What do you need to know to brew the best coffee?
A coffee bean begins to develop its character from the moment the fruits form on the coffee tree, through the maturation, processing, and roasting stages. From then on, everything is in your hands. The final taste and aroma of the coffee you brew will depend on the type of beans you choose, how you grind them, the dose you use, and the brewing method and temperature. It’s also crucial to use high-quality water and ensure the cleanliness and proper functioning of the equipment you use. There are many factors that influence the taste of a cup of coffee, which can be overwhelming, especially at the beginning. However, nothing is impossible—brewing coffee is not black magic. With a bit of patience and a good teacher, your skills will improve to the level of a professional barista!
