Hi there and welcome to the final tip for making the best tasting gourmet coffee at home in 2010. I decided to start this New Year, and decade, with some pointers to help you get the most out of your coffee beans. So the last few blogs have discussed my recommendations. Here, in all their gourmet glory are the
5 Tips for Making Gourmet Coffee at Home in 2010
Tip#1- Start with a clean pot
Tip#2- Use quality water
Tip#3-Choose your coffee beans carefully
Tip#4- Use the correct grind
Tip#5- Create an atmosphere
Tip#5, create an atmosphere, may not sound like a big deal. Then again, think about why so many folks come to a coffee shop like our Brown and Jenkins roastery in the first place. Aside from the great tasting coffee, it's often for the atmosphere.
If you're trying to save money by making your coffee at home, you should still enjoy the experience on every level. One of the best pieces of advice I have, is to invest in a coffee mug you absolutely love. A mug that fits the shape and size of your hand or one that has a picture that makes you smile. Coffee mugs make great gifts for coffee lovers, because it's always good to have a variety of mugs you love to choose from. Even great travel mugs can make a coffee drinker's experience more fulfilling.
In regards to creating an atmosphere, consider having friends over for a coffee cupping night. Complete with desert and a couple of your favorite Brown and Jenkins coffees and you have a whole night of fun and enjoyment.
Coffee drinking is more than just an injection of caffeine. Savoring gourmet coffee at home, on the road, or in a coffee shop is an experience for all the senses.
