A good cup of hand-made coffee can bring a pleasant mood all day! Do you often think the coffee you brew is not delicious enough, ​​? Don't rush to change the coffee beans and don't have to spend money to upgrade your coffee utensils. Try these three tips to make your daily coffee taste better.

01. Preheating

A simple "preheating" action can make your coffee taste better. Items that should be preheated include coffee brewing utensils and coffee cups. If you use an American coffee maker, pour in water without coffee powder and turn it on to let it boil empty. if you brew coffee by hand, please heat the filter cup, filter paper and coffee container with hot water first. Most importantly, don't forget to preheat your coffee mug. In Italy, coffee is only allowed to be served to customers using preheated coffee cups. Only preheated coffee cups can fully show the smell and taste of coffee.

02. Pay attention to water quality

More than 98% of the ingredients in a cup of coffee are water, and the quality of coffee has a great influence on the taste and flavor of coffee! If you can't change your coffee beans, but want to improve the quality of your coffee, change the water! According to our experience, the softness and turbidity of tap water in different cities are different, and even in different areas of the same city, the water quality is often different. If the tap water in your place tastes like chlorine, it will be difficult to brew a good cup of coffee.

You might as well try using different water filters to make coffee. In areas with poor water quality, I suggest abandoning tap water and using bottled water to make coffee. Different water filters and different brands of bottled water have different effects on brewing coffee. Try more, and gradually you will find the best water for brewing coffee, and you will be very surprised. Different water can make such a big difference in the flavor and taste of the brewed coffee.

03. Change cups

People who have attended wine tasting parties will be surprised that different shapes of wine glasses can have a great impact on the taste of the wine, in fact, coffee is exactly the same. The material, thickness and shape of the cup greatly affect the taste and smell of the coffee entrance. Next time, try pouring the brewed coffee into different cups and tasting it one by one. You will find that some cups make the coffee taste thinner or thicker, and some cups make the smell disappear or stand out.

If you like the rich and full taste, please do not choose glasses or light cups to drink coffee, especially paper cups, it is recommended to use thick ceramic material, and preheated before putting in the hand coffee. If you like to taste the aroma of shallow roasted coffee, please avoid the cup shape with excessive expansion. The cup with a slightly introverted mouth can gather the aroma and fully present the rich and lively flavor of shallow roasted coffee. If you have tried all the above three tricks and the coffee is still not good, it is time to change the coffee beans!
