Types of Coffee Brewing Methods
Brewing coffee is much easier than you think. It really isn’t necessary to use perfectly exact measurements, ratios or scales. Take a look at the different types of brewing, and there you will find individual methods and brands to choose from.
Pour Over
Pour over coffee has returned time and time again through the ages as a classic. The generally lighter taste and mouthfeel, as well as the craft required make pour over brewing methods unique.
Immersion
Throw coffee and water together, maybe stir, and let the grounds soak. Filter the coffee out and you have yourself a simple, tasty cup. Immersion methods are an excellent gateway to more involved brewing.
Cold Brew
Cold brew eschews the typical fast, hot extraction of most coffee and instead uses cold water over a much longer period of time, whether through immersion or a constant drip. Cold brew is less acidic than its counterpart.
Espresso
Espresso is definitely the best known method of brewing coffee these days. Built on the principles of very hot water and high pressure passing through the coffee grounds, espresso is the basis of many of the most popular coffee drinks out there.
Bialetti Moka EXpress
The Moka Pot is very popular in Italy as a type of percolator coffee brewing method, passing steam-pressurized boiling water through coffee grounds to make the end product. This is one of few brewers that is actually used on a stovetop over open flame.
Fresh Coffee Beans
Without a doubt the most important detail, fresh coffee beans are essential for the most flavorful cup. If possible, grinding the beans just before brewing will take your coffee to the next level.
Filtered Water
The best quality water cannot be underestimated. Since the coffee we drink is really just water that filters through ground coffee, it is of utmost importance that you use the best water possible. Filtered water beats tap water any day.
