When it comes to brewing coffee at home, so many things can go wrong! Whether it's the wrong size filter or a dirty coffee pot, a wonderful pot of coffee could be ruined by tiny mishaps. Here's how to avoid those mishaps!
First, begin with a clean coffee pot. Hand wash the pot, the filter cup, and the lid of the pot with warm running water and soap. If it's been a while, clean the inside of the machine, as well. Be sure you have the right filters for your machine; not all machines use the same filters.
Second, MEASURE YOUR WATER. Matching up the amount of water to the amount of ground coffee is important. This ensures that your coffee will have the taste that specific coffee is supposed to have. I prefer a bold and rich taste, so for every cup of water I use 1 1/2 tbsp of ground coffee. *Tip: Placing a pinch of iodized salt into the ground coffee is helpful in preventing grounds from appearing in your coffee after it has been brewed.*
Third, wait until the coffee is completely done brewing before pouring yourself a cup.
I hope these three tips are helpful! After brewing coffee at home for four years, I have learned all of these the hard way!
