First Look: 5 Key Conditions for Delicious Coffee

Great coffee has three main characteristics: it must be smooth and mellow on entry, have moderate acidity, and possess rich aroma—none of these can be missing! To brew coffee that meets these three conditions, thorough preparation work is essential.

1. Drip Pot Coffee Bean Quality

From selecting variety grades to taste preferences, both factors contribute to the delicious standards of brewed coffee. Experts explain that currently available coffee bean varieties on the market are mainly Arabica species, divided into two original types: Arabica and Robusta. Among them, Arabica is the higher quality coffee bean. Coffee types are mostly distinguished by origin, so you should make professional inquiries and comparisons when selecting.

2. Roasting Technology

Coffee bean roasting is commonly divided into 4 levels: lightest roast, light roast, dark roast, and heavy dark roast. Light roast coffee beans have a more acidic flavor, while heavily roasted coffee beans are strong and pungent with sweetness. You can choose according to personal preference.

3. Blending Technology

Coffee made from a single coffee bean variety can be somewhat monotonous. You can blend 3-6 types of coffee beans in specific proportions to enhance flavor, making the coffee taste more stable and layered.

To blend multiple coffee beans, you must first fully understand the uniqueness and flavor of each bean, so the blending proportions will be appropriate. This method works on the same principle as perfume fragrance blending and cocktail mixing.

4. Water Quality Selection

Water quality is divided into two types: hard water and soft water. Hard water is alkaline and can brew coffee with strong aroma; soft water is more acidic and produces coffee with a smoother mouthfeel. The mineral content in water should ideally be between 100-200ppm.

5. Water Temperature Control

Water temperature between 88-95°C is most suitable for brewing coffee. When exceeding 95°C, the coffee becomes bitter and astringent. Coffee brewed below 88°C will be too thin and weak.
