If you want to ensure that you always make the perfect cup of coffee there are a number of things you will need to get right. The type of coffee and roasting style are a couple of important factors but one factor many people don't even consider is knowing the correct temp to brew coffee. When brewing your coffee you should always ensure that the temperature is between 195 F and 205 F. This is vital, as the correct temperature is needed in order to extract the best flavors from ground coffee. If you are not using a coffee maker it can be hard to judge the correct temperature. The easy way to do this is to bring your water just to the boil and then allow it to stand for a minute before brewing. If you are using an electric drip coffeemaker you should make sure the model you choose has at least 1200 watts and at the correct temperature it should take approximately six minutes to make a ten cup pot. An important point to remember is never to boil coffee, this ruins the flavor. Knowing the correct temp to brew coffee can make the difference between and good and a great cup of coffee. Coffee that is brewed at 160 degrees F does not unlock the full flavor of the coffee so make sure that you check your equipment. The only contradiction to this coffee rule is espresso. There is no real correct temperature at which espresso should be brewed and different blends and beans will require different temperatures to ensure their best taste. If your shot of espresso is too sour you should brew it at a higher temperature. If your espresso is too bitter try a lower temperature. Perfecting the right tasting cup of espresso will take a little practice because the temperature at which coffee is brewed is such an important factor. | |
