Small changes in your routine can transform your daily coffee. Here are five essentials every home brewer should know.
1
Rinse the filter
Rinse your paper filter with hot water before brewing to remove paper dust and taste.
2
Use quality coffee
Freshly ground specialty coffee (roasted within 6 weeks) makes the biggest difference.
3
Weigh your coffee
Use a scale. The standard ratio is 60g of coffee per liter of water.
4
Distribute evenly
Spread the grounds evenly in the filter for consistent extraction.
5
Clean your equipment
Clean your brewer regularly with dedicated cleaning products to prevent stale oil buildup.
