How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Coffee Every Time

There’s nothing quite like starting your day with a freshly brewed cup of coffee. But how do you ensure each cup is as good as the last? Here are a few tips that can help you brew a perfect cup, whether you’re using a French press, pour-over, or drip machine:

  • Choose Fresh, Quality Beans – Always start with fresh, high-quality coffee beans. The fresher the beans, the better the flavor.

  • Measure Your Coffee – Use the right amount of coffee grounds per cup. A general rule is two tablespoons of coffee per 6 ounces of water.

  • Water Temperature – Your water temperature should be between 195°F and 205°F for optimal extraction.

  • Brewing Time – Pay attention to how long you’re brewing your coffee. A French press takes about 4 minutes, while pour-over takes around 3 minutes.
