Making coffee at home is not as difficult as you might think. You just need to know a few secrets.
What equipment is needed to brew coffee at home
There are different methods of brewing coffee. For example, Chemex, V60, Aeropress.
In general, to make delicious coffee you will need a coffee grinder, a scale, a teapot with a thin spout and a special filter.
You can choose either ground coffee or beans.
You need to grind the beans in a coffee grinder yourself.
Store coffee in sealed, vacuum-sealed packaging in a dark, dry place.
If the packaging is not airtight, the aroma and taste of the coffee will be spoiled.
Ground coffee should have a pleasant, rich aroma.
When brewing filter coffee, it is best to choose medium roast coffee beans.
You can also use a home coffee machine or coffee pot.
The main thing is not the method, but the correct volume of ground coffee and water temperature.
