Brewing coffee is both an art and a skill that can be mastered with a little practice and patience. A great cup of coffee can be made everytime, once you learn the basics. By following the steps described below, you should be able to have a perfect cup of coffee everytime.
Getting the right coffee: Be sure to purchase the freshest, highest-quality beans possible. Taste differentvarieties. Learn about the characteristics of each one. Try coffees with lighter and darker roasts. Our large variety of gourmet Ootopia coffee gives you a wide selection that will suit all of your taste needs.
Storage of the beans: Storage of your beans is very critical. Light, heat, and air are all factors that can lead to the deterioration of the freshness and quality of your coffee. Store your beans in airtight containers. Store in a cool, dark area. Refrigerating or freezing the beans will prolong flavor life.
Equipment: Use clean, quality brewing equipment and accessories.
Clean Water: Use the purest source of water. If your water has chemicals, chlorine, or other impurities, try using bottled water. Fresh, clean water is essential for a great cup.
Water Temperature: The temperature of the water has a lot to do with the flavors that are brought out in your cup. The ideal water temperature is between 190 and 205 degrees.
The Right Grind: Use the right grind for the right brewing method. You can easily destroy the taste with a wrong grind. Too course and the taste will be weak and sour. Too fine, and the taste will be bitter. Grind the beans right before use.
Proportions: Getting the right proportion of coffee to water is more of a personal palate decision. More grounds will make it stronger; fewer grounds will make it weaker. We suggest you start with 2 Tbs. for every 8 ounces of water
Freshness: Use the freshest beans, the freshest water, and grind your beans just before brewing. Then serve fresh.
Cupping: "Cupping" is what it is all about. If you have a perfect cup of coffee, then consider yourself a success.
