subject: Tips To Make A Perfect Cup Of Coffee [print this page] Coffee has shot up in popularity in the recent years. Caffeine can indeed give you that buzz you need to get you through the day and the coffee industry is now enjoying more success than ever. Coffee can lift up your mood, give your body antioxidants that can help make your cells feel more renewed, and it can be a soothing drink whether you are alone or with a group of friends. Coffee blends nowadays are truly more fun and exciting.
Getting that perfect coffee cup is not just limited to your local coffee shops or fancier coffee shops that charge you too much for a cup. You can now get that perfect gourmet coffee taste and benefit in the comfort of your own home. Nowadays, coffee is also available in many different flavors. Try a few different flavors out for yourself to see which one you like the best.
Making that perfect coffee cup involves the proper grinding, perfect brewing, and tasteful serving. Most say that what you should grind are Arabica beans to get that strong coffee flavor. While there are many coffee bean variants, Arabica still ranks to be the best and most popular coffee bean due to its pure, classic yet strong taste. When roasting, make it a dark roast so you get to have that strong full-bodied taste. The basic measurements for the classic coffee cup are 2 tablespoons of coffee with 6 ounces of water, and brewed for 4-6 minutes.
Other important things that can greatly affect the taste and quality of your coffee are making sure that you keep your utensils and brewing and grinding equipment clean. You should also rinse your paper filters before using them because the fibers that can be found in them will leave a noticeable taste in your coffee - a taste that can only come from unrinsed filters. The use of a coffee mug or a coffee cup is just a matter of preference whichever you use will not significantly affect the taste of the coffee.
Do not re-use coffee grounds as well and always drink a fresh cup. A cup of coffee will stay fresh for 10 minutes, and if it gets cold, do not reheat but rather make a new fresh cup. Others would advise the use of clean cold water when filtering so the filtered coffee will have a fresh taste and the temperature change can make the water and coffee even fresher.
Coffee has indeed a lot of benefits. You can really start your day at a higher energy level. The perfect coffee will definitely stimulate your taste buds and from now on you will probably not settle for that instant coffee at the office. You can get your perfect brew even on your first try and do it over and over again everyday. It is no wonder that people get to love and appreciate coffee more so when you are in need of a caffeine lift. Just brew one on your own and have a great coffee experience.
