There are many ways to brew coffee, including manual and automatic methods. The best method depends on personal preference, but some popular methods include:
- Pour-over: A manual method that produces a smooth, delicate coffee. It's good for those who like a short brewing ritual.
- French press: An immersion method that produces a full-bodied coffee with a denser texture. It's good for those who like their coffee with breakfast.
- Espresso: A pressurized infusion method that uses pressure to brew coffee quickly.
- AeroPress: A versatile method that combines immersion and filtration to produce a delicate, silky mouthfeel.
- Siphon: A vacuum filtration method that produces a mellow, smooth, delicate taste.
- Percolator: A method that uses steam pressure from boiled water to pass through coffee grounds.
Other methods include: Steeping, Decalkation, Chemex, Kalita Wave, and Clever Dripper.
The four fundamentals of brewing coffee are the coffee-to-water ratio, grind size, water quality, and brewing time.
