There are five basic brewing methods for coffee. Each method has brewing variables; adding water, brewing temperature, and separating the brewed liquor from the coffee grounds. These five methods are called Turkish coffee, concentrated brew brewing, filter coffee, drip brewing and French Press brewing.
Turkish coffee
Turkish coffee, or the traditional name for coffee, is made with water in small pots directly over the fire and finely ground coffee is boiled. It is often brewed with pre-added sugar. In some traditions, they ensure an even distribution of the grounds by pouring a little into each glass, then boiling a second time and pouring the rest into each glass. In some regions, coffee is often served with cardamom spice added. The coffee is not filtered from the liquor, which leaves a thick, tangy and muddy brew. The mud settles at the bottom of the tiny demitasse cups in which the coffee is served. In many countries, after drinking your coffee, they read the coffee mud and tell you about your future.
Concentrated Brew Coffee
Brew coffee production is very popular in Latin America and other parts of the world. It’s starting to make a comeback in the US. Concentrate brewing requires large amounts of coffee brewed with a small amount of water to brew concentrate. You mix some of the concentrate with hot water to make a cup of coffee. The concentrate is brewed hot or cold. When cold brewed, you should let the coffee sit for at least a day. This method creates a coffee that is light, light-bodied, slightly aromatic, slightly acidic, and has a mellow taste.
Filter coffee
This procedure involves continuously brewing coffee grounds using boiling water, which is then turned into an infusion of coffee liquor boiling over the grounds. This method is practical but an insult to the coffee bean. Brewing it with boiling water is bad enough, and then boiling the liquor produces a thin, bitter, tarry coffee. Although this frankly produces a bad cup of coffee, many people still prefer filter coffee. If that’s your thing, then more filter coffee power to you!
Automatic Drip
This is the most popular way to brew coffee in the United States. It’s very simple to pour hot water over coffee in a filter and let the brewed water drip from the bottom. Drip brewing can produce a great cup of coffee when using the proper equipment. One of the biggest problems with automatic drip machines is that they do not brew at the correct temperature. Bunn is one of the few companies that calibrates its machines to the appropriate temperature. If you have a good automatic drip brewer, the next hurdle to overcome is the filter. Paper filters can leave an aftertaste in the coffee and also do not allow many coffee oils and organic compounds to pass through. The gold-plated reusable filter is a great option for drip brewing. It does not leave an aftertaste in the coffee and does not trap the essence of the coffee as much as paper filters.
French Press or Press Pot
French Press brewing gives you complete control. It is more labor intensive than automatic drip and the brewing variables can be better controlled. Coarsely ground coffee is placed in a glass jug. Hot water is then poured onto the floor. When the brewing process is completed, the upper part is placed and a piston consisting of a metal mesh plate is pressed down, pressing the grounds down. The coffee liqueur is ready to be poured. The mesh filter allows oils and fine coffee particles to pass through without any problems. Additionally, since coarser grinding is required, a longer brewing time is required. The general rule of thumb for the French press is four minutes. This direct contact of soils with water allows for a more complete, controllable and even extraction. Even with coarse grinding, coarse grinding will still produce some fine particles. A cup of French pressed coffee will be fuller, fuller and more flavorful. There will also be sediment at the bottom of the glass.
