coffee taste
better

use
clean and fresh water whenever you brew coffee so that it tastes good

taste

.

When
brewing
coffee,
use high-quality
water
to get a high-quality result
.
Keep in mind that every substance that goes into the brew will come out in the final taste. For this reason, using quality water can make
a
big difference
.
+
Be sure that your water for brewing reaches somewhere between 195 and 205 degrees
.
The majority of consumer coffee machines fail to reach that temperature range
. When
you brew your
coffee,
consider heating the
water
on your own
.
A simple French press is always
a
good idea
.
-
Pinches of salt
can help
your coffee
out
if it tastes too acidic
.
Be careful not to go overboard on it though. Just
a
tiny amount will do
the
trick. Sea salt
is
a good alternative if
you
are worried about
the
health risks
of
sodium
.
+
Purchase fair trade coffee, and you
can help out
third-world countries
.
You may pay
a
little more, but
the
flavor
is
worth it. It also means that
you
will be assisting farms and villages in countries where they need your help
the
most, with just a small amount
of
help on your part
.
-
Do you sweeten your
coffee
with artificial sweeteners? These products
can
alter
the flavor of
your
coffee
and make it taste blend. Use raw sugar sparingly to get a more satisfying flavor, or just drink the brew plain. If you do use sweetener, limit it to only a half a packet
.
+
While keeping
coffee
in the freezer
can
extend its shelf life, you shouldn't store it for longer than three months. Beyond that point,
the
quality and
flavor of
the
coffee
will slowly deteriorate
.
-
To get the best flavor from old or economy model
coffee
machines, brew
a
pot of hot water prior
to
brewing
coffee.
Use
that
hot water
to
make
your
coffee. This produces the hottest and most flavorful coffee possible
.
+
Never put
coffee
in
a
container by the stove. Heat is disastrous
to coffee.
So make sure you don't keep your coffee in any cabinets or counter-space
that
's too close
to your
stove
.
-
Purchase
a
coffee maker that can multitask. There are many things that this little appliance can do in addition
to
making
your
coffee
.
Choose one
that
starts brewing
your
coffee so that's it's ready when you wake
.
That can be very helpful. Enjoying coffee is easier
when you
don't
make
it when you are exhausted
.
+
Do you want to have friends over for coffee? If so, explore the possibilities of adding
a
personal touch
to your
drinks
.
You can create different patterns
that
will leave
your
friends intrigued
.
Mix milk with melted chocolate, then practice
when you make
coffee
.
-
Make sure you store your coffee beans in a container that is air tight. This container shouldn't be see-through; it needs to be dark. Keep the container stored in a dry and cool place. A root cellar can be the prefect place. You can also use your fridge for a two week period.

shops

It is important to pay attention to how much water you need for your specific coffee maker.
The coffee
might be too strong if not enough water
is
used. However
,
diluted coffee can be just as disappointing. Who wants watery, weak coffee? Generally, a good rule of thumb is
to
put two cups of water in for each cup of
coffee
you
are
making
.
