JAKARTA - Making a cup of coffee at home, in the office, or anywhere else can be a very satisfying experience, especially if you know some tricks to get an ideal taste.

Small details such as brewing techniques can greatly affect the quality of the coffee produced. According to Arie Nugroho, a Barista coach at PT Langgeng Makmur Kencana (LMK), there are currently many coffee brewing methods.

One of them is brewed coffee which looks simple, but there is one important step that is often neglected, which is to wait about 4 minutes after brewing before enjoying it.

Arie explained, waiting four minutes after the brew can help develop the taste and aroma of coffee optimally. When the coffee is still hot, the bitter taste can appear excessively, which can disrupt the overall balance.

By giving time, coffee particles can settle, allowing for a finer and more complex feel to appear. In addition, the coffee temperature also decreases slightly, so you can enjoy warmth without the risk of burning the tongue.

"Letting coffee cool a little gives you time for a better extraction process. So, waiting about 4 minutes before drinking brewed coffee not only improves your experience, but also allows you to feel every feel of taste offered," said Arie, who also works for Accor Group, as quoted by Antara.
