Tips for home barista
1. For machines - cool down boiling water for a few
degrees
to increase aroma and reduce bitterness
2. For filters - firstly pour hot water over to let the
ground beans to steep,
then pour the remaining water gently over he beans.
Keep the coffee moist by adding water little by little,
ensuring a constant drip.
3. Try bottles water instead of tap water -
different hardness and PH value means different finesse
of flavours
4. Do not leave coffee exposed to a heat source,
choose a preheated thermal flask instead
5. Purchase freshly roasted beans to increase aroma &
grind the beans
as close to consumption as possible
-- Produce exquisite coffee in every cup, not just warm
black liquid --
