Making the Perfect Cup of Coffee
Making the perfect cup of coffee is something different for everyone. It is an art and a science,
that is not only effected by the coffee that is used, but also the equipment. The water, the
water temperature, the time the water is in contact with the coffee, the grind, the type of filter,
all play an important role in determining the flavor. Fine tuning these aspects is the art of
making the ultimate cup of coffee.
The four main principles :
1.
The Water
It is important to use fresh water that you like. Since coffee is 98% water the taste of the water
will come through in the coffee. The Duo Filter system removes chlorine taste, but the better the
water you start with the better the flavor of the coffee.
2.
The Coffee
Chose premium fresh whole beans suited to your taste. There are two principale species of
coffee: Arabica and Robusta. Arabica beans are the choice beans with more flavor and less
caffeine. Robusta beans have more caffeine and are more « robust » and are usually used in
blends. The origin of the beans and the roast will determine the flavor. Roasts vary from light to
very dark. Light roasts have a smooth, delicate aromatic taste, medium to medium dark roasts
