The Pour-Over brewing method is celebrated for its precision—it can accentuate the various shades of your coffee beans’s flavours. This brewing technique is all about establishing the balance between water and coffee. Pour-Over will let you get creative with various factors like pouring technique, grind size, and water temperature.
It is one of the simplest, fastest, oldest and cheapest brew methods that use a paper filter and coffee cone. Evenly pour hot water over the coffee grounds (placed in a paper filter), and allow the brewed coffee to slowly drip into a pot or cup.
The French Press method originated in 1929—and is widely regarded as the easiest and best brewing method for superior coffee. It extracts the superior flavours of the beans better than any other brewing technique.
Ground coffee beans are soaked in a press pot, and hot water is poured from the top. The coffee is steeped and strained. This method allows the coffee’s caffeine, flavourful essential oils, and antioxidants to be better diffused, and it helps secure the purest taste of the coffee. The French press brewing method is best for coffee lovers who enjoy a luscious, robust, and complex flavour experience.
This brewing method requires a classic stovetop coffee brewer (Moka Pot), and it provides one of the simplest yet effective techniques to brew coffee at home. The Moka Pot is a brewing machine that heats water stored in its lower vessel, generating pressure that allows the hot water to pass through the ground coffee placed in the machine’s upper chamber.
This process yields an aromatic and rich coffee, and its intensity matches espresso, except the latter requires a complex machine. The Moka pot method is for those who prefer a concentrated, authentic Italian brew.
Allow us to introduce you to this flashy and fancy coffee maker. If you want to impress your family and friends with a unique brewing technique, look no further than the syphon method. But the process is fussy. The brewing vessel was invented during the 1840s, in Germany. On the upper vessel, add ground coffee beans and warm water in the lower chamber. Allow the vapour to create pressure, forcing the hot water to soak the coffee.
This classic coffee brewing technique is known for producing exceptional coffee. Pour hot water over the ground coffee beans, allowing the concoction to slowly seep through the paper filter. This paper filter is crucial to the unique quality of Chemex. It eliminates sediments and excess oils, delivering a crisp and smooth cup of coffee.
This versatile brewing process is widely praised for its portability and convenience. The AeroPress method is perfect for coffee drinkers who prefer lightweight and portable coffee for outdoor adventures or travel.
The AeroPress is a brewing machine, it is made of plastic and comprises three parts. A filter is fitted at the bottom, in a coffee basket and under the brew chamber. Coffee grounds are placed in the brew chamber and hot water is poured to steep the coffee. A plunger is used to extract the coffee, and the brewed coffee spills through a filter and into the pot or cup.
