Learn: Brewing Coffee

Regardless of which brewing method you use, these tips will help you achieve the best results every time.

Water quality and temperature.
Start with freshly drawn, filtered cold water and bring to a boil. The best temperature for brewing coffee is between 195 F and 205 F. This can be reached by letting your kettle rest 30 seconds after coming to a boil.

Measure Carefully.
Making coffee is like following a recipe: the correct proportion of ingredients (in this case, coffee and water) is vital. We suggest using two heaping tablespoons of whole beans for each six ounces of water.

Grind Just Before Brewing.
Many coffee lovers have a coffee grinder somewhere in their kitchen. And there is no time like the present to use it. Grinding before brewing ensures the freshest coffee by releasing the flavors and aromas inside the coffee beans so they can be savored in your cup.

Brew Only What You Plan to Drink.
Freshly-roasted, freshly-brewed coffee should never sit around, but should be enjoyed as soon as possible. If coffee sits on a burner or is reheated, it will have a scorched taste and will lack the aromatic complexity of freshly-brewed coffee.
