Tips for a perfect cup of coffee


For a really delicious cup of coffee, follow these tips:


  • Always ensure your coffee maker is clean.

  • Use fresh filtered water to brew the coffee.

  • Rinse the coffee pot well before you start

  • Use the correct size filter paper.

  • Use fresh coffee, possibly a one-cup portion. After opening a packet, keep the coffee in a tightly-sealed container.

  • Buy the correct coffee grind for your machine.

  • Use the same amount of coffee each time, in order to gain as consistent a flavour as possible.

  • Make sure the coffee is evenly distributed within the filter bag.

  • The best coffee is brewed at around 96° C.The ideal temperature to serve it is around 85° C.

  • Coffee is at its most delicious flavor directly after being brewed.

  • For a uniform flavor, the coffee in the pot should be stirred before pouring.

  • Do not leave coffee standing on the burner for too long, or the fine aromas will be lost. If you wish to keep the coffee for longer, use a thermal server.

  • Remember to de-scale the coffee machine every so often. How often this will be necessary will depend on the hardness of the water in your area.

  • Use clean serving decanters.
