Brewing a great coffee

Whats right for you, is right!
Lots of people will happily share with you the right way to make the “perfect” cup of coffee. But the great thing is that coffee is as diverse as we are, there certainly is no coconscious on what makes the perfect cup, but there are some ways to brew your favourite cup a little better.
Pour Over
Pour over coffee is back in fashion, one of the best methods to draw out the more subtle flavour of a given coffee. Trial and experimentation is certainly required as you try different blends, grinds and quantities in search of the perfect flavour for your taste.
Hint: use a finer grind for smaller poring cones and a larger grind for larger poring cones.
French Press
Hint: leave the grinds to circulate for about five minutes. A coarse grind is recommended.
Espresso
Hint: use a finer grind for smaller poring cones and a larger grind for larger poring cones.
Aeropress
Hint: a fine to medium grind is recommended. If you are new to Aeropress you may consider going for a slightly lighter roast than your usual preference as the process intensifies the flavours.
Auto Drip / Filter
Grind: grind on the fine side of medium.
Moka Pot
Hint: don’t over pack the basket, pre heat the water, brew on a moderate heat.
Percolator
Electronic percolators can give a consistent result and are less prone to over extraction than the stove top versions which take a little more attention.
Grind: Very coarse ground, medium roast.
Ibrik
Grind: extremely fine ground coffee, medium roast.
