A comprehensive guide on coffee making

Even though there are multiple ways to make coffee; you can implement few tips and tricks using a coffee maker to ensure a good cup of coffee. French press or placing coffee dripper over a mug is also a replacement option if in case of unavailability of coffee maker.

Ingredients required

·             Hot water

·             One to two tablespoons of instant coffee

·             1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar

·             Dairy milk or sweeteners

·             Vanilla extract (optional)

First method:-

With the help of a Coffee maker

·             The overall quantity of water required is purely based on the total number of coffee servings you wish to make. In normal circumstances, only six ounces of water is enough for each serving of coffee. The water level can be gauged with the help of either a carafe or a measuring cup. Switch over to filtered or boiled water instead of using tap, distilled or softened water.

·             Slowly and gently open the filter compartment and make sure it does contain a mesh filter basket. Paper filters can also be used if in case of unavailability of mesh filter basket. They are very helpful in filtering out the coffee grounds.

·             Include 7 gm of ground coffee for each coffee serving. Those who wish to have a stronger coffee may add two tablespoons. In order to enhance the taste of coffee, you may grind up the entire coffee beans.

·             Now you may slide the filter and cover the lid. Switch on the coffee maker to begin the brewing process. The estimated time required is about five minutes. Pay close attention to the dripping sound from the coffee maker. The brewing process is complete once the dripping is over.

·             Switch off the coffee maker and the filter has to be removed. Later, dispose of the grounds. Make sure that you carefully open the lid since it might release hot steam.

·             Before serving the coffee, add few quantities of sugar, sweeteners or maple syrup. Non-dairy milk such as almond and soy are a good substitute for dairy milk.

Second Method: Without using a coffee maker

·             Pour few quantities of water into the pan. It is recommended to include additional water than the total amount of coffee to prevent wastage.

·             Now stir the coffee grounds well.

·             Adjust the gas burner to either medium or high to reach a boiling point. You are required to stir at regular intervals to prevent burning of coffee grounds at the bottom.

·             Allow the coffee to boil for a few minutes more

·             Later, switch off the gas burner and take out the pot from the stove. Let it remain still for duration of four minutes. The main purpose behind this step is to allow the grounds to settle at the bottom.

·             Lastly, you are required to pour the brewed coffee directly to the mug with the help of a ladle while keeping the grounds intact.
