Coffee: Good To The Last Drop

By Jackie Massey


Want to brew the perfect cup of coffee?

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 critical and can make a whole world of difference in the flavor of your coffee. Old oils from previous groups of coffee and soap remnant left on the pot makes coffee taste bad.

Bread soda and water work fine for cleaning cups and pots. Be certain to rinse additional good so no remnant is left behind.

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 which will affect the flavor 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 costs more but will constantly 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 big spoons of coffee per 6 oz. of water. This can be adjusted for individual taste preference. Be sure to spread the grounds uniformly in the coffee filter so full brewing is attained.

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.
