Can you imagine taking a course to learn how to brew coffee? Well, actually there are many folks out there that are doing it, those baristas that you see in Starbucks or Seattle best, have to go through some training to be that good.
That is of course for commercial purpose, but for ourself, we also like to have it better, don't we? We also like to be able to brew a coffee that can have those coffee shop's standard, and this is where this free coffee course comes in useful.
This is a coffee course that is meant for people that wants to learn how to brew coffee. It touches on some simple pointers on how to get a better cup of coffee by getting these elements right.
Some are common knowledge, for example, the water temperature and the quantity of coffee powder one put inside the coffee maker. You probably know that this would affect the finished brew, but do you know what are the right measurement to get a good brew, well, this course shows you that.
Then, there are a few elements that are not so obvious, which is the maintenance of the coffee maker and the quality of the water. Seriously, prior to reading about this course, I have not thought about how cleaning a coffee maker can affect or even change the quality of the coffee.
But, those that drank those half-way house coffee shops coffee can tell you all about the rancid coffee. That happens when the coffee is being used again and again without any cleaning. The coffee oil inside after a while starts to turn bad and when new coffee is brew, the coffee oil mixed with it and you can imagine how your coffee would taste like.
How about quality of water, have you even thought about how your coffee would taste like if you are not using tap water? Probably not, but this course provides a new insights on how your coffee can be better is soft water is being used.
The last thing that this course touches is the correct grind size for the correct coffee maker. While, this seems like a very basic point, I know that many people are not following this rule, primarily because they are trying to "make" their own blend.
Here is how it goes, over extracted or under extracted coffee would not make it to the "most well liked" coffee list, it would simply be a low grade coffee. And this is what you get when you use a wrong grind size on your coffee makers.
If this seems interesting to you and you would like to learn more, check out that free coffee course and see how it can help you to brew a better cup of coffee...
