So when brewing coffee, in order not to reduce the taste of coffee, the coffee cup should be heated in boiling water in advance. The temperature of coffee is 83 degrees Celsius at the moment of brewing, 80 degrees Celsius when it is poured into the cup, and the ideal temperature is 61-62 degrees Celsius when it comes to the mouth. Therefore, the best brewing water temperature should be careful not to boil water, otherwise it will destroy the fragrant taste of coffee. 80-90 degrees Celsius hot water is the best temperature, the best drinking temperature is about 75 degrees Celsius.
