Let's explain a few things about each method , some of them are well known while some of them not so much!
1. The French press: one of the most known ways to brew coffee and one of the most common ones to have at your house!This method is the one that turn us automatically to a "home-barista".It is an efficient way to prepare your morning coffee without creating a mess .
Here is a tip while preparing it:
After choosing your preferred fresh coffee , grind it in the proper way, we suggest you to grind it medium-to- coarse. The most unique thing about this method is the rich taste of coffee that is produced and the procedure is not complicated at all!
2. We all know Chemex!
It has become so popular and you can find it almost everywhere , at least in pictures and videos on Instagram for sure on a daily basis. This is also an easy way to make your coffee at home ! For the Chemex method all you will need is a Chemex coffee maker, coffee filters and medium-to-coarse coffee.
However , we want to mention that the Chemex coffee maker is not so easy to clean and it is really fragile . We definitely suggest this method as it offers a great result ! The cup of coffee that you will taste will have one of the most characteristic and nicest flavors!
3.The Drip method is among the most known methods, especially in North America. You can drip coffee with an electric coffee machine or manually. The most important detail for this method is that if you have a good coffee machine then you can get a really cup of coffee , if not then the taste will not be but an average one. If you have your own manual drip device then you will enjoy for sure a unique cup of coffee. A successful result depends on using the right proportion of coffee and water. The result of this procedure is a light bodied coffee as some of the essences of the coffee are trapped in the filter (same as in the Chemex method) , you can avoid that by using a metallic filter .
4. The Syphon method is not the most familiar one to us. This method is hard to be used at home unless you are a barista or a coffee expert! I believe that it is one of the coolest coffee devices, although it takes time and special technique to use it. It is not a device easy to clean or store but it allows you to have better control over your coffee preparation and a great result !
5. Aeropress method is one of the most upcoming methods. The first aeropress world competition in Dublin is getting closer! It seems that it is one of the favorite brewing methods as it doesn't require any special skills and it is really easy to clean. What makes this method one of the most preferred ones is the fact that you can produce a filtered brew coffee or espresso. The pressure used gives us more caffeine and solids in our cup of coffee.
6. Last but not least Turkish method is one of the oldest methods of brewing coffee. During this method we use the finest grind of coffee , like a powder. This method offers a full body of coffee with the best flavor , a strong one for true coffee lovers! And it is the only method that offers you future-telling as Turkish and Greek believe!
Let us know which is your favorite method and share ti with us! Hope you enjoyed!
