Coffee Brewing - How To Brew The Perfect Cup Of Coffee

Just like tea or wine, coffee is a beverage whose subtle flavor is defined more by the finer aspects of preparation rather than the main ingredient itself. Brewing the perfect cup of coffee is an art that is based on four basic fundamentals. These fundamentals are Proportion, Grind, Water and Freshness.

Here is a brief look at the above-mentioned basics of brewing the perfect cup of coffee:

1.Proportion:

When it comes to brewing a great cup of coffee, the ratio between the water and the coffee is a very important factor in deciding the taste. Ideally, there should be exactly 6 ounces of water for every 2 tablespoons of coffee, not more not less. If you have more than 6 ounces of water per 2 tablespoons of coffee then the brew will be weak and if you have less water, the taste will become bitter. Vice-versa, less than the said amount of coffee will result in a weak brew and too much will make it too strong.

The Stimulating Magical Powers Of Coffee Actually Began As A Food

Coffee has not always been served as a beverage. African tribes crushed the ripe cherries from wild coffee trees, mixed with animal fat, and rolled them into round balls. These “coffee balls” were served at their war parties. The result of eating these coffee balls was:

1. fat combined with raw coffee’s high protein content provided the African tribes with nourishment

2. the considerable caffeine content of the mixture was of course a “stimulant” that stirred the warriors on to greats heights of warrior abilities

I guess one could sort of compare those African tribe coffee balls to the cans of spinach Popeye use to consume to become mighty and strong enough to battle with Pluto for the quest of Olive Oil’s love!
