Coffee is an essential drink for many of us. It gives us the energy we need to start the day, helps us concentrate at work and allows us to enjoy a moment of relaxation in the company of friends or family.
If you are one of those who enjoys a good, freshly brewed coffee at home, a drip coffee maker is an excellent option. It is easy to use, practical and allows you to prepare a large amount of coffee in a short time.
In this blog post, we will explain how to prepare coffee at home using a drip coffee maker.
Ingredients:
- ground coffee
- Filtered water
- Paper filter (if your coffee maker requires it)
Steps:
- Fill the water tank with the desired amount. Most drip coffee makers have a marking indicating the maximum amount of water that can be used.
- Place the paper filter in the filter holder. If your coffee maker does not use paper filters, be sure to clean the filter holder well before using it.
- Add the ground coffee to the portafilter. The amount of coffee you need will depend on the size of your coffee maker and the strength of the coffee you want to prepare. A good rule of thumb is to use 2 tablespoons of ground coffee for every cup of water.
- Turn on the coffee maker. The water will begin to heat and pass through the ground coffee, extracting the flavor and aroma.
- Wait until the coffee is ready. Preparation time will depend on the size of the coffee maker and the amount of coffee you are preparing.
- Enjoy your freshly brewed coffee!
Tips:
- Use good quality ground coffee for a better flavor, like Jaguar Coffee ;).
- Use filtered water to prevent the coffee flavor from being affected by chlorine or other impurities in the water.
- Clean the coffee maker after each use to prevent coffee residue from building up.
At Jaguar Coffee we recommend a coarse grind for this type of coffee makers.
With these simple steps, you can prepare delicious coffee at home using a drip coffee maker.
