Try these 5 brewing methods to make your coffee better
Imagine making those fancy coffees at home that you often get from cafes. Give a break to the same old instant coffee you sip on daily and try something new. There are many techniques to brew coffee that you can copy at your home. If you are up to experimenting with your coffee, then here is a list for you.
French press
French press is one of the easiest and oldest methods of brewing coffee which extracts prime flavors effectively. This method requires no fancy equipment, all you need is a French press coffeemaker, coffee grounds, and hot water. Steep ground coffee in hot water. Then gently push the plunger down and serve immediately. This will defuse and preserve the coffee's essential oils and antioxidants better.
Cold brew
This technique is slightly different from the others as it does not involve heating the water. It is often considered the best summer drink as it also ranks low in bitterness. Cold brew takes a long time to be ready. To prepare a cold brew, soak coarsely ground coffee beans in room temperature water with a filter for at least overnight (12-20 hours).
AeroPress
A relatively new brewing technique, the AeroPress method can create a smooth and rich coffee. At the bottom of the brew chamber, a filter is placed. Coffee grounds are put in the brew chamber, where hot water is added. The coffee then gets immersed. A plunger is pushed down to create air pressure, which forces brewed coffee through a filter and into a cup.
Siphon
Siphon is one of the fanciest ways to brew coffee and creates one of the purest-tasting cuppas ever. To make this, in a siphon pot, add coffee to its upper vessel. The use of vapor pressure aids in the immersion of hot water in coffee. When the heat is turned off, the brewed coffee is forced down to the bottom vessel via a filter.
Moka pot
The Moka pot, a budget-friendly espresso maker, consists of three chambers. Water in the bottom chamber boils, creating pressure that forces water through the coffee-filled filter. As the coffee saturates, the boiling water rises to the top funnel. A sputtering sound signifies that all the water has passed through, indicating the coffee is prepared for serving. It's a compact alternative to bulky espresso machines.
