After many beginners try to make their own coffee, they will wonder, what is the secret of making good coffee? In fact, it is not difficult to make coffee at all! As long as you master the following seven tips, you will start making coffee for the first time, and you will become an enviable coffee expert in the eyes of others!

[1] choose your favorite coffee brewing method

Don't care what other people say, as long as you use it easily, cook it easily, and drink happily, it's the best way to make coffee for you! Some people like to brew coffee in a convenient and fast American coffee pot, some prefer the romantic elegance of siphon coffee, while others prefer the simplicity and purity of French pressure, the Italian style of mocha pot, or the flavor of hand-brewed coffee. In any case, the brewing method that is suitable for others may not be the best for you, choose your own best and favorite coffee brewing method. It is the first condition to enjoy the pleasure of brewing coffee in DIY.

[2] only buy "freshly roasted" coffee beans with "marked date"

Coffee beans are fresh food, which is a concept that every coffee lover should have. "freshly roasted" is the basic condition of a good cup of coffee. Freshly roasted coffee beans retain the fullest coffee flavor and can easily make a cup of the most mellow coffee; the stale coffee bean flavor has long been lost, and can only boil a cup of boring black water that is not mellow enough or even tasteless! From now on, please avoid buying undated coffee beans.

[3] use "good water" to make coffee

In a cup of coffee, more than 98% of the ingredients are "water". There is no doubt about the importance of water. If you use bad (not fresh, dirty, smelly) water to brew coffee, even using the best beans is in vain, because bad water can destroy the best coffee. Even a simple "filter kettle" can filter out many bad substances for "tap water", making the brewed coffee more mellow. Making coffee is the same as making tea, be sure to use fresh and good water! If the tap water in your place is of poor quality, using clean barreled water is also an ideal method.

[4] put enough coffee

The use of coffee beans must be adequate, the use of too little coffee powder may lead to astringent or tasteless, but do not have to put too much at a time. According to the coffee brewing standard of SCAA (American Fine Coffee Association), the benchmark dosage is to brew "120 ml" coffee with "one flat spoonful" (about 8 grams) of coffee beans (powder). Please adjust your coffee use according to this proportion.

[5] appropriate water temperature

Generally speaking, the most suitable water for brewing coffee is between 88 and 94 degrees Celsius. Please avoid using boiling hot water to make coffee. After the water boils, let it sit for a while and then use it to make coffee, which is the most appropriate.

[6] keep coffee equipment clean at all times

After using the coffee utensils, please wash them immediately and keep them clean and dry in a ventilated place. If the coffee utensils are not properly cleaned and maintained, you may make a cup of coffee with an oily smell next time.

[7] make coffee and drink it as soon as possible
