JAKARTA - Every October 1 is celebrated as International Coffee Day. This annual celebration is an important moment to appreciate the long journey of coffee from seeds to cups.

Coffee today seems to be an important part of people's lives and lifestyles around the world. However, there are still many people who don't know how to make coffee right and delicious like in cafes.

In fact, brewing coffee can be done easily as long as it's only with simple equipment. What are the tips?

Here are 10 tips for making coffee at home so that the taste feels more delicious like in a cafe, as reported by the Ready Set Eat page on Tuesday (1/10/2024).

It is very important to know the origin of the coffee beans that will be brewed. Starting from acidity, strength, and taste depending on the area where coffee grows.

"Usually coffee beans from Africa are dark and acidic. Coffee beans from South America are less acidic and more like moderate roasting," said Jazmin.

If you're not sure what type of coffee should start brewing, Guatemala is a good place to start. Guatemalan coffee has a balanced taste in taste.

When it comes to coffee, it doesn't matter to shop for whole seed coffee.

"If you want a cup of delicious coffee, you need delicious coffee beans," said Jazmin.

If you can't find a local coffee roaster in your area, you can make high-quality coffee at home by buying whole coffee beans and freezing your own coffee beans. Why is whole seed coffee? Compared to powdered coffee, whole seed coffee is fresher and flavored.

To brew better coffee at home, it is recommended to use scales. This method aims so that the taste of coffee can be adjusted to taste.

Having a scale will help you achieve the right strength and balance for you. Jazmin recommends measuring 90 grams of whole grain coffee to a small, cheap scale before it is milled and brewed.

Don't blow all the coffee beans at once. Keep coffee at home as fresh as possible by just blowing up the number of coffee beans you plan to use.

Once opened, coffee must be stored in a ceramic container to protect against sunlight.

In addition, it is very important not to freeze coffee. When freezing coffee, it is possible coffee will absorb moisture, which can affect the taste.

When brewing coffee, water is important. That's why it uses filtered water to make all the coffee and chicken drinks.

Not all methods of brewing are the same, so you have to choose something that best suits your lifestyle and taste.

To get soft and even coffee, coffee-making machines are the best choice. Meanwhile, the French Press is a great and easy way to get a deeper and more concentrated drink.

However, if you just want a cup of soft coffee, a good brewing method can be the right choice. Any method that is finally chosen, know you have to adjust the level of subtlety of coffee powder.

Basically, the milled coffee beans can leave residue in the form of oil that may be hoarse. If coffee drink-making tools or machines are rarely cleaned, it might taste less delicious.

That's why we need to clean coffee machines regularly. Jazmin explained that if you don't clean the coffee makers often, then the coffee will feel bad because all the oil is left in the teapot.

Currently, not a few baristas combine coffee drinks with spices to make the taste taste more delicious. We can mix chocolate slices into coffee, adding toppings and cinnamon or nutmeg powder into coffee drinks.

Latte and cap are two quite popular drinks. In this recipe, we need to warm the milk first so that the taste of coffee and milk mixes to be more delicious.

In addition, also pay attention to the appropriate dose or maybe it can be adjusted to each other's tastes. If you want a more creamy taste, of course the combination of milk can be poured more than watering.
