I have been making coffee at home for most of my adult life. Some days the results are good and other days... not so good. Try as I might, finding the right formula for a really good cup-o-Joe has eluded me all this time. Some days, after pouring the first cup, I thought I had it, but the next day... nope, something is different.
I have been making coffee at home for most of my adult life. Some days the results are good and other days... not so good. Try as I might, finding the right formula for a really good cup-o-Joe has eluded me all this time. Some days, after pouring the first cup, I thought I had it, but the next day... nope, something is different. This step is known as tamping. Tamping results in the coffee being pressed firmly into a condensed layer within the portafilter. If you don't usually do this when you are making coffee at home then this is a quick and easy way to greatly improve the quality of the coffee you produce. French Press - don't like the residue at all. It tastes too muddy for me. Drip type brewer - some days it's good, especially when I have just opened a new bag of beans. What about convenience. If you are a one or two mug a day consumer, this is the perfect brewer. Think about all the wasted or burned coffee that has gone unconsumed. If you leave your normal pot on the heat for more than an hour, the result is an unwanted, ill-tasting beverage. Finally, you need to apply the finishing tamp to incorporate these grounds into the tamped coffee mass. This time you can press much more firmly (apply about 30lbs of pressure). You can practice by tamping on some scales until you are comfortable achieving the right amount of pressure. My theory is that the freshness and the exact same amount of grounds create a consistent outcome. So I now have a new Keurig Single Serving coffee maker sitting on the kitchen counter. I am one happy morning person these days. Just thought you would like to know.
