Many people think good coffee needs a costly machine. It does not. Here are 5 simple steps that make a big difference.
-
1. Use fresh beans. Coffee loses its taste after a few weeks. Buy small bags and use them fast.
2. Grind just before you brew. Ground coffee goes stale quickly. A simple grinder at home gives you a fresher, richer cup.
3. Use clean water. Coffee is almost all water. If your water tastes bad, your coffee will taste bad too.
4. Measure your coffee. A good start is 1 gram of coffee for every 16 grams of water. A small kitchen scale helps a lot.
5. Watch the water heat. Water that is too hot makes coffee bitter. Let it rest for 30 seconds after boiling.
Try these steps for one week. You will taste the change.
