Hey, it’s me—Caffeine. The one that keeps you going. But listen, we need to have a talk about something serious.
You’re abusing your beans. It’s painful to watch.
Let’s fix that, shall we? Here’s how to brew me the right way and get the best out of every cup.
1. The Golden Ratio
The secret is simple:
1 to 2 tablespoons of coffee for every 6 ounces of water.
This isn’t a guessing game. If you want me to taste amazing, get this right.
2. Freshness is Key
Don’t brew stale coffee. If you grind me too early, I lose all my flavour. Grind me just before brewing. Trust me, it makes all the difference.
3. Use Clean Water
Not all water is the same. Tap water can have minerals that ruin me. Use filtered or spring water. I deserve it.
4. Pick the Right Method
There are plenty of ways to brew me, but some are better than others. Here’s the rundown:
- Pour-Over: Full control, rich flavour.
- French Press: Bold and smooth.
- Espresso: Quick, strong, intense.
- AeroPress: Fast, clean, flavourful.
- Cold Brew: Smooth, sweet, low-acid.
5. Don’t Overbrew
Let me steep too long, and I’ll go bitter. Not long enough, and I’m too weak. Stick to these times:
- Pour-Over: 3-4 minutes
- French Press: 4 minutes
- Espresso: 25-30 seconds
- AeroPress: 2-3 minutes
- Cold Brew: 12-24 hours
6. Drink Me Fresh
I’m best when I’m hot and fresh. Don’t let me sit around. Drink me while I’m still at my peak.
That’s it. Treat me right, and I’ll bring you nothing but the best.
Now go brew the perfect cup. Get your beans here
Stay caffeinated,
