Good To The Last Drop

Wish to brew the perfect mug of joe?

Here are 3 simple recommendations that will make a difference in every single cup you drink.

Tip 1

Clean Coffee Pot

A clean pot is important and can make an entire world of difference in the flavour of your coffee. Old oils from prior batches of coffee and soap remainder left on the pot makes coffee taste bad.

Sodium bicarbonate and water work well for cleaning coffee cups and pots. Be sure to wash extra good so no residue is left in the dust.

Tip 2

Clean Filtered Water

The water you use for your coffee will affect the taste more than anything. Coffee is 99% water so use clean filtered or bottled water free from chlorine and other minerals that may affect the taste of your coffee.

Using stainless-steel or gold mesh filters instead of paper filters will also make your coffee taste better. Paper filters release dyes, chlorine and bleach that may affect taste. If you insist strongly upon using paper filters buy the unbleached, brown paper filters.

Tip 3

Use Fresh Quality Coffee

Quality coffee is more expensive but will consistently produce better tasting coffee.

For the best results use quality, entire bean coffee and grind the coffee beans just before use. You might think it is an inconvenience compared with ground coffee, but once you taste the difference you can never go back.

If you need to use ground coffee, ensure you utilize a good, drip grind coffee.

Use 2 level tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water. This is changed for individual taste preference. Make sure to spread the grounds evenly in the coffee filter so full brewing is accomplished.

Drink your fresh coffee straight away for the best flavor. Coffee will break down quickly if left on a heat source. Coffee shouldn't ever be reheated or microwaved.

A clean, preheated air pot or stainless-steel Thermos will keep coffee hot for about an hour without injuring the flavour.

If you follow these 3 simple recommendations, each cup you brew will be perfect coffee.
