5 Coffee Brewing Methods to Try at Home

Introduction

There are few things better than a good cup of coffee. You've probably tried all the most popular brewing methods at home and in coffee shops, but there are many more you might not know about! Here's a quick rundown of the five most interesting and versatile brewing methods:

French Press

The French press is a simple, one-step method of brewing coffee. This method relies on the force of gravity to separate the grounds from your brew. To use it, you'll need:

• A French press (obviously)
• Coffee beans or ground coffee that's been freshly roasted and ground

To make your cup of joe:

• Fill up the water reservoir with filtered water until it reaches about 1 inch below where your mug will sit on top of the plunger mechanism; then add 2 tablespoons worth of freshly ground coffee per 6 ounces of water used in your brew (or whatever ratio works best for you). You can always adjust these measurements later if you find that they aren't working out as well as expected!

2a - If using whole beans: Grind them up into small pieces using an electric grinder before adding them into the press pot along with some hot water from your kettle or stovetop kettle so that everything gets mixed together evenly without clumping too much yet still retaining some texture from those lovely chunky bits at bottom where most flavor resides within this particular blend--this step also helps ensure even distribution throughout every sip so there isn't any bitterness left over after pouring out all liquid contents onto serving plate/cup holder etcetera..

Turkish Style

Turkish coffee is a very fine grind of coffee, which is brewed in a pot called a cezve. The grounds are placed in the bottom of the pot and hot water is added. The mixture is then stirred with a long-handled spoon or stick called an ibrik and poured into small cups (also known as finjans). Sugar cubes are added to taste before drinking Turkish style coffee, which should be consumed immediately so that it doesn't get cold or bitter.

Pour Over

The pour over method is a manual coffee brewing technique that involves pouring hot water over ground coffee to extract the flavor. It's simple and easy to use, and you can use it to make a single cup or multiple cups at once.

The pour over method works best with medium-to-coarsely ground beans and low pressure filters like paper filters or metal mesh baskets (no plastic!). If you're making cold brew coffee using this method, you'll need coarsely ground beans and a glass pitcher instead of a filter system because those will be able to contain all of your coffee grounds without leaking through into your drink.

Chemex

To brew a Chemex, you'll need a filter, the right grind size and pour speed, the right amount of water and temperature for brewing.

• Use a filter: The Chemex comes with its own paper filters that are made from cellulose fibers derived from wood pulp or cotton linters (a fine fluff found between the seeds). These filters produce clear coffee without any sediment in your cup. If you don't have these handy at home, try using one of these reusable metal filters instead--they're great because they allow some oils to pass through while filtering out larger particles like grounds or peels from your fruit brews!

2nd step: Grinding Your Beans Properly

3rd step: Pouring Slowly

AeroPress

The AeroPress is a coffee brewing device that uses air pressure to extract flavor from your beans. It's a great option for those who want to make coffee at home but don't have a lot of space or money to invest in equipment. The resulting brew will be stronger than what you'd get from an automatic drip machine, but not as strong as if you were using an espresso machine--and it'll still taste great!

To use the AeroPress:

• Grind your beans to medium-fine consistency (like table salt). You can also pre-grind them before brewing if you want to speed up the process later on; just remember not to store them for too long after grinding or else they'll lose their flavor and aroma over time!
• Put between 18-22 grams (0.65 - 0.80 oz) of ground coffee into each chamber of your device depending on how strong or weak you prefer your brews; then add hot water until no more room remains inside each chamber (about 4 oz). If using preground beans instead of whole ones like me here today then simply measure out about 8 oz worth instead because these will come out stronger than freshly ground ones due to increased surface area exposed during roasting processes which means more caffeine content overall--which makes sense since caffeine acts as one kind among many other active ingredients responsible for giving us energy boosts throughout day when consumed regularly enough over long periods time frame."

Takeaway:

• The right coffee.
• The right water.
• The right grind.
• The right brewing time and temperature
