My day cannot begin without a good cup of coffee, or two. Served hot, and without anything added to it – no cream, or sugar.What exactly is a good cup of coffee? Do the beans have to come from countries like Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Sumatra, Guatemala, and the like? Does it have to be roasted to the body grades of Compaqnia Dell’ Arabica, Tassimo bite, or Baronet Flavor?
Since when a simple cup of coffee becomes so complicated to prepare, and sounds so foreign? And can you really tell the difference between a carefully measured out home brewed, and that of an Arabica's – or whatever else you may prefer as superior?
Mine takes one and a half table spoon of premium roast to a three-quarter cup of filtered water. I make about six to eight cups of coffee each morning, so that takes about eight cups of water. And I don’t let my coffee pot percolated for more than seven minutes from boiling. Then I'd let it sits for couple of minutes before pouring my first cup.
Depend on your choice of roast, and coffeemaker, your preparation may vary. However, two things are important to keep in mind: use only filtered water, and keep your ground coffee in airtight container.
After all, a good cup of coffee is what you make of it, and brewed to your taste.
