Perfecting your Brew
V60 Pour Over
The Hario V60 is a cone shaped dripper with ridges along the inside walls. It is the most common Pour Over device. Brewing with a V60 requires some practice and isn't as forgiving as other brew methods but the result of a good pour over is very rewarding.
Espresso
Brewing great espresso will take practice to master, and will definitely take some experimentation. Grind, weight and time are key factors when brewing espresso, and you’ll have to adjust one or more of these elements several times to get your shot dialed.
French Press
One of the most popular methods. It's known for the bold flavors it produces as a result of the mesh filter instead of the paper filter. The mesh allows the oils that would normally be filtered out by paper to be enjoyed after the plunge and pour.
Aero Press
This is an ideal brewing method for traveling but many people use it as their daily home method. The Aeropress method uses a thin paper filter and pressure to force the water through the coffee. This will have a similar mouthfeel to a pour over.
Auto Drip Machine
Automatic drip is how most of us first learned to make coffee, dropping coffee into the filter basket pushing the button, and waiting for the results. And while the drip’s brewing technology hasn’t changed much over the years, using an approach—in terms of coffee to water ratio canl yield great results.
Moka Pot
The moka pot makes espresso-style coffee without the need for a large, expensive machine. The three chambered pot relies on pressure generated by stovetop steam, which builds up in the lowest chamber and pushes up through the coffee grounds.
