JAKARTA - Making a cup of coffee yourself at home, at work, or anywhere else, can be a satisfying experience, especially when you know some secrets to get a perfect taste.

In the process, simple small details such as the brewing technique, can make a big difference in the quality of the coffee drinks produced, as said Barista coach PT Langgeng Makmur Kencana (LMK) Arie Nugroho.

"Now there are many kinds of coffee brewing methods, one of which is when making a simple brewed coffee, but there is one secret to making your own coffee that is often missed, namely waiting for coffee to be brewed about 4 minutes before being enjoyed," he said as quoted by ANTARA.

The barista coach, who has been in the coffee world for more than 20 years, said that the new brewed coffee should be delayed about four minutes before being drunk, because this process allows the taste and aroma of coffee to develop optimally.

When coffee is brewed, high temperatures can cause excessive bitter taste and disrupt the balance of taste.

By waiting for a moment, coffee particles can settle, giving time for a smoother and more complex taste to appear.

In addition, coffee temperature has also decreased slightly, so coffee lovers can enjoy warmth without the risk of burning their tongue.

Thus, waiting a few minutes before sipping brewed coffee not only improves the drinking experience, but also allows you to feel every flavor offered.

"The coffee needs time to be extracted or the cooking process, so usually if you drink coffee, it's better to wait about 4 minutes so that the hot water has actually extracted the coffee, this makes it more intense and the aroma of coffee arises," said Arie, who also works for Accor Group.
