There's something magical about that first sip of perfectly brewed coffee in the morning. At Stacona Coffee, we believe that great coffee starts with understanding the fundamentals of brewing.
Choose Quality Beans
The foundation of any exceptional cup is high-quality, freshly roasted beans. Look for beans that have been roasted within the past two weeks for optimal flavor and aroma.
Water Temperature Matters
The ideal water temperature for brewing coffee is between 195°F and 205°F. Water that's too hot can over-extract and create bitterness, while water that's too cool won't extract enough flavor.
The Right Ratio
A good starting point is using 1 to 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for every 6 ounces of water. Adjust to your taste preferences – some prefer a stronger brew, while others enjoy a lighter cup.
Grind Fresh
Grinding your beans just before brewing makes a noticeable difference. The grind size should match your brewing method: coarse for French press, medium for drip coffee, and fine for espresso.
