Brewing Coffee

When it comes to making good coffee, how you brew it is second only to buying coffee in terms of importance. We will cover four different ways that you can brew coffee, and suggestions on how to make sure you are brewing coffee for the best results. Check out the most common methods of brewing great coffee:

  • Drip Brewing (North American)
  • French Press (or Bodum Press or Coffee Plunger)
  • Espresso Coffee (Italian)
  • Turkish (or Greek) Coffee


Drip Brew

Most popular in North America the Drip Brew method, quite simply, heats the water to an optimal temperature, and then drips it onto a filter holding ground coffee.

French Press

While a little more work than flipping a switch and drip brewing, the French Press is considered by many as the best brewing method that extracts the optimal amount of flavor from coffee.

Espresso

Known as the "Italian" method of brewing coffee, espresso is a great shot of coffee on its own and the essense of cappuccinos and lattes. The coffee barista is a graduate in how to properly work an espresso machine.

Turkish

Perhaps the oldest, and for many, the strongest method of brewing coffee, this method steeps the coffee like tea for a strength you taste in the cup.
