Brewing coffee is the process in which you run water through ground coffee to extract flavours, aromas and caffeine. Depending on how you do this—with pressure, by extraction or through infusion—you get a different taste experience each time.
What is the best temperature to use when brewing coffee?
Between 88 and 96 °C. For lightly roasted coffee, use slightly hotter water (94–96 °C); for dark roasted coffee, use slightly cooler water (88–90 °C). Always allow boiling water to cool down for a moment.
What is the most sustainable way to brew coffee?
Manual methods such as the French press, moka pot, V60 and Chemex are the most sustainable. They use little or no electricity, last a long time and produce less waste – especially if you use reusable filters.
