Elements of Brewing for the Ideal Coffee Drinking Experience
Water
Water makes up more than 98% of the cup, so fresh, good-tasting water is essential.
Time
The length of time water is in contact with the coffee grind influences final flavor.
Turbulence
Water should spray into the funnel so it creates an even flow around and through all of the coffee grind in the basket.
Filtration
Paper filters produce the clearest cup of coffee.
Temperature
Water temperature affects flavor and extraction. The ideal range is 195°F-205°F or 92°C- 96°C.
Cleanliness
Everything related to brewing and serving should be clean and free from lime and hard water deposits.
