proper grind for your type of brewing method.
Measure the coffee to be used and measure the volume of your coffee cup. I can’t stress how important this is. One six-ounce cup of coffee needs two tablespoons of coffee beans. If that sounds like a lot then you have probably been making less than full strength coffee.
Store coffee in an airtight container on your counter or shelf if using quickly. The less exposure to air and water caused by condensation in your refrigerator the better tasting your cup of coffee. If you do choose to store your coffee in the freezer, again, place it in an airtight container and use within 2-3 months.
