How can I get the best home brewed coffee?

Question by : How can I get the best home brewed coffee?
I drink a lot of coffee but want better quality coffee. I work the night shift and survive off it. Any and all advice pertaining to home brewed coffee is welcome.

Best answer:

Answer by CCRN
First of all buy some coffee! What I mean is something that is made in smaller batches and preferably from somewhere close to you that roasts their own beans. Next, if you use it relatively quickly grind it at the store from whole beans or, if you don’t use it quickly bring home whole beans and grind yourself. Finally find a brewing method you like the most. For a very strong cup get a French press but keep in mind that it will be messy. Otherwise get a drip coffee maker that lets you adjust the brewing strength and play with it until you get it to where you like it.

Ideal Coffee Temperature

Coffee never fails to give you a different kind of kick in the morning or a very effective pick-me-upper during crucial times. But a lot of coffee drinkers are after its taste and flavor, so you should not take for granted the proper way to prepare your cup, including the temperature to serve it at. How does the temperature have influence on the flavor profile, you may ask.

Just so you know, coffee is best served at temperatures of 70°C to 80°C or 155°F to 175°F. A lot of people opt for the higher temperatures. It’s actually way higher than the ideal temperature of coffee. Many coffee shops even suggest to their patrons to have their coffee at 180°F to 190°F. A lot of customers are complaining because of their coffee being too hot.

Simply put, one of the main reasons why you need to change your game plan in terms of coffee drinking is that your coffee is served at too high temperature. That said, the coffee oils evaporate quickly so the coffee tends to lose its flavor quality as well. These essential oils, by the way, give your coffee the flavor and aroma most people are rooting for. It’s basically suggested to have your cup of coffee at 175°F in order for you to get the best out of your coffee.

If your coffee beans have excellent quality, don’t waste it by serving it in a non-ideal temperature. The temperature of the coffee actually has a huge impact of the coffee you drink. People who don’t reside in America believe that American coffee temperature range is tad too low for their taste as they typically want their coffee way hotter.

However, your coffee should not be too cold either. By making sure your coffee is at the right temperature, the quality of the coffee beans used is not altered.

My best friend is pregnant, and she refuses to stop drinking caffeinated coffee?

Question by Lace: My best friend is pregnant, and she refuses to stop drinking caffeinated coffee?
My best friend is about five months along, and she is absolutely refusing to stop drinking coffee! She won’t switch to decaf because she “hates the taste and doesn’t get the same rush from caffeine in regular coffee.” She seriously drinks it with every meal, and the other day at lunch she drank espresso! Her husband has tried stopping her by getting rid of all the coffee in the house, but she just goes out and gets it. And obviously he can’t go with her everywhere she goes. She said she doesn’t care because coffee is her favorite thing and without it she feels lost. She just doesn’t care what it might do to the baby. She loves coffee too much. What should I do?! I’m seriously scared. She won’t even listen to doctors!
Also, could someone please tell me what harm this could do to her unborn baby if it continues?

Answer by tulip+baby

Well, researchers said that caffeine showed a link to a higher risk of miscarriage but, not all studies showed the same thing. Below are some excerpts from experts though, mind you I am pregnant and I still drink some caffeine and while I was pregnant with #2 I drank soda. Although, I limited it to once a day or every other day.. no more than 150 mg per day i.e. “Coke 12 oz. = 35 mg caffeine or (20 oz. = 58mg caffeine)” so that means I can drink at least 2 if I’d like.

Check this site for the amount of caffeine your friend is drinking.

http://www.cspinet.org/new/cafchart.htm

“There’s general agreement that pregnant women and those trying to conceive should avoid consuming large quantities of caffeine. But after decades of controversy and conflicting evidence, there’s still no real consensus on how much caffeine is safe during pregnancy.”

“The March of Dimes advises women to limit their caffeine intake to less than 200 mg per day. This recommendation was prompted by the results of a study published in the March 2008 issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, showing that moms-to-be who consumed 200 mg or more of caffeine a day had double the risk of miscarriage compared to those who had no caffeine.”

Are there other possible risks besides miscarriage?

“Yes. Because caffeine can cause blood vessels to constrict, it may reduce blood flow to the placenta. And because it easily crosses the placenta and reaches your baby (who then very slowly metabolizes it), caffeine may directly affect his developing cells.

A study in Denmark found that the risk of stillbirth more than doubled in women who drank a great deal of coffee per day — eight cups or more — compared with non-coffee drinkers. And some studies suggest that high levels of caffeine consumption by Mom may slightly reduce a baby’s birth weight, but other research has shown no association.

One study found a link between maternal caffeine consumption equal to three cups of coffee per day and an increased risk of having a son born with undescended testes. This happens when the testes don’t move from the pelvis into the scrotum as they usually do in late pregnancy.

Other research has shown that babies whose mothers consumed more than 500 mg of caffeine a day had faster heart rates and breathing rates and spent more time awake in the first few days after birth.”

Question by strange-artist: When “brewing coffee” is it best to add sugar with the coffee grinds before brewing?
Or what have you ever added to the grinds to make the coffee the best before it’s brewed?-thanks

Best answer:

Answer by Julie P
No. Always add your condiments after brewing. You can also add ground cinnamon to the grounds. It has nutritional properties such has lowering blood sugar. You only add about a teaspoon or less to a whole 12 cup pot to avoid bitterness.

What is the best Method for Brewing Coffee in the world?

Question by Sam: What is the best Method for Brewing Coffee in the world?
I need to know the best coffee brewing method. Step by step clear details would be really appreciated. Thanks guys.

Best answer:

Answer by Samantha
Use a French Press. There are tons of styles and sizes. You can get them anywhere: Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, etc. You put the ground coffee in the bottom (I put in like 1 scoop I think. I think it comes with the press, but I’m not sure) and then add water (just before boiling point). Let it sit for a couple minutes (the longer it sits, the stronger it will be) and then put the lid on, and push the plunger down to keep the grounds on the bottom so they wont pour into your cup.

What do you think? Answer below!

How To Find The Best Coffee Makers

Article by Brian Jones

Almost everyone loves coffee and there are times that these people would want to make the same type of store brewed coffee at home. The problem is that almost every coffee store has claimed that their coffeemakers are the “best” or “unrivaled”. It tends to get confusing if you don’t know what to look for. Here are some guidelines so that you don’t lose your way.

Know what you want

The first rule about choosing a coffeemaker is you preference. What type of coffee do you drink everyday? Can you make the same type of coffee everyday? Do you have the time to prepare the coffee yourself? Simple things like these can help define what type of a coffee drinker you are you and from there make your choices.

Know your budget

One reason why you might want to get a coffeemaker is that you would like to save on coffee costs at the local coffee house. You would use this coffeemaker to get the same quality coffee while at home and save you the trouble of going out all the time. Once you have determined your spending budget, you can start shopping around for one that would fit. Sometimes you may have to spend a bit more for some accessories but that’s really up to you. One way to save on shopping time is to go online and browse at several shopping sites.

Who knows, you may see the coffeemaker you are looking for on sale!Coffeemakers occupy a bit of space in your kitchen so you have to see if the one you plan to bring home would fit. It may seem trivial but you would be surprised how some people misjudge this aspect.

More often than not they don’t have any space to place and run the coffeemaker. If you don’t have space then you could opt to do some shelf or table modification but this would lead to more costs. Look for a coffeemaker that isn’t too big and can suit your demand of coffee per day.

Single serve or double serve?

Once you have decided where t place the coffeemaker, you have to check the way the coffeemaker operates. Are there a lot of buttons to pres or things that have to be done before you start brewing. One rule is that the coffeemaker must be easy for you to use in less than five minutes. If it takes longer then probably it is too complex for you.

Stick with a brand?

There are many coffee makers out there that have different brand names. It doesn’t mean that the most expensive or the most recognized is the best. Yes, they can be used for reference or as a guide but it doesn’t man that it’s the best choice. Who knows? You could very well get a brandless one but love the way it brews your coffee.

There are some smaller service coffee shops that specialize in making single serve coffee makers while others only opt for two. One thing that you have to be sure of is that at the end of the day is it worth it to make coffee at home?

Visit these sites if you want more information about best coffee makers or how to clean a coffee maker in particular.
