How To Smell A Good Aroma From Coffee

Every morning, as you get out of bed to face the new day, a sweet aroma brewing on the edge of your nostrils caresses you slowly down the staircase and through the kitchen door. As you open the door to the new world beyond your mattress and your pillowcases, you are enchanted once again by the haunting smell of the concoction you have come to know as coffee.

Yes, you read it right, coffee! How many people living in the fast lane drink coffee to perk up and be invigorated. How about people in the rural areas lying back to sound of beautiful afternoon melodies while basking the afternoon away after a good day’s work?

And do we ever love coffee. People have a fascination for coffee that has reached monstrous proportions. The people who have coffee noses and coffee tongues can’t work without having a sip of the well-loved concoction. There are many things that they can go without but coffee is definitely not one of them.

Can you smell the brew?"Coffee addicts" that is what we call them. These people are the kind of people that can’t live without caffeine even for one day. They have caffeine in the veins as the blood that flows in their bloodstream. They are so much into coffee that they go through great lengths for that ultimate coffee experience. Like a pilgrimage to Mecca or the search for the Holy Grail, like Don Quixote’s elusive dragon hunt or the search for Davey Jones’s locker, the hunt for the ultimate coffee experience is never ending.

Just when you thought that you’ve found it, another scent catches the wind and we are off to the next hunt. This is especially true for coffee addicts; their insatiable need to have coffee in their blood sometimes get the best of them and their pockets. They may not know it but they have been on the trail of coffee right in front of their noses.

But what is it with coffee and why do we come back day in and day out for the taste that it has? Coffee, we all know, wakes us up in the morning, perks up our day and give us the great kick-start to our day. Caffeine in coffee gives us just the right nudge to be always alert during the long day.

In the morning, it gives us the right amount to start off the day. In the afternoon, it relaxes a person after a long day of work and exhaustion. In between those times, coffee can be good for anything that suits our purpose. Coffee can also be deadly when taken in excess.

How To Start Each Day With A Cup Of Coffee

Coffee lovers always start the day by having a cup in the morning. Instead of going to the store and buying one, those who have a machine at home can enjoy the taste by making it in the kitchen.

The first thing needed of course is a good coffee making machine. There are many brands being offered in stores that are just as good as the other. If the customer buys whole beans, some time must be devoted to grinding them into smaller pieces. Since it takes awhile to warm up the machine, the user should turn it on so it will be ready when the contents are placed in.

Coffee filters will also determine how it will taste when it goes down and into the pot. You should always throw out the old especially if it was used the day before and replaced with a new one. Some people just get a teaspoon and drop it in the center. This doesn’t make everything even when the coffee machine does its job. This can be avoided by spreading it properly and applying a little pressure so it nestles in with the filter.

It is the choice of the drinker whether or not to sprinkle some sugar and cream or wait until it is poured into the cup. The secret to having good coffee is the temperature of the water. Some machines can be programmed to maintain this at 190 to 200 degrees and make everything warm after a few minutes.

Starting the day with a cup of coffee shouldn’t take too long. Most machines are able to keep it hot for 20 to 30 minutes so that other people who want a cup may grab one before going to the breakfast table.

You should also remember not to leave the machine on for more than an hour because the taste will change after the said period. Those who want to bring it on the road can still enjoy it by putting it in a stainless steel mug or thermos to ensure it stays warm.

The only way to start the day right is by devoting some time to cleaning the coffee machine. This can be done weekly or monthly whenever you are free because deposits and stains will affect how this will perform and could ruin the day before it’s started.

How to Brew the Perfect Cup of Coffee

Here are the basics to brewing the perfect cup of coffee: You take some coffee beans from a coffee plant. Roast them as desired. Grind them a lot or a little. Add hot water, ideally around 195 - 200 degrees F. Wait. Either filter to remove the grounds or leave them to settle to the bottom. Optionally add spices, milk product, chocolate, sugar, fat free lactose milk falsa; then SIP; Drink.

Smile. Wasn’t that easy?

First we must determine how you are brewing the coffee - most people know about their own method but there are one very common and six less - common methods. The most common is the plug in drip coffee maker which most of us grew up with or currently have. The key to the aut drip coffee maker is: keeping everything clean; making sure the water is heated to the right temperature and that everything is clean.
Here are the other six:

The first method, which I refer to as ‘Turkish Coffee’ is popular in both the middle east and my house. It involves using extremely finely ground coffee boiled in water, typically with sugar. Some choose to add various spices to the coffee, such as cardamom. There is no straining nor filtering, the coffee, grounds and all, are poured into cups for an excellent drinking experience. Great for surprising an unexpected house guests.

The French press method is typically chosen by gourmet coffee tasters, and as well as coffee snobs. It actually gives the maker a lot of control over the final product. Coarsely ground coffee is placed in a glass carafe. Hot water is added and a lid with a plunger is placed on top. After approximately 5 minutes, the plunger is pushed down, taking most of the grounds with it. The coffee is then immediately poured into cups. The French press can make a perfect cup of coffee.

Percolation is one of the oldest ways to make coffee and luckily its not used much anymore. One way to destroy a perfectly good coffee bean is to boil the grounds. Then keep boiling. Then boil some more. This is percolating and ends up with a thin and bitter drink. Obviously, this is not my ‘cup of tea’ but there are those who, for some reason, like this result. Like bus drivers and security guards.

The Far East or Vietnamese Coffee is an excellent coffee when its only you or a special friend drinking coffee that morning or evening - its also an excellent after diner coffee. An excellent way to brew a single cup of coffee that is unique in many ways. The final product is often described as ‘drinking a cup of melted coffee Hagen-Dazs ice cream.’ Made with condensed milk, it is great hot or served over ice for a summer drink

Some folks have purchased expensive home espresso coffee makers. Espresso is made when fine ground coffee is infused with hot water at high pressure for a short time. The resulting coffee is full bodied, strong flavored, and typically has a ‘crema’ or foam on top. Combined with steamed milk for a latte or cappuccino, espresso is quickly becoming an American favorite. High density intense coffee.

Our sixth method is Vacuum brewing is definitely cool to watch. The method uses a device composed of two globes, one on top of the other, with a filter between them. Coffee grounds are placed in the upper globe, water in the lower. When heated, the water, due to pressure from the resulting steam, travels up a tube into the upper globe, mixing with the coffee. As the device is allowed to cool, the water (now coffee) filters into the lower globe. A mediocre cup of coffee usually ensues.

The Home Coffee
Now, there are many concerns about food quality around the world, and coffee brewing being something that is done daily.

Whole Bean Coffee
Having the best whole bean coffee in your cupboard can make your day a little brighter.

Coffee Brewing at Home
The Moka Pot yields a strong brew with a heavy body, similar to press pot extraction.

Starbucks Brews First China Blend
Starbucks boost business in China by brewing limited-edition blend that Chinese beans.

So the key to all these types of coffee brewing. Use good quality gourmet Arabica beans - I prefer Columbia; Costa Rica or Brazil beans. Use whole beans and only grind them right before you brew them. Keep them in a tightly sealed tuber-ware like container. Use fresh bottled or mineral water. Heat it to 200 degress. Now sip the perfect cup of coffee.
