- Get fresh coffee beans – Using instant coffee in a coffee percolator is not the way to make the perfect cup of coffee and the most important ingredient is using fresh coffee beans that you can grind up by yourself. The wonderful thing about choosing fresh beans is that you can use them for up to a week after purchasing them and so you don’t have to buy 3 to 4 kg because keeping them in storage will cause them to lose their freshness.
- Store your beans properly – This means that they should be kept in an airtight container because you want to keep the oxygen out of the container as well as light. Whatever you do, they sure that you don’t store your roasted beans in the fridge because moisture will go in and so this is not conducive to making the best cup of coffee.
- Pick your grinding time – Trying to your coffee beans unless it is your intention to have a cup of coffee very soon after doing it. If you grind too early, then the beans lose their taste and if you grind too much then your coffee is likely to have a bitter taste. As was suggested before, making a cup of coffee is quite scientific and so you must follow all of the rules if you are to experience the ultimate cup of Joe.
- Be accurate – Much like when you are making a cake or making a loaf of bread, you have to get the ingredients just right and so not putting enough coffee in the water or putting in too much can affect the taste in a dramatic way. Follow the rules depending on what kind of cup of coffee that you would want because some people like a strong cup and others like a lighter one.
By following this advice and making sure that you use good quality water, it is entirely possible to create the perfect cup of coffee in your home.
