Introduction
According to Bharat Bhise, many people love to drink a hot cup of coffee in the morning to feel alert and truly wake up and get started with their day. Unfortunately, when this becomes a daily routine, your daily dose of coffee can lose its charm and become a mundane experience. Fortunately, the art of making coffee can reignite its appeal to your senses of taste, smell, and vision and enhance your coffee-drinking experience.
The Details
Here are a few ways to enhance your coffee-drinking experience:
- Use better quality coffee beans – This should not come as a surprise since using higher quality coffee beans will naturally improve the taste of your coffee. High-quality coffee beans don’t necessarily have to cost a lot of money.
Nowadays, you can easily order a pack of fresh, well-roasted coffee beans for an affordable price. Just ensure you look at the brand reputation, flavor rating, and customer reviews before choosing an option.
- Experiment with the different coffee grinds – It makes sense to ground your coffee beans yourself since it would allow you to taste the most flavorful coffee. Whether you want to use a manual grinder, or an automatic grinder is up to your preference. Manual grinders will give you the most control but require more effort.
However, it is important to match the size of the coffee grounds to your brewing technique. This is because the size of the grounds determines the speed at which water passes through the coffee and how much flavor is extracted as a result. Over-extracted coffee will taste bitter while under-extracted coffee will taste acidic, and it is important to find the correct balance.
- Try a different brewing technique – There are various methods of brewing coffee, and everybody has their favorite brewing method. So, if you normally use a drip brewer to make your coffee, consider trying a different brewing method such as the French press, pour-over style, and more. You can use Aeropress and Stovetop espresso makers such as a Moka pot as well.
Trying different coffee brewing methods can be fun and will allow you to reduce paper filter waste and counter space in certain cases.
- Explore creamers and sweeteners – You can try adding different types of creamers and sweeteners instead of sugar to improve the taste of the coffee. In fact, instead of using cream or milk, you can also add a small slab of butter too.
If you are feeling a little crafty, you can even try to make coffee shop drinks at home using foamed milk, a whisk, and a saucepan.
Conclusion
Bharat Bhise suggests you store your coffee beans in an airtight container and keep it in a cool, dry, and dark place. Avoid storing them in the freezer. It is recommended you consume freshly roasted beans within a month and consume ground coffee within two weeks to have the best experience. Also, it is a good practice to measure the coffee beans on a kitchen scale to get the perfect amount every time.
