Five secrets of brewing better coffee

Regardless what coffee you choose, it is important to know the secrets of brewing a better cup of coffee. Here are 5 pieces of advice how to do that:

1. Choose good coffee – It is really easy to get confused with a variety of coffee choices on the market. The brands are numerous so there is not need to stick to a single one. But look for 100% pure Arabica coffee. First, it is lower in caffeine than Robusta and second, it is more pleasant in flavors.
2. Buy coffee beans fresh –  No doubt, coffee tastes great if it is made of freshly roasted and ground beans. Never buy coffee beans from supermarket display bins. The rule number one for storing coffee beans is airtight and dark place otherwise they will suffer in flavor quality. Buy coffee beans from a reliable local roaster.
3. Grind your beans – Once the coffee is ground, it starts losing quality. The best and most aroma cups of coffee drinks are made of coffee that has been ground right before brewing. Coffee accessories for grinding are numerous from manual mills to electric grinders. Keep in mind, finer grinds stand for more aroma coffee.
4. Use good water – If you follow the above-mentioned rules but use tap water, you can ruin your pot of coffee completely. Serious coffee snobs use either filtered or spring water. You won't need much water so it makes sense buying bottled water or charcoal filter on your tap for the sake of a perfect cup of aroma beverage.
5. Invest in a good brewer – in the article below we mentioned some coffee acessories that make excellent coffee (according to the reviews). Manual brewers allow to take a greater control over the water temperature and amount of water used. At the same time, a coffee machine does the work as great if it replicates a manual brew.

So are you ready for your perfect cup of coffee? These coffee accessories may help you in brewing it.
