How do you drink your coffee?

Coffee is part of our day-to-day routine like almost no other food. It is taken for granted, served in thermos jugs and, if necessary, heated in the microwave… Did you know that coffee is not black but rather reddish brown?

Punch line: Many people don’t know. And that’s actually a shame, because so many of the nuances and flavors of coffee may be lost in the process of making it. Coffee is prepared too hot, too fast and in too high quantities. There are many things that should not be done with coffee, but today we would rather compile what can be done quite simply (even at home) correctly.

It is very worthwhile to buy coffee in whole beans and then grind it fresh. The taste experience makes a giant leap if you use a grinder that grinds the beans evenly and does not heat them. If you have patience, you can already purchase great hand grinders for home for relatively little money. You can find a good overview at coffee makers here.

Just like ground coffee, prepared coffee loses its aroma and quality. Especially if you pour it into metal thermos jugs, this has a negative effect on the taste. At best, brew only as much as you drink.

A good interaction

Depending on how well-developed your taste buds are, different instruments are suitable. For all of them, it depends on the interaction of the grind, the water temperature, quality and the amount of coffee. For filter coffee lovers are hand filters, the cheapest and easiest solution, as here a very reliable result can be achieved. On the blog of the coffee makers you will also find very well prepared information on this subject.

 

Finally, enjoy the coffee. Because good coffee simply tastes good!
