There are 4 rules of thumb if you want to have good coffee drinks every time! Proportion The most important step in making great coffee is to use the right proportion of coffee to water. Starbucks recommends using two tablespoons of ground coffee (10 grams) for each six fluid ounces (180 milliliters) of water. Grind The amount of time the coffee and water spend together in direct contact during the brewing process affects the taste elements of your coffee drink. If you prepare an espresso coffee ground must be very fine, but for French press coarse ground coffee are better. If the brewing process is short use fine grind. If it is long process use coarse grind. Water A cup of coffee is almost all water (at least 98%) so it is very important to use good fresh, cold water heated to just off the boil (195° to 205° F or 90° to 96° C). Freshness Always use freshly ground coffee, because oxygen, light, heat, and moisture can ruin coffee taste. Don’t store coffee in refrigerator. For the best results, coffee should be ground just before brewing. | | ||
| CaffeMaker Tips: For making Starbucks coffee you need simple ingredients like strong coffee (prefer espresso), milk (soy, whole, nonfat) a flavoring and sometimes whipped cream and ice. Starbuck's sells all their branded flavorings so you can purchase your favorites. Don't be afraid to experiment with the ratios. You will need an espresso machine with steaming capabilities to create some of these beverages. If you do not have one, make very strong coffee. To make this strong coffee put 16 Starbucks scoops of coarsely ground coffee into a 12-cup French press. Add water that has just come to a boil. Allow to brew 4 min, then push plunger down. |
