How to recharge with energy in the morning, which will be enough for the whole day? Of course, coffee will help with this. In order to drink delicious and invigorating coffee, you do not need to contact a barista every time, because you can make coffee at home on your own in a Turk, a coffee maker or a French press. The most important thing in this business is to know all the details and nuances, and then you can enjoy a delicious drink.
The first thing to consider when preparing coffee is how to grind it. Finely ground coffee, but not "dust", is suitable for espresso machines, as the coffee is prepared in this machine for about 20 seconds. If the grind is not correct, the coffee will not work either. The coarser grind is suitable for a French press. The fact is that coffee is prepared in this machine within 4 minutes. A fine grind is also necessary for a Turk, since coffee is prepared in it quickly.
The second nuance is related to the water used to make coffee. The best option is filtered water. It retains its useful properties, being additionally enriched during filtration. You can also use spring water - it will give the coffee a richer taste.
The third point is the ratio of coffee and water. The following rules should be remembered: coffee in a French press should be taken in a ratio of 1 to 18 water. Many coffee shops offer to purchase these machines, which come with measuring spoons so that there are no mistakes. In addition, any barista can advise on how to use the machine, how to brew coffee correctly. If you make coffee in a Turk, then you need to take 1 teaspoon of coffee, preferably the finest grind, for 1 cup. If you use an espresso machine, then you need to take up to 10 grams of coffee for 1 cup.
Another feature is the water temperature. Each coffee brewing method requires a different water temperature. For example, when making coffee in a Turk, the water is brought to a boil several times, that is, the water temperature reaches 100 degrees. For coffee machines, the ideal water temperature is 90-95 degrees. In the first case, the coffee is brought to the boiling point to form a froth, which will prevent the coffee aroma from escaping. And in the second case, water, not brought to a boiling state, reveals the whole bouquet of aroma and taste of coffee.
The freshness of the beans is a must when making coffee. If you grind the beans yourself, use the powder within 1-2 days, then the coffee loses its aroma. The grains themselves must be stored in a container with a lid, in a dark place. If you use coffee from a pack, use coffee within a week, after this period the coffee will not turn out rich.
And the last thing to consider is the dish or apparatus in which you prepare coffee. It is believed that the Turkish is the best item for coffee, in fact, this is not entirely true. Turk is the most common and most affordable way to make coffee. Coffee is much tastier in a French press, as the taste is more correct.
Prepare coffee the way you like best, because coffee is individual for everyone, coffee is a whole art.
