Are you addicted to caffeine? If you can't get through the day without a cup of coffee, we're here to help!

For many, brewing the perfect cup of coffee is considered an art form. Everyone's coffee needs are different. Many people like sweet and some like bitter.

Before preparing a delicious cup of coffee, you should think about what kind of coffee you like best. Once you've settled on a particular type of coffee, start brewing it until you get perfect results.

To help you brew the best coffee possible, we've listed 6 tips in this article. Let’s dive into this article to understand the science of coffee better.

6 Tips for Preparing the Perfect Coffee

Want to enjoy perfectly brewed coffee at home? There is no great science; some observation and focus will help you.

1. More expensive coffee tastes better

Even if you can afford branded and aromatic coffee grounds, it provides the best coffee taste. However, branded coffee grounds have more aroma, flavor and texture.

If you don't want to spend money on branded coffee, that's fine because you can also make great coffee with regular beans or ground coffee.

Most supermarket coffee has a pungent flavor and high levels of caffeine, which is not good for your health.

Regardless, Arabica lovers can never rely on Robusta because of the sourness and taste.

2. Always buy fresh coffee beans

When it comes to great coffee, we cannot ignore the importance of freshly harvested coffee beans.

Instead of buying ready-made coffee grounds in the market, use coffee beans. Why?

The rationale can be summarized as follows: Fresh coffee beans ensure a better taste and there are no harsh chemicals when ground at home.

Once you enjoy the rich flavor of your coffee beans, you'll never enjoy finished coffee grounds again.

3. Use the right amount of coffee

If you use the right amount of coffee, you'll get a perfectly tasting coffee.

Depending on the amount of coffee grounds, the taste can vary greatly. If the coffee is too small, it will lack aroma and taste.

However, using more than the recommended amount of coffee can result in a bitter taste. So adding 1-2 tablespoons of ground coffee is enough to brew 6 oz.

4. Accurate water temperature

Try using water between 195 and 200 degrees Fahrenheit, as boiling water absorbs the flavors to the point where they taste bitter and sour.

Mixing with cold water will create large clumps of ground coffee that won't mix properly and will make the coffee tasteless.

If you use a coffee machine with manual water temperature, pay special attention to the water temperature.

5. Grind coffee beans into fine powder

Coffee beans should be crushed and ground to a fine smooth powder. Lumpy and uneven coffee grounds can affect the texture and flavor of your coffee.

Most of the time, coffee grounds are purchased in powder form to avoid the grinding process.

However, the best aroma and flavor is obtained by purchasing fresh beans and grinding them into a powder.

It may sound difficult, but trust the process because once you get addicted to the taste, you'll end up in the market for coffee grounds.

6. Clean your coffee maker

The biggest mistake is a dirty coffee maker filter. Most of the time, filtered coffee grounds will stick to the mesh of the filter, causing the coffee to lack flavour.

This method does not work with a French Press or Pour-Over. This would be a useful item for a maker like Drip-Brew.
