My Steps for a Perfect Pot of Coffee Every Time

Start with fresh, filtered water—trust me, it makes a difference. Avoid distilled or softened water since you want those minerals for flavor. Pick your favorite beans, but try to use them within a month of the roast date. I always go for Arabica for a smoother cup, but Robusta packs more caffeine if that’s your thing. Grind your beans right before brewing. For drip machines, a medium grind works best. Too fine or too coarse and you’ll notice the difference. Use about 2 tablespoons of grounds for every 6 ounces of water. Adjust to taste after your first try. Clean your equipment after every use. Old coffee oils and grounds can ruin the next batch. A quick soap and water rinse is all it takes. That’s it—enjoy your coffee while it’s hot! #CoffeeTips #HomeBrew #CoffeeLovers #Food #Cooking
