Still, not all coffees taste the same brewed a certain way. Even if you are using the same coffee, the taste will come out differently in taste given the brew method. Here's a guide to pairing your coffee with the brew method.
Espresso Machine Espresso needs a fine grind with high pressure that will extract quickly and intensely. Medium dark roasts are preferred, with this type of espresso having less acidity and a little more body that can take the pressure out of the shot. Choose blends made solely for espresso, or single-origins that have chocolate, caramel and nut flavors rather than bright fruit notes.
Pour-Over (V60 Chemex Kalita) Pour over is an elegant, transparent brew that reveals the better nuances in each cup. It works well with lighter roasts, Mostly washed Ethiopian or Kenyan coffees with floral, citrus or stone fruit notes. Because of its transparency, pour over showcases premium single origins better than any other method.
French Press (Cafetire) French press gives a full-bodied, heavy-bodied and thicker-flavored cup. Medium to dark roasts are most suitable. Naturally processed coffee which has a more fruity and winey body is Mostly suitable.
Very light roasted coffees have a tendency to taste thin and grassy, so it is best to steer clear of very light roasts when using a French press. AeroPress Almost any coffee is capable of making use of the AeroPress. It Mainly excels with medium roasts and gives a smooth strong low bitter cup.
Try brewing at various coarse to fine grinds with short to longer brewing times to determine what suits your grains best. Moka Pot The Moka pot brews bold, intense coffee similar to espresso. I recommend using medium-dark roasts.
Slightly too light roasts will probably have an overly-sour flavor when exposed to the Moka pot's heat. Italian style blends make the traditional Moka pot brew. Cold Brew Cold brew uses a coarse grind and a long steep (12-24 hours in cold water).
The best result will come from a medium to dark roast. Also, natural processed coffees with chocolate and fruit notes will work best as a cold brew. Discover the perfect coffee suited for your brew at Global Coffee Haven.
